I work as a Hospice Chaplain and having worked as an ICU
chaplain in a busy hospital, my purpose in making this podcast is
to help you find more peace in your life and to be more open to be
changed by the Spirit of God. by using a centuries old form of
Christian Meditation called Lectio Divina. It consists of:
Outline: Relaxation, Reading, Meditation, Prayer, Contemplation,
Visualization
If you enjoy this meditation I ask you to subscribe on Apple
Podcasts or whatever podcast app you prefer. You can find links at

Get into a place where you can sit comfortably and uninterrupted
for 20 minutes. If you feel comfortable to do so, I invite you to
close your eyes.
Guided Relaxation / Guided Meditation:Feel the air come in and out
of your lungs. Don’t force the air in and out of you. If you feel
stressed just think of the God and how he has made himself known to
you and let Him sooth you as you feel calmed. If you have tense
muscles just try and feel the love that God has for you and know
that you are on His earth. You are breathing His air into your
lungs right now. Know that He loves you and suffered for your sins
and he knows you and loves you. On that note we are going to
appreciate 1 thing he has done for us.
Bible verse for meditation:KJV2 And, behold, there was a great
earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and
came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.3 His
countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow:4 And
for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men.5 And
the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know
that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.6 He is not here: for he is
risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.7 And go
quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead;
and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see
him: lo, I have told you.
ESV2 And behold, there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the
Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled back the stone and
sat on it. 3 His appearance was like lightning, and his
clothing white as snow. 4 And for fear of him the guards
trembled and became like dead men. 5 But the angel said to the
women, "Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was
crucified. 6 He is not here, for he has risen, as he said.
Come, see the place where he lay. 7 Then go quickly and tell
his disciples that he has risen from the dead, and behold, he is
going before you to Galilee; there you will see him. See, I have
told you."
