Be still, and know that I am God;

I will be exalted among the nations,

I will be exalted in the earth.

Psalm 46:10 (NIV)

Breathe.

Inhale through the nose 4 seconds.

Hold the breath for 7 seconds.

Exhale through the mouth 8 seconds.

The ancient 4/7/8 discipline relaxes body, mind, and soul. Breaths calm, heartbeats slow, and muscles relax.

Baptize the breathing exercise with sacred significance. Memorize the first words of Psalm 46:10: “Be still, and know that I am God.” Repeat the phrase while inhaling, holding, and exhaling. Claim the space as holy ground and recognize the moment as divine epiphany.

Experience inspiration with its dual meaning of inhalation and encouragement.

Experience enthusiasm with its dual meaning of divine passion and Godly zeal.

Incorporate the spiritual discipline into daily routine.

Breathe.

Inhale through the nose 4 seconds.

Hold the breath for 7 seconds.

Exhale through the mouth 8 seconds.

“Be still, and know that I am God.”
