Today's guided meditation creates sacred space for divine nourishment from our Creator. Recline, breathe intentionally, and open yourself to God's sustaining energy from head to toe. 

Drawing inspiration from John 6:27, we explore the difference between temporary satisfaction and lasting spiritual nourishment through a restful practice that engages body, mind, and spirit.

Whitney R. Simpson shares her journey of connecting with God through embodied spirituality after experiencing a stroke at age 31, leading to her discovery that peace is not something received instantly but explored throughout life's journey, in each and every breath! 

Special guest and friend, Katie Hall, hosts this interview episode as we discuss Whitney's latest book release, With God in Every Breath. 

With God in Every Breath: A Guide to Drawing Closer to Jesus through Your Senses.

What if the opportunity to connect with God was as close as your next breath? Many of us yearn for a deeper connection with God but struggle to find the time or space to cultivate it in the midst of our busy lives. The daily stress of meeting familial, work, and personal responsibilities leaves us longing to connect with God and find rest for our souls. We crave intimacy with our Creator and the peace that only God’s presence can give.

With God in Every Breath invites you on a journey towards a more embodied and present spiritual life. In this practical book, Whitney R. Simpson offers carefully crafted guided prayers and meditations that provide an accessible way for us to quiet our hearts and a way to enter into God’s presence that engages all of our senses. Whether used alone or in a community, each meditation is rooted in Gospel passages from The Message translation and designed to meet you in your everyday life.

This helpful guide includes:
Guided Meditations: Explore imaginative and sensory-rich meditations that bring you closer to Jesus.
Reflection Questions: Each Scripture-based meditation is followed by a set of questions to help you engage the content more deeply.
Sensory Cues: To incorporate your whole being into that day's invitation. 
Closing Prayers: Each meditation closes with a guided prayer to encourage you to bring gratitude into each of your reflections.

Let's pause together to rest and breathe in the quiet with God for 15 minutes. Remember that this practice is for your whole self. As Thomas Keating wrote, "Contemplative prayer is not so much the absence of thoughts as detachment from them. It is the opening of mind, body and emotions—our whole being—to God, the Ultimate Mystery, beyond words, thoughts and emotions."

This is one of my favorite prayer practices, the Prayer of Examen, an ancient opportunity to notice God in your life. If you're a journaler, feel free to write as you reflect. Bring to mind your last 24 hours, with a grateful heart, recall the highs and lows of the day and find renewal for tomorrow.

This practice of Centering Prayer is transformational. Pay attention to an ache, pain, or twitch. Welcome what you notice. You only need 10 minutes in silence. Invite God to be with you, to center, to be. Savor the quiet with God.
