The purpose of this study is to identify the process of change through the experience of the Bible-Based Relaxation Therapy (BBRT), which is a method of Christian meditation. This study aims to determine what changes occur when Christian meditation methods are utilized in counseling sessions with Christians. Specifically, the Bible-Based Relaxation Therapy developed by Yang Jung-sun was implemented in group counseling. After five weeks of participation by Christian participants, a qualitative case study was conducted to identify specific experiences and the process of change. To achieve this, the study first demonstrates the differences between Christian meditation and general meditation practices such as mindfulness, highlighting the necessity of Christian meditation. Christian meditation is not about dwelling within oneself but discovering oneself in the relationship with God. The Bible-Based Relaxation Therapy is proposed as a Christian counseling method to be used in counseling sessions. This technique involves deep breathing, short prayers, and the use of Bible verses, utilizing all five senses and engaging thoughts, emotions, and will to meditate on the scripture in a holistic and multi-dimensional way. After the program, in-depth interviews were conducted for raw data. The data were divided into contexts and analyzed within and across cases. Cross-case analysis involved forming sense units, summarized concepts, and categories, which were then arranged into experiences and the process of change. The results of the study are as follows: the experience of the Bible-Based Relaxation Therapy included Breaking and Accepting Prejudices, adapting to breathing, awareness, vivid encounter with God, the Word approaching three-dimensionally, and being filled with the Holy Spirit. The process of change after experiencing the Bible-Based Relaxation Therapy included experiencing freedom and safety, deepening of meditation, healing of wounds, physical healing, changes in daily life, and becoming a wounded healer. Based on the results, discussions and suggestions were made regarding the experiences and the process of change through the Bible-Based Relaxation Therapy. In conclusion, the Bible-Based Relaxation Therapy was familiar to Christians, and unlike general meditation, participants experienced awareness within the relationship with God. It had therapeutic effects on psychological and physical symptoms, fostered growth in living with God in daily life, and helped participants become wounded healers who look towards the Kingdom of God.
