  SPEAKER_00: Do you have all the gift shop for unwrapped?
• 0:05
  SPEAKER_00: Or are you more like me and you're hoping the Amazon packages will make it to your doorstep in time?
• 0:12
  SPEAKER_00: Or perhaps you do have all the physical elements of the celebration together, but the pace and the relational dynamics has you feeling a little frazzled.

  SPEAKER_00: Hey, I'm Amy Wicks, a wife, mom, author, certified coach, and host of this Simply Wholehearted Podcast.

  SPEAKER_00: Welcome to the 7th Annual Advent Series, where you'll hear about the practical rhythms for cultivating gratitude and celebration this holiday season.
• 1:35

  SPEAKER_00: I pray this wholehearted take on the Avon season blesses you richly, sweet friend.
• 2:04
  SPEAKER_00: Merry Christmas.
• 2:10
  SPEAKER_00: Before I jump right in, you might be asking, what is a breath prayer?
• 2:15
  SPEAKER_00: Well, a breath prayer is intentionally short and repetitive.
• 2:19
  SPEAKER_00: It usually consists of just a few words or a brief phrase.
• 2:23
  SPEAKER_00: And the brevity allows you to easily remember it and then repeat it.
• 2:28
  SPEAKER_00: The unique aspect of a breath prayer is that it's synchronized with your breath.
• 2:33
  SPEAKER_00: You inhale as you silently say or think about one part of the prayer, and exhale as you say or consider the other part.
• 2:42
  SPEAKER_00: I like to think about when I breathe in, I'm receiving truth.
• 2:48
  SPEAKER_00: And then when I breathe out, I'm letting go.
• 2:51
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe of the negative thought pattern or a lie that I have believed or something that I'm holding on to.
• 2:59
  SPEAKER_00: The repetition of a breath prayer as you breathe in and breathe out is a helpful focal point for meditation.
• 3:06
  SPEAKER_00: It also helps calm the mind and you can increase your connection to the love of your Heavenly Father.
• 3:13
  SPEAKER_00: I also prefer to read a brief passage of scripture, and then I use that as my focal point and pray parts of that passage.
• 3:22
  SPEAKER_00: So that's what I'm going to be doing for you today.
• 3:25
  SPEAKER_00: I'm going to start with the passage for the Enneagram 8s.
• 3:28
  SPEAKER_00: I'm going to model the breath prayer and then pause so you can repeat it after me.
• 3:32
  SPEAKER_00: Or you can just soak in the brief silence.
• 3:37
  SPEAKER_00: I bless you, type 8, with the truth found in Colossians 1.11.
• 3:42
  SPEAKER_00: We also pray that you will be strengthened with all his glorious power so you will have all the endurance and patience you need.
