Know that this breath that flowswithin you is the Spirit of God,
the pneuma, the breath of God,flowing within you from the
moment you were born until youleave this world and enter the

As you experience your breath,feel yourself settling into this
moment.
There's nothing you need doright now.
Just be.

(03:06):

gentle path, a pathway through apeaceful forest.
Imagine the sunlight filtersthrough the trees.
Notice the air is fresh andcrisp against your skin.

You hear the soft rustling ofleaves and the distant song of
birds.
As you're walking, you notice abeautiful clearing ahead where a
small bench sits behind a quietstream.

In your imagination, take a seaton the bench and feel the gentle
warmth of the sun on your face.
This is your sacred space, aplace within you where you can
