A guided 10-minute Christian breathwork and meditation led by two speakers that uses timed breathing rounds (three rounds with breath counts and holds), biblical affirmations, and scripture citations to encourage stillness, surrender, spiritual renewal, and peace in God’s presence. The session alternates paced inhalations/exhalations, breath-holds (up to 90 seconds), recovery breaths, and spoken prompts pairing inhalation with a positive spiritual truth and exhalation with release of a negative emotion or state.
