836 Worshiping with Fasting and Prayer Night and Day, A Guided Christian Meditation on Luke 2:36-38 with the Recenter With Christ app The purpose of this podcast is to help you find more peace in and connect with the true source of peace, Jesus Christ. Outline: Relaxation, Reading, Meditation, Prayer, Contemplation and Visualization. You can sit comfortably and uninterrupted for about 20 minutes.You should hopefully not be driving or anything tense or unrelaxing. If you feel comfortable to do so, I invite you to close your eyes. Guided Relaxation / Guided Meditation: Breathe and direct your thoughts to connecting with God. Let your stomach be a balloon inflate, deflate. Scripture for Meditation RSV 36 And there was a prophetess, Anna, the daughter of Phan′u-el, of the tribe of Asher; she was of a great age, having lived with her husband seven years from her virginity, 37 and as a widow till she was eighty-four. She did not depart from the temple, worshiping with fasting and prayer night and day. 38 And coming up at that very hour she gave thanks to God, and spoke of him to all who were looking for the redemption of Jerusalem. NAB 36 There was also a prophetess, Anna, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was advanced in years, having lived seven years with her husband after her marriage, 37 and then as a widow until she was eighty-four. She never left the temple, but worshiped night and day with fasting and prayer. 38 And coming forward at that very time, she gave thanks to God and spoke about the child to all who were awaiting the redemption of Jerusalem. Reflection on Scripture: The prophetess, Anna, dedicated her life to God. This scripture outlines her frequency in the temple as well as prayer and fasting. She was where God's presence was represented to be. As a result she was able to see the redemption of God and was able to share it. Catholics and Orthodox Christians hold Anna in reverence as a Saint. It is such an interesting micro story that is shared here. The woman is called a prophetess and it references her father as though we are supposed to know who he is. Or perhaps symbolically because his name means "Face of God" One fact that is hard to deny is that if we spend our time where godly things happen, we are more likely to encounter godly things. If we want to encounter God more in our life we should ponder on going to the places where His presence is represented for example church and making our home a sanctuary to the Lord. I sometimes reflect on the nature of this dedication. Obviously us as fallen and sinful humans don't get to decide where God goes based on what we dedicate to Him. God can choose to go anywhere God wants to go. With that said, when we dedicate places to God and set it apart, such as the Temple, we put ourselves in the kind of mind where we look for and see God more. Perhaps it is because he chooses to bless us with His presence to encourage us to do more of the things that He wants. So the invitation stands for us to dedicate our homes as sanctuaries to God and treat them as such, not making habits of sins that would challenge that dedication. Also spending time with Godly music, and also spending time in community with others in church attendance and worship. Also making prayer and fasting a part of our process of building a relationship with the Lord. Meditation of Prayer: Pray as directed by the Spirit. Dedicate these moments to the patient waiting, when you feel ready ask God for understanding you desire from Him. Meditation of God and His Glory / Hesychasm: I invite you to sit in silence feeling patient for your own faults and trials.

Most people don't fear failure. They fear being seen. After achieving success by every external measure, Erik Rock believed he had “made it.” But when his grandmother passed away, a single realization changed everything: success without purpose is empty. That loss sparked a spiritual awakening that led Erik to step into the light, reveal the truth about his past, and live fully aligned with his calling. Guided by mentors like Ed Mylett, Erik became a voice for resilience and redemption, helping millions reclaim their story and move forward in obedience, not fear. In this episode, Erik joins Emily to unpack why your story holds more power than your fear, how choosing significance over success changes everything, and why your willingness to be seen might be exactly what someone else needs. What You'll Learn: Why fear often intensifies before alignment How hiding parts of your story limits your impact The subtle ways success can distract you from significance What actually shifts when you stop performing and start living with purpose Why truth is the doorway to peace, purpose, and impact Timestamps: (03:39) - Why fear shows up when you're called to more (05:30) - Erik's defining moment with Ed Mylett (11:02) - The transformative impact of sharing your story (13:26) - The struggle to win without purpose (15:10) - Healing and finding inner peace (17:53) - Erik's conversation with his grandmother that changed everything (21:24) - Wresting with the duality of life (22:45) - Why pain is a gift (28:19) - Man on a Mission (35:49) - How truth creates peace (40:59) - Pursuing impossible goals (48:58) - Erik's vision for the future (57:46) - Sneak Peek of the Hero Awards Links and Resources: The Mission Project | https://missionprojectmalibu.com/ Connect with Erik: Website | https://itserikrock.com Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/realerikrock/ Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/erikrocklol YouTube | https://www.youtube.com/@realerikrock TikTok | https://www.tiktok.com/@erikrocklol Man on a Mission Podcast | https://open.spotify.com/show/18PGWV0izSTE7arsxgjq4r More from Emily & FORDIVINE: Website | https://meetemilyford.com Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/itsemily Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/itsemilymethod YouTube | https://www.youtube.com/c/ITSEMILYFORD Called & Crowned Podcast | https://www.instagram.com/calledandcrowned/ FORDIVINE | https://www.fordivine.com/

