from Firmly Planted | Restore Peace through Biblical Meditation & Yoga as a Midlife Mom · host Laurie Hugdahl - Christian Yoga Teacher, Holistic Health Coach
So much of our stress comes from trying to hold everything together - outcomes, expectations, and worries that feel too heavy to carry alone. In this gentle breath prayer practice, you’ll be guided through slow breathing and short Scripture-based prayers designed to help you release control and rest in God’s care. Rather than striving or effort, this episode invites you to soften your grip and practice trust, one breath at a time. This meditation is especially supportive during moments of overwhelm, decision-making, or mental fatigue. You can listen while seated, resting, or even during a quiet walk, and return to it anytime you feel the need to let go and be steadied by peace.
