  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.
• 0:41
  SPEAKER_00: Well, friend, here you are, once again on the precipice of summer.
• 0:47
  SPEAKER_00: The spring storms are still raging, yet the heat is turning up.
• 0:53
  SPEAKER_00: I personally anticipate and get a little excited about the new rhythm that summer offers, yet I am also apprehensive about the open-ended days without additional guidance for some of my teenagers.
• 1:08
  SPEAKER_00: Now, how about you?
• 1:10
  SPEAKER_00: While planning for the summer, I thought it would be perfect to offer you some breath prayers as you face the storms of life, or as life turns up the heat.
• 1:21
  SPEAKER_00: I do hope that you find this specific episode an easy go-to as you start your mornings in the months ahead, or use it even as a midday break when you aren't able to escape to the pool with a good book.
• 1:34
  SPEAKER_00: You know, because that's really great, right?
• 1:38
  SPEAKER_00: But before I jump in, you might be asking, what is a breath prayer?
• 1:43
  SPEAKER_00: Well, a breath prayer is an intentionally short and repetitive prayer, usually just consisting of a few words or brief phrases.
• 1:52
  SPEAKER_00: The brevity allows it to easily be remembered and then repeated.
• 1:56
  SPEAKER_00: The unique aspect of a breath prayer is that it's synchronized with your breath.
• 2:01
  SPEAKER_00: You inhale as you silently say or think about one part of the prayer, and exhale as you say or consider the second part.
• 2:09
  SPEAKER_00: Receive breathing in and breathe out and let go.
• 2:15
  SPEAKER_00: The repetition of the prayer as you breathe in and out can become a focal point for meditation.
• 2:21
  SPEAKER_00: It does help calm the mind and increases the connection to the love of your Heavenly Father.
• 2:27
  SPEAKER_00: Now I prefer to read a brief passage of scripture and then use it as my focal point, and then I pray parts of that passage.
• 2:35
  SPEAKER_00: So that's what I'll be doing for you today.
• 2:38
  SPEAKER_00: I'm going to start with the passage for the Enneagram ones, I'll model the breath prayer, and then I'll follow up with an additional word of prayer.
• 2:48
  SPEAKER_00: Type one, I bless you with the truth that his word calms the storm.

• 3:09
  SPEAKER_00: The disciples were amazed.
• 3:11
  SPEAKER_00: Who is this man?
