Hebrew keyword: נִשְׁמַת (Nishmat) – breath, soul
Transliteration: Nishmat
Deeper meaning: The first breath, 'nishmat chayim,' is both your origin and your ongoing connection with Hashem. Even when distracted or burdened, a quiet breath can return you to inner calm and memory of your Source.
Just as every morning you thank God with 'Modeh Ani,' remembering the soul breathed anew, so too you can pause and sense gratitude at any moment.
Reflection: Take one slow, quiet breath and notice: What does it feel like to inhale gratitude, to sense 'nishmat'—your soul—right now?
