The Importance of Deep Breathing
In Conjunction with Meditation

It has been found that people can reach greater points of concentration in prayer and eliminate the influences that distract their mind, thru correct breathing.  Actually, you can shift the level of your awareness and your state of mind thru changing the rhythm of your breathing.

All that we know of life is built upon an understanding that every item of matter has its own frequency of vibration, and thru controlled breathing you can virtually control certain aspects of your own vibration.  Anyone who wishes to obtain any degree of control, whether it is concerning his spiritual or physical health, can do so through properly approaching his breathing during times of meditation.

Do not underestimate the significance of the speed and rhythm of your breathing, for the alteration of your breathing can produce amazing effects.  Proper breathing can help you in waiting on the Lord, and bring to you other physical releases.

While breathing, the mind should be focused upon that which you want from the Lord.   In conjunction with your controlled, rhythmic breathing, you need to visualize what it is you are looking for;  hold that visualization, and do not doubt that you will have what you have set your spirit upon.  Any doubt or conflicting signals will greatly deter the manifestation process.  This application of controlled, slow breathing, coupled with visualization, can give you great immunity in almost any spiritual battle.  See yourself clothed in His presence, because the truth is that you are, and the more you set your spirit upon the truths conveyed to you in scripture, or that which has come to you in prayer, the more the reality or truth will displace the lie and illusion.

The Rate of Breathing

We normally breathe from 16 to 18 breathes per minute.  As you slow down the rate of breathing to 10 to 12 breaths per minute, you will find that it will become very hard to feel excited, irritable, or nervous.   If you can reduce your breathing to a deep, slow, rhythm of 10 breathes per minute, for five minutes, your brain will become very clear and focused.  Many of the conflicting vibrations and thoughts which we allow to pass through our mind and body will have been canceled out by the rhythmic, powerful beat brought about by slower breathing.  By this very simple process you will be able to eliminate the distractions and wanderings of your mind.

Your most effective deep breathing can only be attained if done through you nose, on the inhale, and out through your mouth, on the exhale.  Steadily, quietly, regularly without strain, and preferably, in a quiet place.  It is also not suggested to enter into a period of waiting on the Lord or meditation right after eating.

Once again, it is important to remember to visualize as you enter into this level of meditation and waiting on God.  He is more close to you than your breath, and as you enter into a state of deep meditation, know that you are aligning yourself with His omnipotence, His power, His protection, His divinity, and as you breathe in, you are drawing these realities to you.

To Attain Greater
Perception & Clairvoyance...

The more "in-harmony" you become, the more attuned you will be to the spiritual realm, and God's presence.  The slower the rate of your breathing, the greater the control you will have over the vibratory activities of every aspect of your being.  According to different articles published on meditation, if your rate of breathing can be slowed to 3 or 4 breathes per minute, then what begins to happen is a subduing of all of your bodily vibrations to such an extent that they cease to cause "clutter' or conflicting signals.  In addition to bringing all of your bodily vibrations to bear, this slower rhythmic breathing has a broadening affect upon the 6th chakra or "third eye" as some cultures refer to it, and you will find the very subtle and delicate psychic and spiritual perception will begin to open up.
