With this in mind, I began to search for a
new way
of translating theopneustos to more accurately reflect this, and since pneustos can be translated as «wind,
breath, or spirit» thought
of «wind
of God» (very similar to what Jesus said in John 3:8), «God - spirited» (which was too vague for me, much like «
inspiration»), or even «
breath of God» or «God's
breath.»
The
inspiration for «Just Breathe» first came about a little over a year ago when I overheard my then 5 - year - old son talking with his friend about how emotions affect different regions
of the brain, and how to calm down by taking deep
breaths — all things they were beginning to learn in Kindergarten at their
new school, Citizens
of the World Charter School, in Mar Vista, CA.
