    Resting in Awareness

    Let me just be like that little rock that sits so elegantly and confidently on the banks of the lake. Not fighting or resisting her experience, but letting it all happen just as it is. This is rest. This is true peace.

    Bent but not Broken

    We appreciate the light so much more when it comes after the dark. We appreciate the Spring after the Winter, the sun after the rain, the healing after the wound. Then we get to help walk others through the darkness because we know the way.

    Nurturing Our Little Lights

    My little girl has a bright light within her soul, growing brighter and brighter each day. Who am I to want to stifle this and keep her beaming, beautiful light all to myself? To keep her like a light flicker when it can be a flame?

    Fighting For Peace

    When it comes to trauma and the brain, God has hardwired our bodies for healing and restoration. He wired our nervous system for balance. This can be a very long process, and he enters into it with us.

    It Is Good: A Body Scan Meditation

    As faithful Christians, we are not called to escape from our bodies, or to shame them. Rather, we are called to live in harmony with our bodies and give thanks for this temporary place where our souls may dwell here on earth.
