## Resource

In this meditation, I guide you through a simple practice of Lectio Divina, using a short phrase to deepen awareness and reflection. The line we rest with is: “I have come that you may have life, and have it in all its fullness.” Rather than analysing it, you are invited to receive it slowly, allowing its meaning to unfold within your own experience. We begin by settling into the body and the breath, creating a stable and grounded awareness. From here, the phrase is introduced gently, and you are invited to notice what arises as you hear it. Through repetition and reflection, attention may move between the whole phrase and individual words, particularly the word “life”, noticing the associations, questions or feelings that emerge. As the meditation deepens, awareness returns to the breath, recognising the life that is already present within you in this moment. This practice is not about finding answers, but about allowing the words to resonate, opening a space for reflection, presence and deeper awareness. This meditation offers a moment of calm, whether you are pausing during the day or winding down before sleep, helping you connect with meaning, presence and the fullness of life. This meditation supports reflection, awareness and spiritual connection.
