Breathing His Name

Psalm 1:1-2 "Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers, 2 but whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on his law day and night." A while back, I was using a guided Christian meditation from YouTube. Please don't get hung up on guided meditation, as it was all Biblical, and we are told to meditate on God's Word. Sometimes, it helps to focus if someone is talking you through it. Anyway, the person speaking counseled the listener to focus and try to control their breathing. She said that our respirations actually sound like the original Hebrew name for God, YHWH (Jehovah). I haven't been able to do much research on this myself, but Tanner found an article that said "God’s name, YHWH, is comprised of aspirated consonants that, spoken, are the sound of breathing." (The Rabbit Room; "Is The Name Of God The Sound Of Our Breathing?") Since I have many fractured vertebrae, I've lost quite a bit of height in my torso. This has reduced my lung capacity, which makes me take more breaths per minute. I also often hyperventilate while I have to be on my side for wound care. A couple weeks ago, I started thinking again about the idea that each breath says God's name. I'm trying to be conscious of that, especially when I'm feeling anxious. Genesis 2:7 says "Then the Lord God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being." Isn't it amazing to think that, when God gave life to the first man, He also put His name in the breath of all of us who would come after. I've read that the Israelites didn't intentionally pronounce this name for God, as they revered it so highly, knowing that they were not to take His name in vain. I'm not sure if they knew that their every breath was speaking his name. I hope this encourages you to sometimes just think about Him as you breathe.
