Living Embodied Faith

This is a 20m meditation breathing with the Spirit. First we allow the Spirit to breathe us, nourishing us. Then we open to the Spirit’s breath nourishing our mind, heart and gut. Last we allow the holy light to be breathed by the Spirit through our whole being.

This meditation guides you through opening to the peace and love within, receiving peace and love from the world, and sharing a deep sense of peace and love with others. We are created, woven together with peace and love and have a beautiful capacity to intentionally share this peace & love with the world around us.

Many of us are searching for more joy in our lives. This reflection explores the natural joy that’s already within us because we are created with joy. The Divine weaves us together with holy joy, peace, love. Joy (along with love & peace) is our birthright. Meditation can assist us in opening to the inherent joy within, assist us in receiving pure joy from the world, integrating that joy with the already with, and sharing joy with the world around us. We are vessels of joy. My hope is that this episode opens you to the reality and wisdom that you are a vessel of joy- able to receive, integrate and share joy. ✨

I hope you’ll enjoy this episode where I interview my friend DeeAnn Dean. She has a big passionate heart for health and wholeness and a deep desire to bring people together in sacred community so they can experience Love in Belonging.

This 9 minute meditation will assist you if you’re wanting work with your nervous system by slowing your breathing down using coherent breathing.

This episode is a double dose of good news. We cover the baptism of Jesus and Jesus calling the disciples to follow him. Jesus’ life offers us many insights into how we can live our lives and ways to understand and appreciate the ways God calls us into loving relationship with him and each other. I’ve been asking the Holy Spirit “How seriously do you want me to take you?” Tune in to hear more and ponder for yourself, “How seriously does the Holy Spirit want me to take Her?”

This meditation is designed to work with restlessness in the middle of the night. We can utilize skills from our meditation and mindfulness practices to enhance our ability to shift from restlessness to restfulness.

This meditation moves through grounding in body and breath then moving into grounding in the heart space. As we experience more groundedness in body, breath and heart, we have greater access to peace. The second half of the meditation utilizes coherent breathing to deepens the sense of grounded peace within our being.

In the season of Advent we’re given the opportunity to intentionally wait with patience. We wait for God to be made manifest in the world. It’s an arduous task- waiting. As human beings we often have a difficult time waiting for anything much less the big things in life like waiting for hope to be made manifest in our lives and the world. This episode breaks open the opportunity to consider how we wait… do we wait with patience and trust that ultimately what we’re waiting for will be made manifest and it will be full of joy and wonder? Or, do we give into the negativity bias of our brains and wait in fear and trepidation?

This is a heart meditation that grounds in body and breath and then drops into the heart space to cultivate self-compassion. Every time we practice drawing the mind back to the present moment, the body, breath, our own hearts, the more we have the opportunity to practice non-judgment and self-compassion. Given our practice in formal meditation, the greater our capacity to practice self compassion in our everyday lives.
