Summary
Harness the God-given life force (breath) to deepen your relationship with Him and return to peace.
Description
I understand that, as Christians, we crave to be in a close relationship with our Saviour; in my own life, meditation continues to play a huge role in this connection - a practice that has evolved over time and alongside the deepning of my faith.
Ultimately our breath is our life force; it is given to us by God and it is not only what keeps us alive physically, but what keeps us grounded to the earth that He made and, equally, in tune with the Holy Spirit that runs through us.
Throughout our 4 weeks together, we will run through a uniquely tailored programme, involving guided Christian meditation and breathing techniques which I will help you to develop; Lectio Divina (for those who are unaware of this - a contemplative reading of the Bible. Don't worry, we won't be rushing through the whole thing! We will be electing scriptures that make sense for you and are aligned with your current experience, without judgement); walking meditations and reflections in the form of journalling (or another creative outlet). An example of a walking meditation would be the following: During a slow, mindful walk, repeat a scripture verse in your mind (e.g., "The Lord is my Shepherd..."). Focus on your surroundings and how God’s creation reflects His glory. This is something that would be tailored to you and your needs, and could either be incorporated into our time together, included in the self-practice element of the course OR especially curated as an additional one-off (and, evidently, more in-depth) session ($60).
We will also be cultivating "rising and resting" rituals that you can incorporate into your morning and evening routines long after the 4 weeks has ended.
Ultimately the goal of our time together is something with which we will work in close relation throughout the duration of the programme and, on a more general level, we will be "working" to cultivate a deeper sense of peace from within, to enable you to feel truly closer to God both within your Spirit and within the context of the world in which you are living and the life that you have created for yourself.
