Sunshine and light boosts our mood and aids in healing our bodies and minds. No wonder God uses Light to describe his presence. In this practice we allow the Light of God to fill our bodies and minds, allowing us the space and moment to remember all that God's love with us and within us gives. May you practice, trust and forever be reminded of how much God loves and fills each of us with Love, power, and Life. Grace, Peace & namaste friends. Thanks so much for listening. I truly pray and desire that God uses these to draw you to Christ.

Trust can be hard. Especially trusting that everything is ok, we are ok, God is on our side when life feels overwhelming, or our physical body is anxious and our minds racing. This practice I hope is one that helps your heart, mind, body and spirit learn to trust even in those moments. I hope it's one you can remember when the feelings and thoughts arise again and again. This can be done. Your heart and mind and spirit can grow to trust, to quiet and comfort all that arises, to allow the mind and body to be as it is and to breathe with new declarations that rewire you toward living from your deeper space. Grace, Peace & Namaste. Thanks so much for listening! You matter. I hope this practice and all of the others continue to help in little and big ways through God's work.

Today we get back to the basics - breathing with intention and truth. This allows our brains to rewire, integrating our minds, hearts and bodies as once. It gives space for anxiety to be released, shame to be let go of. In time, with practice, breathing in and out that we are loved has the potential to change our lives and experiences of them for the better. May you feel loved in this moment and trust your truth that you are worthy of love and belonging exactly as you are. Grace, peace & Namaste.

It can be hard to wade through life always caught in anxiety, pain, fear, and overwhelming circumstances or emotions. One of the gifts of meditation and mindfulness is it can rewire our brains out of habitual anxiety or distress and into new ways of being - remaining more grounded, more able to find ease while pain is even present or thoughts come that are hard to break. I truly hope and pray with practice, you can find more ease, hope, safety and compassionate courage to face every moment of your lives, exactly as they are. Grace, Peace & Namaste.

Giving ourselves a moment to breathe and fully bring to mind the rest, grounded feeling, openness or whatever we love from a time of vacation or a long weekend we are more readily able to bring that same feeling into our day to day lives. Stress will come. We are human. But if we practice the rest we long for, we are more able to find that same experience in our every day lives. May this practice help us all bring a little more vacation, sabbath and rest into our heart spaces always. Grace, Peace & Namaste.

Our thoughts and our feelings are always passing. There's also this deeper, continual, beyond part of us that always remains, that is always steady, always us. Emotional clarity is a gift, but it comes with practice. Anytime you feel overwhelmed or caught up in emotion, take a moment to pause, notice and remember from that deeper truer space within steady and grounded in God's loving presence. Thanks for listening and caring for your soul. Grace & peace & Namaste.

Mindfulness and the way we are wired reveals that if we take moments out of our days to practices envisioning and embodying the traits we desire to have more of in life, we actually can cultivate more of them. This one we take a moment to pause. To bring to mind and into our muscle what Love feels like, what being loved feels like, what being loving feels like. Soak it in. And may you begin to bring it to heart and mind a little more readily with each and every practice. Grace & peace. Thank you so much for listening.

We are and will be loved forever. Before we were taught any different, that's our truth. May we take a moment, as often as we need, to pause, to loosen what gets tight, and remember we are OK. We can rest in the trust and truth that no matter what, we are and will forever be loved. Grace, Peace & Namaste.

We can get caught in the spiral of needing to get so much done we forget that we will be OK even when we don't. We all need balance in life. Moments to breathe. We need to remember that no matter what we get done or don't get done, God will still love us, still carry us through. Life will go on, good will come out of everything, and we will never loose our first truth - that we are loved. Always. Grace, Peace & Namaste.

This meditation has been changing my life lately. After listening to a Steve Wiens podcast episode where he talks about a practice of starting each morning with 10 mins breathing into the phrase "My abba loves me" I have been breathing my own phrase daily. Breathing in "My God" breathing out "loves me". And it has been changing me. This week, when tension arises in your life, may you breathe and may you remember your God loves you. You are loved. Here's the link to Steve Wien's podcast episode: https://stevewiens.com/2018/02/01/this-good-word-episode-132-permission-shownotes/ Grace & Peace friends.

Let's take a moment to dwell in some truths we already know from scripture but often don't go about our lives feeling/sensing/experiencing. In time, with practice, this can deepen your physical feelings of trusting the truths that you are wonderfully made and loved by God. Always. Namaste.

Sometimes all we need is to stop, to get ourselves out of our moment, out of our swirling thoughts or feelings, and rest, reminding our souls that the world will be cared for even if we let go and allow ourselves to rest. May this bring greater peace, clarity, and lightness back into the moments we are all in. Grace & Peace friends.

Simply by practicing dwelling in a safe, calm place and in God's presence, hearing God speak new truths over us, our brains can rewire in time to feel safer in the world, to actually trust the God we believe in, and to even redefine the truths about how deeply worthy and loved we are no matter what. Grace & Peace friends. This technique and the brain science behind it I learned from Curt Thompson's transformational book Anatomy of the Soul: https://www.amazon.com/Anatomy-Soul-Connections-Neuroscience-Relationships/dp/141433415X

Learning to scan our muscles and see where we are holding tension while also allowing our minds moments of quiet helps us build calm into our every day lives as well as opens us up to trusting the Love of God around and within us.
