  SPEAKER_00: Hello and welcome to the Simply Wholehearted Podcast.
• 0:08
  SPEAKER_00: I'm your host, Amy Wicks, your wholehearted living coach.
• 0:12
  SPEAKER_00: And I'm so glad that you stopped by to spend some time with me.
• 0:16
  SPEAKER_00: Are you curious about the Enneagram?
• 0:18
  SPEAKER_00: Do you want to learn biblical truths?
• 0:20
  SPEAKER_00: And have you wondered if there are life rhythms that will help you thrive?
• 0:24
  SPEAKER_00: Well, friend, then you are in the right place.
• 0:29
  SPEAKER_00: Hey friend, happy Holy Week.
• 0:31
  SPEAKER_00: Now I realize this phrase is fairly nuanced, and yet once you make it to Resurrection Sunday, indeed, this week is a happy thing.
• 0:42
  SPEAKER_00: In fact, Easter is the pinnacle moment and bedrock of our Christian faith.
• 0:48
  SPEAKER_00: But before you make it to Sunday, Monday Thursday is wrought with betrayal.
• 0:54
  SPEAKER_00: Holy Friday is full of loss.
• 0:57
  SPEAKER_00: And Saturday is dark and void of hope.
• 1:01
  SPEAKER_00: I really can't help but think about how the disciples felt that week, and specifically on Saturday, how they woke up to the reality that their faithful friend, trusted leader, and peacemaker had died.
• 1:15
  SPEAKER_00: They didn't know of Sunday's good news.
• 1:19
  SPEAKER_00: So my friend, are you in a season where you're experiencing Thursday's betrayal, Friday's loss, or Saturday's ache?
• 1:28
  SPEAKER_00: You are not alone.
• 1:30
  SPEAKER_00: And this is why I thought I would offer Holy Week Breath Prayers, a scripture reminding each personality type how Christ is the perfect embodiment of your personality, and how you can look to Him, to Christ, to get all of your needs met.
• 1:47
  SPEAKER_00: But before I jump into this, you might be asking, what is a breath prayer?
• 1:54
  SPEAKER_00: A breath prayer is simply an intentionally short and repetitive prayer, which usually consists of just a few words or a brief phrase.
• 2:03
  SPEAKER_00: The brevity allows it to be easily remembered and then repeated.
• 2:08
  SPEAKER_00: It offers a physical calming response along with a spiritual connection with our Creator.
• 2:15
  SPEAKER_00: The unique aspect of a breath prayer is that it's synchronized with your breath.
• 2:20
  SPEAKER_00: You inhale as you silently say or think about one part of the prayer, and then you exhale as you say or consider the other part.
• 2:29
  SPEAKER_00: You receive breathing in, and in breathing out, you're letting go.
• 2:36
  SPEAKER_00: The repetition of the prayer as you breathe in and out can be a focal point for meditation.
• 2:41
  SPEAKER_00: It really does help calm the mind and body, and plus, as I mentioned before, it increases your connection to the love of your Heavenly Father.
• 2:50
  SPEAKER_00: I prefer to do it where I read a brief passage of scripture, and then I use that as my focus point, and then I pray parts of that passage.
• 2:59
  SPEAKER_00: So that's what I'm offering to do with you today.
• 3:03
  SPEAKER_00: Starting with the Enneagram 9s, I'm going to offer a truth statement and then a passage of scripture and then model the breath prayer.
• 3:11
  SPEAKER_00: I'll be pausing afterwards so you can repeat it after me, or you can just soak in the brief moment of silence.
• 3:18
  SPEAKER_00: Type 9.
• 3:20
  SPEAKER_00: I bless you with the truth that Jesus, the powerful peacemaker, came to calm the storms.

  SPEAKER_00: He got up and rebuked the wind and the raging waters.
• 3:33
  SPEAKER_00: The storm subsided and all was calm.
• 3:37
  SPEAKER_00: Breathe in.
• 3:41

  SPEAKER_00: Friend, I'm praying for the hope of Sunday to fill your heart today.
• 10:09
  SPEAKER_00: It is my sincere hope and prayer that these breath prayers minister to you in a powerful way, and not because they're my words or it's my idea, but because they are holy scripture encountering your heart and being spoken over to you today.
• 10:24
  SPEAKER_00: And since this little episode is so brief, I hope you listen whenever you need these breath prayers.
• 10:30
  SPEAKER_00: Also, if you have curiosity about spiritual practices like breath prayers, I would love to invite you into a six-week cohort led by Sarah Cronin, a wholehearted coach.
• 10:42
  SPEAKER_00: It is a cohort, a little small group of with others that is called From Weary to Beloved.

• 11:03
  SPEAKER_00: And of course, she's gone through the whole hearted coaching process.
• 11:07
  SPEAKER_00: And we together have created this content to help you form some rhythms like breath prayers.

  SPEAKER_00: So that way you are less likely to succumb to burnout and repeat the patterns that you might often find yourself repeating.
