Have you ever felt the pull of a single word that could shape the course of your year? Join me, Whitney, as we embark on a reflective meditation to discover that guiding word. In the tranquil space of this episode, we transcend beyond mere resolutions and invite a meaningful tradition into our lives. Whether the word finds us or we find it, this practice is a beacon, illuminating our intentions, hopes, and the divine invitations of the new year. Together, we'll learn to inhale the sacred and exhale purpose, connecting our deepest selves to the spiritual journey ahead.

As your guide on this meditative voyage, I'll lead you through finding that perfect posture where peace can reside, focusing on the breath that binds us to life, and selecting a name of God that speaks truth to your heart. It's an experience designed not only for those still seeking their word but also for those who've already embraced theirs. Allow this session to be a sanctuary where your chosen word and God's presence meet in a serene exchange. Remember, this community is a haven for continued growth through practices like online yoga and prayer—paths that we can explore together. May you carry the gift of peace with you until we convene again.

You'll hear these verses as you relax:

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in faith so that you overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 15:13

You who are righteous, rejoice in the LORD and be glad! All you whose hearts are right, sing out in joy! Psalms 32:11 CEB

We have known and have believed the love that God has for us.
God is love, and those who remain in love remain in God and God remains in them.
1 John 4:16 CEB

Ordinary Time is the longest season of the Christian liturgical calendar. Let's pause and  Seek God in this ordinary season.  Let's allow ourselves to linger in the stillness of the present moment, open our hearts, and find God - right here in this moment. 

What does it mean to seek God with our whole hearts in our everyday lives? Let's pause and ask that question together.

What if you could invite peace and tranquility into your morning routine? What if you could begin each day with an awareness of the divine beauty that surrounds you? 

Pause for a time of centering and stillness with Whitney to begin this day. Consider meditating with your eyes open as you gaze out a window or close your eyes and imagine God's beauty around you. Practice welcoming the sweet beauty of God's love to rest upon you, setting the tone for your entire day. Try this meditation daily for one week and ponder if you can more easily notice the beauty in and around you.