Links for the Show: Fondazione FS Italiane National Railway Museum Strada dell'Olio DOP Umbria Via di Linari In this episode, Kimberly Holcombe and Tommaso share insights from their friends who recently traveled to Italy during the Christmas holiday. They discuss historical train routes, exciting activities like driving a Ferrari through Tuscany, and adventurous hiking and biking options. Join us in this episode for unique ways to experience Italy beyond the typical tourist paths. Key Points: Christmas in Italy: Venice was less crowded than Rome during the holidays. Italian locals gather in Rome for Christmas, making it more crowded. Venice had crowds during specific events like the Santa Claus gondolier parade. Uber Black in Rome: Friends used Uber Black successfully in Rome, despite previous reliability concerns with standard Uber. Uber Black offers larger, luxury vehicles with professional drivers. Historical Exploration: Friends regretted not researching the history of Italian landmarks before their trip. Tommaso suggests spending ample time before the trip researching historical facts so they are better prepared once there. New Travel Options for 2026: Historical Train Journeys: Italy's historic railways, managed by La Fondazione FS Italiane. Binari Sensa Tempo (Timeless Tracks): Offers dozens of itineraries across the country. The National Railway Museum is in Pietrasara, outside Naples.

The train features Centoporte (100 Doors) carriages from the 1920s to the 1980s. Sommeliers offer tastings of regional wines like Barolos. Olive Mill Trains: Frantoi Aperti (Open Olive Mills) trains run every weekend through mid-November. Organized by Strada dell'Olio DOP Umbria (The Olive Oil Road). Visitors can taste fresh extra virgin olive oil and learn about production. Guided tastings led by professional tasters are available on board. The route runs from Arezzo to other Umbrian towns like Spoleto and Assisi. Promotes mindful travel and reduces carbon emissions. Luxury Driving: Drive a Ferrari through the hills of Tuscany. Prices are around 4,000 euros per day, or 2,000 euros per person for two. Multi-day excursions include high-end hotels. Adventure Hiking: Via Di Linari: An ancient 93-mile trail through medieval monasteries, abbeys, and a national park. The trail snakes through Emilia-Romagna and the Apennine Mountains into Tuscany. Best hiked in spring or fall, taking about nine days to complete. Sections are no more than 12 miles long. The website Camini Emilia Romagna provides detailed itineraries and accommodation options. Monasteri Aperti: Monks open their doors to hikers for hot meals on certain autumn weekends. Biking Expeditions: Flat, scenic rides connecting food capitals like Parma and Bologna to Venice.

