This podcast shares meditations, nuggets in which to chew, and conversations for Christians wanting to ground and center in their body, mind and soul, connected to a loving God, made ever aware of the light of Christ, and the whispers of the Holy Spirit.

lake meditation by Jon Kabat-Zinn

This meditation is often used in the day retreat which is part of the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) 8wk course. Engage the imagery & felt sense of being one with a basin of water. Notice how life can feel choppy and unsettled on the surface, and there is also a constant stillness beneath the surface you can anchor in as well. This meditation is calming in the moment of practice and can also can be called upon during stressful events to help anchor and ground the body and mind.

Joy by Divine Design
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. ✨

Reflection: Taking the Holy Spirit Seriously
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?”

Reflection on Waiting with Patience
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?

heart meditation: grounding in self compassion
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.

Reflection: leaving church, going where I’m called, honoring where I’m not
On this 12th anniversary of my priest ordination, I find myself leaving church, a place I was never called to in the first place. After a dozen years of going where I haven’t been called, I lean into the risk and vulnerability of going where I do. What does it mean to live into the call upon your life? What does it mean to honor the person God has called you to BE regardless of what you DO? Living an embodied faith requires being honest, wrestling, asking tough questions and calling a spade a spade. What do you yearn to live into that would allow you to more authentically embody your faith?

heart meditation: equanimity
This is a meditation on equanimity. First we’ll ground in body and breath then move to the heart space with intention and compassion. We’ll build on the inherent strength of the heart to broaden awareness of our capacity to weather whatever comes our way in life- whether the storm be outer circumstances or inner emotional waves. Tapping into the wisdom and strength of our hearts can offer grounding and equanimity for our whole being.

Reflections on Clarity
Maya Angelou once said “When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.” Jesus asked his disciples “Who do you say that I am?” We would be wise to ask God this question “Who do you say that I am?” And be intentional about listening, understanding and loving from that deep source of wisdom and truth God has woven within our beings.

The Importance of Wandering
This sermon was preached Sunday, October 30th at The Episcopal Church of The Ascension. It pulls from the wisdom of Laurie Brock’s new book God, Grace & Horses and weaves the story of Jesus’ encounter with Zacchaeus. Not always knowing where we are is actually part of the walk of faith. Whether we’re on trails that lead to somewhere or nowhere, God is here and using all of it for good.
