Emma Timms - Embodied Prayer and Faith Habits


Listen Later

In this episode, Lance Peppler sits down with Emma Timms - a spiritual advisor, wellness coach, and movement teacher based on the East Coast of Scotland. Emma shares her journey of moving from traditional, rigid prayer structures to a life of "embodied prayer" and integrated faith.

Whether you are a busy parent struggling to find "quiet time" or someone looking to deepen your connection with the Holy Spirit through movement and journaling, Emma’s down-to-earth approach offers practical, sustainable advice for every season of life.

    • Prayer as Conversation: Emma defines prayer not as a religious duty, but as a two-way, lifelong conversation and relationship with God that evolves over time.

    • The Transition of Motherhood: Emma discusses how becoming a mother forced her to deconstruct her old "quiet time" habits and find new ways to connect with God in the midst of exhaustion and a busy household.

    • Embodied Prayer: Learn how Emma integrates her background in Pilates and restorative movement into her spiritual life. She explains how using our bodies — through posture, breath, and movement — can help settle the mind and make us more present to the Holy Spirit.

    • Leaving Gaps for Listening: In a world of constant digital input (podcasts, music, social media), Emma emphasises the importance of intentionally leaving "gaps" in the day to hear God’s voice.

    • Journaling the Voice of God: Emma shares her practice of journaling her own prayers and then writing down what she senses is God’s response, using scripture and mentorship as a guide for discernment.

    • The US Retreat Miracle: Emma recounts a powerful story of answered prayer regarding a retreat in America that seemed financially and logistically impossible, but was made a reality through a series of unexpected provisions.

Emma Timms is the author of Faith Habits: and how to form them. She is a spiritual advisor and wellness coach who leads The Prayer Orchard, an online community that blends movement with contemplative prayer. She is also an active member of the global monastic order, The Order of the Mustard Seed.
