It’s not out of reach.  It can become a natural part of your everyday life.  It can become a natural part of every breath you breathe.

When we inwardly love God, God rushes in to flood our hearts, our minds, our souls, with His holy presence, His love, His peace, His joy, His light.  Our love for God is like a sweet, irresistible nectar that God can’t refuse.  Like the prodigal son’s father, He rejoices and celebrates with us whenever we turn our hearts and minds back to Him.

Over fifteen years ago, Master gave me a somewhat embarrassing revelation that I needed to love God.  I thought I loved God, I thought I was following the Master’s greatest commandment.  But in reality, it was only a mental concept for me that I agreed with on an intellectual level.  It wasn’t a practice of the heart.  Realizing I was devotionally challenged, I decided to find an inward practice to develop devotion, develop love for God. Since this revelation came to me while taking a walk, I resolved to find a way to practice loving God while taking a walk. Something I could do every day and over time, little by little, deepen my devotion, deepen my communion with the Lord.

A simple practice of devotional breathing emerged from my ongoing exploration and ongoing trial and refinement efforts.  It is a practice which can be done walking, standing, sitting, with eyes open, or with eyes closed.

I wrote book about this called “Love Breathing Walking Meditation”, which describes the practice while walking. Walking has some advantages. It can be easier to coax oneself into a loving communion while walking. This coaxing process is detailed in the book along with my own journey to this devotional practice.

Currently I am rewriting the book to include more in-depth discussions on using devotional breathing as a sitting practice. It will be renamed “Devotional Breathing.”
For now, a free pamphlet describing the practice can be read online here or downloaded as a pdf.

I hope with a sincere effort you find this inner practice brings you more and more into God’s loving arms.

In His Service,
Eric Munro
