Meditating on Him in remembrance, Ganika the prostitute was saved; enshrine His Praises within your heart. || 1 || Pause || Meditating on Him in remembrance, Dhroo became immortal, and obtained the state of fearlessness. The Lord and Master removes suffering in this way — why have you forgotten Him? || 1 || As soon as the elephant took to the protective Sanctuary of the Lord, the ocean of mercy, he escaped from the crocodile.

Have you ever heard people talk about meditation? We wonder what sort of picture you have of that. Meditation is often seen as an individual endeavor where you sit quietly and think about things. In Psalm 1, we are encouraged to meditate on the law of God day and night. But, this doesn't mean to simply think about God's law quietly. It actually means to be drawn into action. Our thinking directly affects our actions and therefore the entirety of our lives. How does one go about meditating on God's law, and what's even meant by "God's law?" That's what this conversation is all about. We hope that pondering these words from Psalm 1 will strengthen your faith so that you will be like a fruit-bearing tree planted by streams of water with your leaves nice and strong. As always, we hope you enjoy it! 

To get enlightened you have to cooperate with the process.  So you may have to revamp your diet. And your mental diet.  What thoughts do you feed yourself?  And you may have to work on how you show up in relationships.  Meditating in solitude won't make you a master of relationships.  A yoga master is a master of the world, as well as a master of... — Gurudevi Nirmalananda   Watch Gurudevi's full discourse “Food Affects You" here: https://gurudevi.vhx.tv/products/food-affects-you-5-24-26   #spirituality #meditation #Gurudevi #yogamysticism #svaroopa #meditate #divine #yoga #swaminirmalananda #blissyoga #svaroopayoga #siddhayoga #muktananda #gurudevinirmalananda

Our Spiritual Formation Director, Blake Zimmerman, begins our new teaching series, Summer in the Psalms.

Our devotional today is from Jeremiah. Meditating on this passage not only gives us a lesson in adoration, but informs us of the attributes of the Holy God of the universe.Many look at God as a character in the image of mankind, but stirring passages like Jeremiah 32:16-22 remind us just how majestic He is in His name, in all the earth!“After I had given the deed of purchase to Baruch the son of Neriah, then I prayed to the LORD, saying, 17 ‘Ah Lord GOD! Behold, Thou hast made the heavens and the earth by Thy great power and by Thine outstretched arm! Nothing is too difficult for Thee, 18 who showest lovingkindness to thousands, but repayest the iniquity of fathers into the bosom of their children after them, O great and mighty God. The LORD of hosts is His name; 19 great in counsel and mighty in deed, whose eyes are open to all the ways of the sons of men, giving to everyone according to his ways and according to the fruit of his deeds; 20 who hast set signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, and even to this day both in Israel and among mankind; and Thou hast made a name for Thyself, as at this day. 21 ‘And Thou didst bring Thy people Israel out of the land of Egypt with signs and with wonders, and with a strong hand and with an outstretched arm, and with great terror; 22 and gavest them this land, which Thou didst swear to their forefathers to give them, a land flowing with milk and honey. Jeremiah 32:16-22 Our So What? for today:Take this passage read it over and over, and meditate on the passage, digest it, give the worship some time in your mind. Perhaps you may apply His majesty in your own relationship with Him. apply to your own life.

This sermon centers on the transformative power of meditating on Scripture, drawing from Psalm 119 to illustrate how consistent engagement with God's Word produces delight, stability, direction, and victory in the believer's life. It emphasizes that the Bible is not merely a book to be read but a living, active force that shapes the heart, renews the mind, and equips the believer for spiritual warfare and daily living. The preacher calls the congregation to move beyond passive reading to intentional, reflective meditation—carefully reading, prayerfully reflecting, personally applying, and promptly responding to God's truth—while warning against the distractions of modern life that hinder spiritual focus. Through practical guidance and heartfelt encouragement, the message affirms that sustained meditation on Scripture is the foundation for a life marked by joy, wisdom, and divine empowerment.

