Christine Valters Paintner, online Abbess at the Abbey of the Arts, joins us today to discuss her new book Breath Prayer: An Ancient Practice for the Everyday Sacred. Benedictine oblate and author, Christine takes us into the world of breath prayer including what breath prayers are, the unique blessings of incorporating breath prayer into our daily lives, how breath prayer dates back to the practices of our ancient desert mothers and fathers, its relationship with Lectio Divina, and shares some breath prayers for specific times of the day and experiences. She even leads us in a guided breath prayer at the end of the conversation!
