Consider these words from Henri Nouwen, "The careful balance between silence and words, withdrawal and involvement, distance and closeness, solitude and community, forms the basis of the Christian life." 

Let Whitney companion you into silence with God as you take 15 minutes for your soul care to simply practice being quiet as you breathe. 

Whether you start or end your day with 15 minutes in the quiet with God, practice this one often and notice the effects on your whole self - body and spirit.

Note: There are previous episodes for 5 and 10 minutes in the silence with God, if that suits your needs best in this season.

This guided energy meditation invites you to open your hands before God and let go of anything that gets in the way. Sit on the floor or in a chair and let's explore a posture of openness in God's presence.  While this meditation was created for the season of Lent, you can practice it anytime you need a reminder to open your hands before God, connect with your body and breath, and let go.

Find a reclined posture, grab your blanket and an eye covering and find rest and quiet with God. This meditation can be practiced anytime and is also a great transition into a restful evening of sleep. 

“Come to me, all you who are struggling hard and carrying heavy loads, and I will give you rest. Put on my yoke, and learn from me. I’m gentle and humble. And you will find rest for yourselves. My yoke is easy to bear, and my burden is light.” 
Matthew 11:28-30 CEB