June 7, 2026 - Summer of Psalms - "Walking, Standing, Sitting, & Meditating" by Southwest Christian Church

What if the biggest obstacle to your meditation practice is the way you've been taught to do it?In this series, I select my favourite and most insightful moments from previous episodes of the podcast.My guest Earle Birney, a meditation teacher and spiritual guide with over 27 years of experience, reveals the two most common mistakes people make when meditating, and what to do instead. If you have ever sat down to meditate and walked away feeling like you failed, this one is for you.˚VALUABLE RESOURCES:Listen to the full conversation with Earle Birney in episode #466:https://personaldevelopmentmasterypodcast.com/466˚Coaching with Agi: https://personaldevelopmentmasterypodcast.com/mentor˚

Meditating on the Word and character of God is a lifeline in all seasons. In this episode, you'll hear scriptures around the truth of meditating on the Word and character of God. These moments are full of eternal truth paired with testimonies of women who have learned the power and beauty of keeping their mind on Jesus. Sisters in Christ share about seasons of suffering, sitting in rocking chairs with babies, creating in art studios, and even living abroad in areas of conflict. Jesus is near to His daughters in all these places and circumstances, and as you listen we pray that you feel his nearness too.

We want our children to be like a tree planted by streams of water — strong, rooted, and bearing fruit for the sake of others. LINKS:Download How to Pray God's Word for Your ChildrenFollow Everyday Prayers @MillionPrayingMoms A Prayer to be "like a tree" by Nicolet Bell Psalm 1 reminds us that kind of life starts with delight. Delight in the Word. Meditating on it day and night. This summer, we're praying that our children would have a deep desire for God — and that starts with us. Reference: Psalm 1 Prayer: Father, give my children a desire for you. Help them to delight in your word. Show me how to help our family meditate on it day and night. I desire for my children to be planted by streams of water, to be rooted deeply in your word, drawing refreshment from your living waters. Help them not to seek to quench their thirst in the things of this world, but to know you are the only one who satisfies our thirsty souls. Lord, in this new pace of summer, would you help us to pause and to dedicate time to meditate on your word day and night. May it become part of our rhythm as a family. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.

Life can feel heavy. Worry settles into our minds, tension finds its way into our bodies, and burdens quietly accumulate. In this gentle Scripture meditation, Alisa Keeton invites you to intentionally pause and place yourself in a posture of receiving. As you settle into stillness, you'll be encouraged to notice where you're carrying weight, stress, or concern and welcome God into those places. This is a sacred invitation to say, "God, I need You. Come find me." Meditating on Psalm 139:7–12, you'll be reminded that there is nowhere you can go beyond God's loving presence. He surrounds you with His wraparound care, hems you in on every side, and meets you right where you are. As He finds you, He brings peace, lightness, and the reassurance that you do not have to carry life's burdens alone. Come as you are. Bring what hurts. Bring what feels heavy. God's presence is already near. Anchor Scripture "Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence?" — Psalm 139:7–12 How to Use Be Still and Be Loved Find a comfortable, quiet place and press play on this gentle biblical meditation. Allow Alisa Keeton to guide you through Scripture, prayer, and moments of stillness as you rest in God's presence and receive His love. Ready to Go Deeper?

Meditating in the Word of God produces life-giving transformation in us and in our lives. When we realize that the Bible is living, God speaking to us now, It's living impact begins to be seen in us.

Discussion QuestionsSermon Overview Pursue gospel-powered transformation by speaking and singing it to one another.I. The whole church is responsible for keeping the gospel abundantly central     (v. 16a)II. We do this as we speak it to one another variously and wisely (v. 16b)III. A primary way we speak it is our Sunday morning singing (v. 16c) Digging Deeper    The whole church is responsible for keeping the gospel richly central (v. 16a)1. Paul tells the whole church to let the word of Christ "dwell richly" among them. What do you think it would look like on Sunday morning or in Gospel Community to take shared responsibility for keeping the gospel central? What would that require from each of us? 2. Do you have a time and place to get alone with God in his Word on a regular basis? What does that look like for you? 3. Meditating on God's word goes beyond simply reading it, but “chewing” on it, reflecting on it, letting it sink in. How might you grow in this?    4. Sadly, instead of the gospel dwelling richly in us, other rivals can occupy that space in our minds and hearts (e.g. - what we take in from YouTube, cable news, movies, advice from well-meaning friends, etc.). How might we determine (with one another's help) if this is true of us? If it is, what might intentional fighting and guarding against this look like for you? We do this as we speak it to one another variously and wisely. (v. 16b)5. What might it look like for you to more regularly remind those around you of truth from God's Word (and in so doing do what v.16b calls us to do: “teaching …. one another”)?6. Please share an example (with appropriate anonymity) of a time that you admonished a friend or a friend admonished you, and God clearly used it for good. A primary way we speak it is in our Sunday morning singing. (v. 16c)7. What do you think about this idea that one of the ways we teach and admonish one another is through “singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in our hearts to God” as we gather on Sunday mornings?  8. Given this reality (of #7 above), are there ways we might take our responsibility (and joy) of corporate singing more seriously? How so?  9. Gospel-powered transformation happens as we speak and sing the gospel to one another. Think of a fellow believer in your life, who you know is enduring some sort of trial / challenge. What truth do they need to be reminded of?  How might you be a means of grace in their life by reminding them of this truth?  When are you going to do this? Prayer

