Last week I shared about an amazing tool to connect with the Trinity called Encounters.  This week I wanted to share with you my personal testimony this week regarding an Encounter the Lord gave me on my birthday.  

To hear more about what Encounters are, listen to Episode 94.

• Where do I find an Encounter?

Take ten minutes and encounter Jesus through this guided imaginative prayer. 

How to do an Encounter?

Grab a journal.

Put on some headphones. (not necessary but a plus!)

Find a comfortable position.

Close your eyes and breathe deeplyy. 

Now, settle into an encounter with Jesus. 

Imagine sitting next to Jesus during an early morning campfire...

Start your morning off in a space of being seen and known by asking Jesus, "What about me makes you smile?" and "What is your favorite thing to do with me?" 

If you enjoyed this encounter, please scroll through to previous encounters on Wholistic Hearts podcast.

Boundaries affect every area of our life. When we have poor boundaries, it can affect your marriage, parenting, friendships, family dynamics, etc.  

Today on Wholistic Hearts, I am bringing an awesome conversation which was recorded on our Moms in the Middle Talk on my private Facebook group.  We hope you enjoy our conversation and hope to hear from you on our next MITM talk! Be on the lookout on our social media for next LIVE conversation!

Michelle

Michelle is an Alcohol-Free Coach and Host of the Set Free Sisterhood podcast. She helps women ditch the wine witch, stop overdrinking, and get control back! She helps them to remove the alcohol, renew their mindset, and rebuild a life of fulfillment!

She is a Southern girl, born and raised in SC! She has two amazing daughters and a ‘bonus’ son through adoption. She’s been married to her husband for 19 years. She has overcome self-doubt, self-sabotage, broken promises, daily drinking, and feeling stuck in reaction mode for almost a decade. 

Her mission is to help women learn that they have control of their thoughts and actions. She helps them see their value and strength and believe that they can commit to the hard stuff and overcome it. She desires to elevate their awareness around the things they go to when they are stressed, frustrated, angry, uncomfortable, embarrassed, and sometimes even happy. These things keep us small and in captivity. They blur our minds and hearts so that we stay the same. Then they can learn to master their mindset, control their choices, set needed boundaries, and create meaningful relationships with others. They become truly SET FREE.

***Disclaimer- I am not a certified health coach/nor a doctor. Please talk to your doctor or functional health practitioner for personalized care.  

If you came to my house, you would see a cabinet...huge cabinet full of supplements.  We take supplements pretty seriously around here. We’ve walk a long journey of wellness, worked with many wellness practitioners, and did extensive research for fun on my own.

Most of our nutrients, if not all our nutrients should be coming from a Whole Foods based diet.  However, the quality of our food resources/food processing/the amount of pesticides all has depleted God’s natural way of providing us with enough nutrients. 

So let's talk friend to friend. If you were text, email, or call me, and ask me "Kristin, I want to start supplements and I am not sure where to start." Listen in to hear what I would tell you...

Vibrant by Dr. Stacie Stephenson

Out of the moments with Jesus, I share how Jesus doesn't settle for our longings to hide in the crowd. He searches for our hearts and wants to lock eyes with us- even in the hardest trials and sicknesses.  

Do you resonate my friend? 

He sees you. He longs to connect with you on THAT thing that has plagued you for years.  Let him connect with you.  It will all be worth it. You are seen, Beloved Daughter.

The very essence of our life is based on the fact that we breathe. The miraculous ways breath can enter into our lungs and oxygenate our lungs is quite powerful.  The beauty of science is that it eventually backs up the very evidence of a Creator.  In the beginning, God breathed into every living thing.  Without the breath from our Creator, we cease to exist. 

You have heard me say many times on this show how important it is to connect back into your body.  The way we can go about life and not connect with our very bodies is quite remarkable yet it is not connecting to our very essence.

The benefits of breath work is overwhelming, and science backs it up.  Listen today to hear the creative ways we can use our breath to connect back into wellness including breath prayer, deep breathing, meditative breathing, etc.
