I created the top graphic in Procreate in English and the one below in Hebrew, in PicMonkey.
The backgrounds were found by searching for Yahweh written in Hebrew

While reading a fictional story by one of my favorite authors, Susan May Warren, story line, was a woman in the story was living in chaos, a lot like my life now and she was told: When you feel anxiety and are overwhelmed and you think you can't go on, breathe the name of "Yahweh"
she described it as breathing the YH in through nose and WH out the mouth.
Its so simple, no counting involved, and when I am anxious, even in bed,
I breath YH....in and WH.... in and out , a cry out to God, Lord, Adonai, a simple breath, in and out seeking strength and comfort.
I thought this was something the author wrote, but when you type in breathe YHWH their is much to read if you desire to overthink or understand more.
I said to myself, Don't overthink it Sandra, Juts try it. Just Do it. It can't hurt you, it might help you.
("Yahweh" (YHWH) is the four-consonant name of God in the Hebrew Bible, often translated as "LORD" or "Adonai" in English.)
NOTE: I have tried many breathing techniques and one is 4-2-6 and 4-7-8, they are ways to breathe that calms us. I am not linking or listing but just type in breathing exercises and will be many.
