A segment on NPR today calls attention to a stress reliever and health factor that is right under our nose. In a discussion about the potential effects of breathing on everything from digestion, heart, brain function, and our immune system, “Mladen Golubic, a physician in the Cleveland Clinic’s Center for Integrative Medicine, says that breathing can have a profound impact on our physiology and our health.”

The article caused me to think about parallels in our spiritual life. How much of what we are looking for is there, right under our nose?

Is it even possible (I ask myself) that right under my own nose is a mouth that needs to take a deep breath… and to stop moving long enough to hear what others are saying—and far more importantly– to be still long enough to know… who is God?
