Lectio Divina Meditation: Be Not Afraid

In this meditation, I guide you through a Lectio Divina practice using the simple and powerful phrase: “Be not afraid.”Lectio Divina, meaning “divine reading,” invites us to listen deeply to a phrase, allowing it to speak to us beyond surface meaning.We begin by settling into the body and the breath, creating a space of stillness and calm. From here, the phrase is introduced gently, and you are invited to receive it with openness.As the meditation deepens, you are guided to allow the words to rest within you, noticing how they resonate and what they awaken.Rather than analysing the phrase, the practice becomes one of presence, allowing the words to soften into stillness, supported by the rhythm of the breath.A quiet sense of trust and steadiness begins to emerge, grounded in the recognition that beneath our experience, there is a deeper foundation of peace and love.This meditation offers a moment of calm, whether you are pausing during the day or winding down before sleep, helping you cultivate peace, trust and freedom from fear.This meditation supports emotional balance, calm and inner resilience.Chapters: 00:00 – Introduction 00:20 – Lectio Divina and the chosen phrase 00:57 – The bell 01:13 – Entering with intention 02:15 – Breathing out tension 03:15 – Introducing the phrase 04:15 – Receiving the words 05:25 – Resting in the phrase 06:35 – The ground of love 07:25 – Hearing “be not afraid” 08:45 – Settling into the breath 09:25 – Letting the words fall into stillness 11:15 – Living without fear 12:15 – Closing bell Hosted on Acast.
