The Cosmic We with Barbara Holmes and Donny Bryant

Contemplation

Listen Later

Do you have a time-tested contemplative practice for moments of crisis?  

In this episode, Dr. Barbara Holmes and Dr. Donald Bryant offer us this thought: “When crisis has you in its grip, contemplation offers the ability to stop striving. It allows you the space to grieve your losses and then let go. It lets you know that it is okay to withdraw from ordinary pursuits for a while and let the Spirit lead.”  

This episode is based on second chapter of Crisis Contemplation: Contemplation.