Meditating on God is one of the ways we pursue God and His Presence expressing our seeking, thirsting, longing, looking, and expecting to see/encounter God's power and glory. And we know, when we seek Him, we will find Him. Biblical meditation includes reciting Scripture aloud, whispering Scripture to oneself, repeating it continually verbally or inwardly, pondering on it, visualizing it in our mind's eye (imagination) and reflecting on how to obey it. It engages the mind, the mouth and the imagination and results in life change or life transformation. We share ways to practice Biblical meditation: 1. Scripture repetition throughout the day, 2. Meditative journaling, 3. Scripture memorization with reflection, 4. Meditating during daily work, 5. Word meditation before sleep. We also share about Communal meditation.

Meditation is often sighted as a great way to relax, reduce stress and help us focus, but it can be difficult for lots of people to do in the traditional sense. However, meditation can be achieved without ever sitting down cross legged and focusing on your breathing. “The whole idea with mindfulness is training your brain, you can do this just as well by being intentionally mindful throughout the day. I don't think there's a right or wrong way, and it's important to do practices that resonate with you.” says Joy Rains, a mindfulness practitioner and author for the Guardian.

Psalm 119 sets the Word of God right onto our heart and life. Join us in this first of four studies into this important passage that teaches us to love and delight in the Word of God! DISCUSSION AND STUDY QUESTIONS: 1.    According to the podcast, what is the overarching theme of Psalm 119? What does this theme call us to?  2.    According to the podcast, how is Psalm 119 arranged? What is each section arranged according to? In the original Hebrew text, what does every verse start with? How is this helpful for us to understand this psalm?  3.    What are the two principles in verse 1? How does this set the tone for the rest of this psalm? 4.    Verse 1 mentions blessings for those who walk according to God's Word. What kinds of blessings have you experienced by walking according to God's Word? Look over verses 5 to 20. How are these blessings listed in these verses? 5.    According to verse 4, what is the origin of God's Word? What does it tell us about why the Lord has given us these instructions? What is the expectation for what we do with them? How did the Podcast explain that Christians can still keep the principle of these words, even if we're no longer under this covenant?  6.    The podcast mentioned that another key principle in this psalm is the necessity of the Lord's grace to enable us to live out these principles. How do verses 4 to 40 teach this principle?  7.    The podcast mentioned that this section also has much to say about "meditation". What is biblical meditation? How does the author model meditation in this psalm?   8.    Clearly the author is devoted to God's Word. Why do you think he is so devoted? In what ways is your devotion similar? Is it different in any area? How might you seek the Lord for a change in attitude towards His Word?  Check out our Bible Study Guide on the Key Chapters of Genesis!

In this special episode, I read a section from my new book, Stuck Not Broken Book Three, on why most people are meditating wrong — and what to do instead. We'll get into:What meditation actually is through a nervous system lensWhy "clearing your mind" misses the point entirely How rejecting the present moment sabotages your practiceWhy quality matters far more than quantityWhat realistic, incremental progress looks like Meditation isn't about forcing your thoughts to stop or sitting still for 30 minutes. It's about connecting with your internal experience of the present moment — whatever it brings.

