Exploring
Peace
Meditations.
I'll
invite
you
to
take
a
moment
and
release
any
distractions
as
you
settle
into
your
space,
finding
a
seated
or
reclined
posture
in
which
you
can
breathe,
center,
and
be.

Today's
meditation
theme,
Simple
Calling,
comes
from
my
book,
With
God
in
Every
Breath.
Now
that
you've
found
a
moment
to
settle
in,
I'll
invite
you
to
listen
to
this
passage
from
the
message,
Luke
chapter
9,
verses
1
through
5.
It
says,
keep
it
simple.
Jesus
now
called
the
twelve
and
gave
them
authority
and
power
to
deal
with
all
the
demons
and
cure
diseases.
He
commissioned
them
to
preach
the
news
of
God's
kingdom
and
heal
the
sick.
He
said,
Don't
load
yourselves
up
with
equipment.
Keep
it
simple.
You
are
the
equipment.
You
are
the
equipment.
SPEAKER_00

In
this
moment,
I'd
like
to
remind
you
that
you
have
everything
you
need
to
connect
with
the
healing
and
wholeness
that
God
has
gifted
you.
Hear
God
whisper
to
you
today,
you
have
everything
you
need.
You
have
everything
you
need.
And
so
with
this
simple
reminder,
we'll
engage
a
simple
practice.
I'd
invite
you
to
welcome
a
name
for
God
that
feels
encouraging,
comforting.
Maybe
it
is
simply
God,
creator,
healer,
spirit.
Take
a
moment
and
begin
to
breathe
in
that
name
of
God
silently.
Just
on
your
full
inhalation
as
you
breathe
in
through
your
nose,
expanding
the
chest
and
the
belly.
Welcome
that
name
of
God
on
the
inhale.
For
the
next
few
breaths,
just
repeat
that.
Inhaling
a
name
of
God
that
feels
right
today,
a
name
that
you
can
call
upon.
SPEAKER_00
3:30
And
on
your
next
exhale
as
you
breathe
out
through
your
nose
or
mouth.
Allow
the
full
exhalation,
all
the
breath
to
leave
the
body.
And
offer
these
words
to
yourself
as
you
exhale.
I
have
everything
I
need.
It's
as
if
you
are
aware,
affirmed,
known
in
this
moment,
as
if
you
can
remind
yourself
what
God
wants
you
to
know.
I
have
everything
I
need.
Now
let's
put
these
together,
inhaling
your
name
of
God,
and
exhaling
this
reminder
to
yourself.
I
have
everything
I
need.
Inhaling
your
name
of
God.
Repeat
this
a
few
times.
Inhaling
your
name
of
God,
exhaling
this
reminder,
I
have
everything
I
need.
Breathe
in
your
name
as
if
God's
whispering
it
to
you
today.
And
then
exhale,
you
have
everything
you
need
as
if
God
is
speaking
over
you,
reminding
you.
Inhale
your
name.
Exhale,
you
have
everything
you
need.
Repeat
this
practice,
allowing
God
to
speak
over
you
as
if
you're
hearing
God
whisper
your
name
on
the
inhale,
and
you
have
everything
you
need
on
your
exhale.

Healing
God,
help
us
not
overcomplicate
our
journeys
with
you.
Meet
us
in
the
simple
and
miraculous
practice
of
following
you
today
and
knowing
that
what
we
have
is
enough.
Help
us
let
go
of
what
gets
in
the
way.
And
help
us
listen.
Be
breathe.
Help
us
keep
it
simple
and
know
that
you
have
given
us
everything
we
need.
In
your
holy
name
we
pray.
Amen.
Carry
this
reminder
into
your
day,
breathing
fully
and
deeply,
connecting
with
God
and
yourself,
and
remembering
that
you
have
everything
you
need.
Until
next
time,
may
God's
peace
be
with
you.
