The Breath

[Oriole]

Ra instructs Don to expel breath over Carla (and other things) during psychic attacks... the "breath of righteousness."

What is the breath?

Does Ra provide more information on the importance and use of breath?

Is it used for any other purpose than taking out psychic attacks, cleansing, and healing?

Obviously, breathing is an essential part of life that keeps us alive, and we tend to stop breathing when we are stressed (remember to breath!).

I've seen the breath used in many cultures - in greeting/sharing energy with other self... to transfer information/wisdom/spiritual power from master to student... I've seen 'exorcists' use it during exorcisms... mindful breathing is important in meditation... some creation stories has the creator god breath life into humans... etc., etc.,.

Interesting -- your comment on "remember to breathe" when you're stressed.
I teach the Butyeko breathing technique, and I know that stress can cause hyperventilation, which makes you feel more stressed -- anxiety increases ready for fight or flight. pausing after the outbreath, before the next inbreath counteracts this and can bring a calm feeling of being completely able to cope easily. so, what I'm saying is that temporary halt in breathing can be a very good and relaxing act, which can come instinctively. I highly recommend pause breathing for working through a stressful situation.