Happy Mindful Monday Everyone!In this week's epsiode, our host Allie Brooke sits down with C. Vicki Gold, PT, MA. Vicki Gold is a retired physical therapist who is proud to say she turned 80 in September of '24. Her background was rich in both clinical and academic experiences, including serving as Director of a Physical Therapist Assistant Program in NYC. She also has had extensive experience in a large variety of mind-body approaches to physical and mental well-being, including yoga, tai chi, Pilates, Alexander, and Feldenkrais Techniques. Vicki is a perpetual student of personal growth and transformation, and is a graduate of many trainings through Landmark Worldwide. Vicki and her husband, Tom, relocated from Long Island, NY, to the Foothills of NC, where Vicki completed a book meant to educate, empower, and inspire people to “Age Safely, Wisely, and Well,” which just happens to be the book's title! The title goes on to say that it is “A Movement and Mindset Guide for Older Adults,” however is relevant to adults of all ages. The book comprises many of the tips, tricks, strategies, and skills Vicki gathered over her many years as a therapist and as a woman. It also has several collaborators from specialties like fall-prevention, aging in place, nutrition, etc. Vicki's mission now is to encourage listeners to learn their ABCs to look, feel, and function optimally – at every age!In this epsiode we talk about:The "ABCs" of Optimal Function: Vicki breaks down her signature framework for looking, feeling, and functioning at your best,proving that vitality isn't a matter of age, but a matter of alignment.The Evolution of a Healer: From clinical Physical Therapy in NYC to mind-body mastery (Yoga, Tai Chi, and Pilates); a look at how integrating various modalities creates a holistic path to wellness.Movement + Mindset: The Duo for Longevity: Why a book about aging well required more than just physical exercises, and how our internal dialogue dictates our external physical capabilities.Reimagining 80: Breaking the "Fade Out" Mold: Vicki shares the reality of entering her ninth decade with more purpose and energy than ever, challenging the societal expectations of what "getting older" looks like.The Power of One Word: A deep dive into the specific vocabulary that can instantly shift an adult's motivation, helping them move from a "default" life to one of intentional design.Becoming a Perpetual Student: How Vicki's journey through personal transformation trainings (like Landmark) allowed her to pivot in her 70s and write her book in the foothills of North Carolina.Building Your Aging Village: The importance of collaboration—from nutrition to fall prevention—in creating a sustainable, safe, and joyful legacy.

New year pressure can feel like another thing you're supposed to fix about yourself. This session flips that—it's not about becoming someone else. It's about getting clear on what actually matters to you, and using sound to help your nervous system settle enough to hear yourself think.What this session is:A founder-guided restorative audio session built around four resonant frequencies: C for grounding, A for inspiration, G for expression, and E for personal power. This is longer and more immersive than our standard tracks—it's active, not passive. You'll be invited to reflect, choose an intention, and let the sound help you regulate while you do it. The frequencies support nervous system coherence, which research suggests can help with focus, emotional clarity, and stress recovery. This isn't background noise—it's a practice.Best use moments:When you want to start the year (or month, or week) feeling centered instead of overwhelmedBefore a big decision or life transition when you need mental spaceAfter doomscrolling or social comparison spirals—when you need to reset your internal compassSunday night or Monday morning intention-setting instead of anxiety spiralsAnytime you're tired of performing productivity and want to reconnect with why you're doing any of thisWhen you need to hear yourself again underneath all the noiseHow to listen:Headphones strongly recommended—frequencies work better with stereo immersionFind a spot where you won't be interrupted; sit, lie down, or move gently if that helps you focusYou don't have to meditate perfectly—fidgeting, shifting, note-taking, and pausing are all fineSome people use this once to mark a moment; others return to it weekly or monthly as a check-in ritualIt's an invitation, not homework—use it when it serves youYou're already whole. This session just helps you remember that.Send us a textSupport the show

This is a guided breathwork journey designed to help you release stored emotion, quiet the mind, and reconnect with your body.The practice begins with 15 minutes of conscious, connected breathing, followed by a 15-minute integration meditation. As the breath deepens, the nervous system begins to regulate, the mind softens, and the body is given space to let go of tension, emotion, and old holding patterns.You don't need to force anything. Your only job is to breathe and allow.If your mind tries to pull you out in the first few minutes, that's normal. Stay with it. Once coherence sets in, the breath becomes effortless and the experience opens into a deep, meditative state where real release can happen.This session is best experienced lying down with headphones and an eye mask if you have one.Press play when you're ready to come back into your body.WORK WITH ME

Learn a simple relaxation exercise combined with self-observation and sexual transmutation, whereby one stills the mind, heart, and body, separates from the ego, and transforms creative energy to awaken consciousness.

In 1960s London, for young guitar enthusiasts, believing that “Clapton is God” was practically the 11th Commandment. In 1970 he lent his big, sticky tone to yet another band: Derek and the Dominos. The group's white-hot blues burned bright for barely more than a year, but their impact was massive. Guided by drug, alcohol and heartbreak free-fall, Eric Clapton created one of rock's most recognizable guitar riffs, while drummer Jim Gordon contributed God's great piano coda. Except Gordon was guided by something far more sinister — something that started with incessant voices in his head, and ended with a hammer, a butcher knife, and a dead mother.
