The primary Christian mindfulness practice is to breathe with God. An underlying part of many spiritual exercises, it also is a quick way to reconnect with God, restore inner peace and lower stress.
The four-part process is as simple as breathing. With intention and attention, of course.
- Turn your full attention to the exercise.
- Invite God into this exercise and ask Him to bless it.
- Breathe in and out slowly for the next five minutes, using your Jesus prayer, breath prayer or mantrum.
- As you finish, express gratitude to God for this moment.

This exercise can be done anywhere, at any time and around anyone. You can quickly breathe in and out without attracting attention to yourself. It brings you back into the present moment in the presence of God. That is the very definition of Christian mindfulness.

A good reminder. How often, in our daily lives, do we even forget to breathe, let alone, breathe with God. Thanks for the gentle nudge.
Thanks, Denny! Hope you are doing well.