In today's episode, Steve sits down with John “Jock" Brocas, a former military member who is now an executive mentor and strategic intuitive intelligence advisor to the C-suite. Jock is far from your typical cyber professional, but his experience working with executives gives him a compelling perspective on challenges faced in our industry. Steve and Jock discuss how we can train ourselves to block out the noise and become better at recognizing the real threats to our business, the value of mindfulness and managing stress, and why leaders must see the big picture. Jock also shares his thoughts on deepfakes, from the perspective of a medium. Key Takeaways: Adopting a warrior mindset means blending logic and intuition. Taking a break, even just for a few seconds, is crucial to managing stressful situations. Meditating can help you become better at discerning what matters and what doesn't.  Tune in to hear more about: Discerning the signal from the noise () How leaders can help their teams manage stress, both long-term and in acute situations () Jock's thoughts on deepfakes () Standout Quotes: “Logic and intuition are not separate. And this is the biggest mistake we make. We don't fail in making decisions, especially in the cyber world because of the amount of data we have. We fail at the discernment of maybe that data.” - Jock Brocas “I think it's important as well that looking at a more spiritual outlook to things, not religious in any way, a meditative or a contemplative side of things. And how many security professionals or cybersecurity professionals take time for themselves to actually even breathe in between doing something?” - Jock Brocas “Discernment, even as a cyber professional, is important. So discernment of the self, discernment of the mind, that's important.” - Jock Brocas Read the transcript of this episodeSubscribe to the ISF Podcast wherever you listen to podcastsConnect with us on LinkedIn and TwitterFrom the Information Security Forum, the leading authority on cyber, information security, and risk management.

There's a version of you that has been white-knuckling it for years. Exercising every day. Journaling. Meditating. Doing all the "right" things — and still watching the gap grow between who you are and who you're capable of being. Still can't clean the bathtub. Still can't sit in silence without your brain screaming. Still running on fumes and calling it functioning. For women with ADHD, especially those of us who arrived at diagnosis late, the conversation around medication is loaded. It lives somewhere between shame and surrender, between "I've managed this far" and "I am so tired of managing." Add in the hormonal shift of perimenopause and post-menopause — the neurological freight train nobody warned you about — and suddenly the executive function tools you relied on stop working the way they used to. The nervous system dysregulation gets louder. The time anxiety becomes relentless. The burnout isn't a season anymore. It's a climate. I spent years telling myself I didn't need medication. I had my systems. My yoga practice. My spiritual path. And then something cracked open — not dramatically, just quietly, persistently — and I had to get honest. What happened next surprised me. A few things worth sitting with before you listen: Why the late-diagnosis experience with ADHD medication is different from starting at 25 What nobody tells you about the intersection of post-menopause and ADHD executive function The moment I stopped using "I've made it this far" as a reason   Ready to go deeper?

In this episode of 2 Minute Disciple, host Nick Oyler leads a contemplative devotional through Matthew 6:19–21 — Jesus' piercing question about where your heart has truly settled. Moths, rust, and thieves: everything here is temporary. No matter how carefully you protect or accumulate it, the things of this world were never meant to be your foundation.

Over the years, we've explored nearly every corner of inner work—but what happens when we actually act on the ideas bubbling up beneath the surface? Light Watkins calls this "meditation in action," the bridge between sitting in stillness and moving through the world with purpose.In this episode, Light reflects on the major milestones of his life—from the Daily Dose of Inspiration and the Shine movement to his books, his nomadic lifestyle, and even the decision to change his name. Every one of these shifts began as a quiet spark during meditation that demanded a real-world response. Now, he's sharing the 11 core lessons he learned from eight years of daily writing to help you bridge that same gap.Whether you're sitting on a creative project, a career shift, or a personal transformation, the question remains: Are you acting on what's bubbling up? Using his daily writing practice as a blueprint, Light shows you how to move past the "readiness" myth and turn your internal insights into something real.It's time to stop just thinking about your ideas and start living them.Get my FREE framework here.Send us a text message. We'd love to hear from you!

Welcome to today's Guided Prayer, where we invite you to find a quiet space to still your mind and body.  Guided Prayers are a daily 5–10 minute, intentionally created moment to slow down and meet with God—through scripture, reflection, and honest prayer.It's not a program you attend.It's a pathway you practice.A guided space where people can stop, breathe, and connect with Jesus—every single day.

This week, Thomas sits down with meditation instructors Susanne Ahlendorf and Martin Bruders for a deep exploration of heart-centered meditation, moving beyond the physical heart to uncover its emotional, energetic, and spiritual layers. Discover why your emotional defenses, aka the "guardians of the heart", are an intelligent part of your healing journey, and how vulnerability leads to deeper connection and a more embodied meditation practice.We also explore a path toward entering the “cave of the heart,” which may sound like traveling to a distant and ethereal place, but is actually an awakening to the reality of your authentic self.✨ Watch the video version of this episode on YouTube:
