  • Soul Care in Bite Sizes

    We're wondering if, like us, you are in need of some soul care right about now? Living though a two year global pandemic, we've undergone countless challenges. The world in general is feeling pretty fragile, and all the while life is getting 'back to normal'. Are we taking time to recover? Let's consider how we can proactively care for our frailty. Within the hectic schedule of every-day-life, let's try carving out chunks of time to tend to our soul's needs. How can we care for ourselves in "bite size" pieces?

  • Listen to Your Body
    Tuning in and really listening to your body might take time and effort. It might actually take an entire "retraining" of how you interact, inquire, and respond to what your body needs. And that's what we invite you to consider and try-on in this episode. We also lead you through a practice to investigate the insights your bodies may be holding, the wisdom and truth your body may have to reveal. Checkout: Yoga S1 E13

  • Identify Your Season: Wrap Up
    Identify what season you are in in order to participate with the activity of the Spirit within you. 
    This was our tagline, mantra, and reason for creating this four-part series. 
    We hope it's been like a guidebook; hearing the lists of descriptors, mulling over the similarities between nature and the interior, and trying-on a spiritual practice that would most suit your current state of being. 
    We would love to hear what season you feel like you've might been in and your general thoughts on the series: IG - deepbreath54321, FB Deep Breath. Blessing poem by Ted Loder

  • Fall: Identify Your Season
    Autumn is famous for it's beautiful and dynamic colors, which signal change. And since we're talking about the seasons of the soul, we compare times of letting go or moving on to a season of fall within. Do you sense change coming or a need for change? Are the sands of life shifting? Knowing this is "fall" within and naming it as such, can influence your surrender to, and participation with, the activity of the Holy Spirit in you. We offer many spirtual practices to choose from to aid assent to God's inner work. Checkout: The Steady Practice of Gratitude S2 E74; Michelle's watercolor cards www.breathandbe.net/store

  • Summer: Identify Your Season
    Summer is often defined by the qualities of sunlight and warmth. With more daytime, sunshine, and (sometimes) more free-time come opportunities for adventure, play, and fun. Likewise, we experiences these characteristics within when the soul is in summer. When it's summertime internally you may feel more light and free, joyfilled and even childlike. Life in general shifts from heavy and burdensome to light and enjoyable. So, how might you partner with the Spirit in summer? Listen in for several great spiritual practices that complement this season well.

  • Spring: Identify Your Season
    Springtime is a time to plow and plant - in the garden and in the soul. It's a good season for cleaning and decluttering - within the home and within the heart, and possibly the mind too. There's work involved, a laboring to bring forth new life. If you are in a springtime in your soul, we offer you several spiritual practices to try-on in order to participate with the activity of the Spirit within.

  • Winter: Identify Your Season
    There are seasons in nature and in life, and there are seasons we experience within. The soul undergoes what we see reflected in spring, summer, fall, and winter. Sometimes you're flourishing with new life, sometimes your fruitful and reaping a harvest, and sometimes is dark and dormant. We hope these 4 episodes help you identify what season you are in in order to participate with the activity of the Spirit within you. We share clues to find your season and practices that lend themselves to any season you find yourself in. This first episode we discuss winter; how it can look and feel, and what you might do to cooperate with the deep inner work of the Spirit of God. Referenced:
