President David O. McKay once referred to meditation as "one of the most secret, most sacred doors through which we pass into the presence of the Lord." On today's episode, we explore the many ways meditation and mindfulness already play an important role in the gospel of Jesus Christ.
"One of the things I've wondered is if people are not walking away from the Gospel as much as (having) an impoverished experience of the gospel, where the gospel has become sort of like this devices that's not working anymore. And rather than going for an upgrade and getting rid of the device, our hope is that if people could approach the gospel with fresh eyes and experience it as full of opportunities to stop, to pause, to interrupt the busyness, to interrupt the activity, that it might awaken something that has become dead because anything...can die." -Jacob Hess
