  SPEAKER_00: Plans, parties, and presents.
• 0:03
  SPEAKER_00: Man, these days always go by in a blur.
• 0:07
  SPEAKER_00: But what is Advent really all about?
• 0:10
  SPEAKER_00: Advent is your invitation to take a step back.
• 0:15
  SPEAKER_00: For eight years, I've gathered and invited you here to slow down and to tune into something a little bit deeper.
• 0:22
  SPEAKER_00: This season is about waiting and reconnecting.
• 0:27
  SPEAKER_00: For you, the multi-passionate woman who is seeking purpose.
• 0:33
  SPEAKER_00: On God, on yourself, and the people who matter most to you.
• 0:38
  SPEAKER_00: So this year, I'd love for you to pause with me.
• 0:41
  SPEAKER_00: I am creating space for intentionality and to make more room for Christ to meet you and me right where we find ourselves.
• 0:50
  SPEAKER_00: So, welcome to the 8th Annual Advent Podcast Series, where we will learn a little, laugh a lot, and focus on celebrating with our whole selves.
• 1:04
  SPEAKER_00: Merry Christmas friend! How are you doing?
• 1:08
  SPEAKER_00: Are you ready for the big day?
• 1:10
  SPEAKER_00: Do you have all the gifts shop for unwrapped?
• 1:12
  SPEAKER_00: Or are you still hoping that those last-minute Amazon orders make it in time?
• 1:18
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe you do have all the physical elements of the celebration all put together.
• 1:24
  SPEAKER_00: But maybe you're feeling a little frazzled because of your pace and the tension from the relationship dynamics.
• 1:31
  SPEAKER_00: Well, regardless of how you are feeling here in these days right before Christmas, or maybe you're listening to this a few days after, I want you to know that I'm here for you.
• 1:42
  SPEAKER_00: And I hope that you use this short, but hopefully soul-replenishing episode just for you.
• 1:49
  SPEAKER_00: In a minute, I'm going to talk you through a breath prayer for each personality type, each Enneagram type, that you can write down and practice for yourself.
• 1:58
  SPEAKER_00: Or you can just listen to this episode as many times as you want and enjoy all the breath prayers.
• 2:04
  SPEAKER_00: Of course, I recommend that.
• 2:05
  SPEAKER_00: I do it myself, in fact.
• 2:08
  SPEAKER_00: So whether you're driving around town or you've found a warm place to walk, or you're making a mess baking cookies in the kitchen, may the peace of Christ envelop you today.
• 2:20
  SPEAKER_00: Now, before I jump right in, you may be unfamiliar with the term breath prayer.
• 2:26
  SPEAKER_00: Well, to explain it just a little bit, a breath prayer is intentionally a short and repetitive prayer.
• 2:33
  SPEAKER_00: It's usually just a few words or a brief phrase.
• 2:36
  SPEAKER_00: The brevity allows it to be easily repeated and perhaps even memorized and remembered.
• 2:43
  SPEAKER_00: The unique aspect of a breath prayer is that it's synchronized with your breath.
• 2:48
  SPEAKER_00: You inhale as you say or silently think about one part of the prayer, and then you exhale as you say or consider the second half.
• 2:58
  SPEAKER_00: You receive as you breathe in, and when you breathe out, you let go.
• 3:05
  SPEAKER_00: The repetition of the prayer as you breathe in and out helps create a focal point for your time of meditation.
• 3:13
  SPEAKER_00: It does physically help you calm the mind, and it also can spiritually increase the connection to the love of your Heavenly Father.
• 3:22
  SPEAKER_00: Now, when I do breath prayers like I'm gonna do for you today, I prefer to add a brief passage of scripture, and I use that as my focus point, and then I pray parts of that passage.
• 3:33
  SPEAKER_00: That's what you can do at home, and that's what I'll do for you today.
• 3:37
  SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna start with a passage for the Enneagram 8s.
• 3:40
  SPEAKER_00: I'll model the breath prayer, and then there'll be a little bit of silence so you can repeat after me, or just soak in the words that I said.
• 3:52
  SPEAKER_00: I bless you, type 8, with the truth found in Colossians 1.11.
• 3:56
  SPEAKER_00: We also pray that you will be strengthened with all of his glorious power so you will have all the endurance and patience you need.
• 4:04
  SPEAKER_00: May you be filled with joy.
• 4:07
  SPEAKER_00: Breathe in.
• 4:09
  SPEAKER_00: God's patience fills me.

  SPEAKER_00: Breathe out.
