  SPEAKER_00: Welcome to the Simply Wholehearted Podcast with Amy Wicks, your wholehearted life and business coach.
• 0:09
  SPEAKER_00: You should know this podcast will inspire you to grow in self-awareness, be passionate about your faith, and get clear on your calling.
• 0:17
  SPEAKER_00: If you are new here, then welcome to the community of multi-passionate women who love to go deep on topics like faith, Enneagram, relationships, leadership, and community.
• 0:30
  SPEAKER_00: This conversation might provide the step you need to make the change you desire.
• 0:35
  SPEAKER_00: So let's get started.
• 0:45
  SPEAKER_00: Can you believe it?
• 0:47
  SPEAKER_00: Well, how is your summer?
• 0:49
  SPEAKER_00: Do you find yourself excited about the change of weather and the routine ahead of you?
• 0:54
  SPEAKER_00: Or are you dreading it a little bit, anxious about it?
• 0:58
  SPEAKER_00: For me personally, I am always excited about the new rhythm of fall.
• 1:04
  SPEAKER_00: I love the change in weather.
• 1:06
  SPEAKER_00: The colors in the Midwest get so beautiful.
• 1:09
  SPEAKER_00: I love my sweaters.
• 1:11
  SPEAKER_00: And I like pumpkin flavored things, minus pumpkin spice latte.
• 1:16
  SPEAKER_00: But I'm also sad this year about the fall change because this new rhythm represents a lot of change happening in our home.
• 1:26
  SPEAKER_00: But enough about me.
• 1:28
  SPEAKER_00: You know I like to share these sort of things in my weekly email so you can find more info there and stay tuned.
• 1:35
  SPEAKER_00: But I want to talk about you because you are in the midst of your own transition and you're facing the fall shift.
• 1:43
  SPEAKER_00: So as you do that, whether it's a good thing or a hard thing, I want to offer you some breath prayers to help guide you through the season of change with some additional peace, grace, and encouragement to trust in God's perfect plan for you.
• 1:58
  SPEAKER_00: Now, obviously, I talked about this episode being about breath prayers.
• 2:03
  SPEAKER_00: And maybe you've been around here for a while, so you've enjoyed the breath prayers I've offered before.
• 2:08
  SPEAKER_00: Or maybe you're going, breath prayers, that's interesting, but I don't really know what that is.
• 2:13
  SPEAKER_00: So how about I give you a little bit of understanding before we dive in?
• 2:17
  SPEAKER_00: A breath prayer is intentionally short and repetitive, and it usually consists of just a few words or a brief phrase.
• 2:25
  SPEAKER_00: This brevity allows you to easily remember it and then repeat it, whether you're doing it at a concentrated time or maybe just later in the day after listening.
• 2:34
  SPEAKER_00: So this unique aspect of prayer is that it's synchronized with your breath.
• 2:41
  SPEAKER_00: You inhale as you think about or say one part of the prayer, and then you exhale as you say or consider the other part.
• 2:51
  SPEAKER_00: So breathing in, you can receive a message of truth, and breathing out, you can remind yourself of truth, or maybe it represents letting go of something.
• 3:02
  SPEAKER_00: In addition, the repetition of the prayer as you breathe in and out helps to create a focal point for meditation.
• 3:09
  SPEAKER_00: It can help calm the mind and increase the connection to the love of your Heavenly Father.
• 3:14
  SPEAKER_00: I like to read a brief passage of scripture and then use that as my focus point.
• 3:19
  SPEAKER_00: And then I pray parts of that passage or take what I'm getting away from that part of passage.
• 3:26
  SPEAKER_00: So that's what I'm going to demonstrate and do with you and for you today.
• 3:30
  SPEAKER_00: And I'm going to start today with the Enneagram Nines and go all the way to the Enneagram ones.
• 3:35
  SPEAKER_00: I will model the breath prayer, and I'm going to also follow up with an additional word of prayer and blessing over you.
