O Lord, all my longing is known to you; my sighing is not hidden from you. My heart throbs, my strength fails me; as for the light of my eyes—it also has gone from me. My friends and companions stand aloof from my affliction, and my neighbors stand far off. Those who seek my life lay their snares; those who seek to hurt me speak of ruin, and meditate treachery all day long. But I am like the deaf, I do not hear; like the mute, who cannot speak. Truly, I am like one who does not hear, and in whose mouth is no retort. But it is for you, O Lord, that I wait; it is you, O Lord my God, who will answer. (Psalm 38: 9-15)

A sigh can cleanse or it can attack. When directed at another a sigh is too often passive aggressive.

When we are alone a sigh can be a release of tension or an expression of incomprehension. A sigh can begin to unravel hurt. It can also be our first reaction in awe.

Our sigh can be an exhaling that is the first step to meditation. A cleansing breath helps open the mind and heart.
