Exploring Peace Meditations

Breath prayer is an ancient spiritual practice that can be done anywhere and anytime, connecting our physical breath with our Creator. This practice met Whitney twenty years ago during a personal crisis and it continues to help her slow down, listen, and pay attention to both her body and the world around her today. Pause with this breath prayer to listen for what God longs for you to hear today.

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.
