“Teach me, God, to Wonder, teach me, God, to see...”  The opening words to a hymn by Walter Faquharson reflect the longing of someone to experience the beauty of God's creation.  In the midst of such beauty, many find peace and rest for their soul. In this episode of Awaken to God's Presence, host Robin Linkhart invites listeners to imagine their favorite outside space where their soul feels completely at home... where they belong. Take a few minutes to rest as you join Robin for a moment of reflection and guided meditation that will leave you feeling renewed and ready for what lies ahead.  Listen to other episodes in the Awaken to God's Presence series. Download the transcript. Thanks for listening to Faith Unfiltered!Follow us on Facebook and Instagram!Intro and Outro music used with permission: “For Everyone Born,” Community of Christ Sings #285.

Spiritually exhausted? Therapist Faith Freed reveals why your spiritual practice might be the problem, and how to build one that actually fits your real life. What if the reason your spiritual life feels like a second job is because you've been following someone else's job description? In this episode of The Skeptic Metaphysicians, Will and Karen sit down with Faith Freed, licensed psychotherapist, spiritual guide, and author of DIY Spirituality: Chart Your Own Sacred Path, to explore one of the most overlooked causes of spiritual burnout: doing it wrong for you, not doing it wrong in general. Faith spent nearly two decades in clinical practice, trained at the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology in Palo Alto, and has seen firsthand what happens when people treat their spiritual growth like a performance review. Spoiler: it doesn't end in enlightenment. It ends in a meditation cushion being used as a footrest. What you'll hear in this episode: Will opens up about something he's never discussed on the show before. after years of daily meditation, breathwork, sound baths, energy healings, and spiritual retreats, he still doesn't feel "further forward." Faith's response reframes the entire conversation: the goal was never a destination. It was always just a practice of touching in. Faith introduces her Divine Disco Ball framework, a four-part map of spiritual connection built around body and mind, soul and spirit, infinite source, and the natural world. The framework isn't diagnostic or prescriptive. it's a navigation tool. When one quadrant feels heavy or overworked, you simply rotate to another. Will also has a live breakthrough moment on air. connecting a spontaneous mystical experience he had years ago in the Atlanta airport to a pattern Faith identifies in real time: being alone in a crowd might actually be his spiritual sweet spot. It's one of those genuine, unscripted moments that makes this episode worth the full listen. Key topics covered:Why spiritual exhaustion is more common than spiritual failure, and how to tell the differenceThe "spiritual playlist" concept. keeping what lights you up, releasing what you force out of obligationWhy micro-rituals (as short as 60 seconds) can be more sustainable than elaborate daily practicesThe difference between spiritual presence and spiritual distraction, and how your intuition already knows which is whichWhat "authentic spirituality" actually means when the word has been flattened by wellness cultureHow a phone fast, a solo trip to an amusement park, or simply watching rain can be a legitimate spiritual practiceWhy Faith believes you don't have to do anything at all. and why that's both liberating and surprisingly hardAbout Faith Freed: Faith Freed is a licensed psychotherapist, spiritual guide, and the founder of Freed-Om. She holds a master's degree in clinical psychology from the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology and has nearly two decades of clinical experience. Her newest book, DIY Spirituality: Chart Your Own Sacred Path (Collective Book Studio, 2026), offers an illustrated, accessible guide to building a personal spiritual practice outside of rigid religious or wellness frameworks.

By 2000, he had established his own Reiki school in Geneva and in 2010, co-founded the SwissReiki association. He was a co-founder of the European Reiki Group (ERG), which was originally launched as a collaborative website in 2016 and has since grown into a vital network for the European Reiki community.His current work focuses on two key pillars: The first one, education based on the disciplined, structured framework of traditional Zen practices.The second: pioneering scientific research to champion evidence-based 'energy medicine'. He played a pivotal role in helping Stephan Stadelmann create the world's first Reiki scientific database and establish the World Reiki Research (WRR) organisation. Francis is currently investigating the fundamental mechanisms of Reiki through the lens of quantum physics. By combining spiritual wisdom with cutting-edge physics, he aims to establish a sophisticated, measurable new paradigm for Reiki in the modern scientific era.You can contact Francis on his website.Nathalie Jaspar, the founder of Dive Into Reiki,  is a Reiki master with over a decade of experience. She's a graduate teacher from the International House of Reiki, led by world-renowned Reiki master Frans Stiene.

What yoga teaches us about devotion, discipline, and returning to ourselves through daily practice.What does it really mean to have a spiritual practice?In yoga philosophy, the word sadhana refers to a dedicated spiritual practice — the daily, repeated devotion of returning to yourself, your truth, and something greater than you.But sadhana does not have to be complicated. It does not have to look like a perfect morning routine, an hour-long meditation, or a daily yoga practice on the mat.Sadhana is less about performance and more about relationship.It is the practice of showing up again and again.It is how we remember who we are beneath the noise, roles, expectations, distractions, and patterns that pull us away from ourselves.In this episode of The Midlife Purpose Project, we explore why sadhana matters, especially in midlife. This is a season when many women begin to question who they are, what matters, what no longer fits, and how they want to live the next chapter of their lives.Sadhana gives us a way to listen inward.It helps us slow down, reconnect with the body, observe the mind, build self-trust, and live with more peace, clarity, purpose, and inner alignment.This episode is also a reminder that yoga is not confined to the mat.Yoga is a living practice.It is how we think, speak, act, choose, respond, and return.Your sadhana may include meditation, breathwork, prayer, journaling, mantra, movement, silence, time in nature, or simply a few intentional breaths before beginning your day.The form matters less than the devotion behind it.Sadhana is the practice that keeps bringing you home.In This Episode, We ExploreWhat sadhana means in yoga philosophyWhy daily spiritual practice mattersHow sadhana helps us come home to ourselvesWhy yoga is more than movement or something we do on a matHow practice helps us listen inward and reconnect with inner wisdomWhy sadhana is not about perfection, performance, or rigid disciplineHow small daily practices can build self-trustWhy midlife is a powerful time to create or return to spiritual practiceHow breathwork, meditation, journaling, prayer, mantra, and movement can become sadhanaWhy returning again and again is the real practiceReflection Questions From This EpisodeWhat helps me feel connected to myself?What helps me remember what matters?What practices bring me back to my body, breath, and heart?Where am I making spiritual practice too complicated?What would a simple, sustainable sadhana look like in this season of life?What am I devoted to becoming, remembering, or returning to?How can I bring yoga into the way I live, not just what I do on the mat?Simple Sadhana PracticeChoose one small practice you can return to daily.It might be three conscious breaths.A hand on your heart.A short meditation.A few lines of journaling.A prayer.A mantra.A walk outside.A moment of silence before you reach for your phone.Let it be simple enough that you can actually return to it.The power of sadhana is not in doing something perfectly.The power is in returning.Again and again.164: Balance Is a Myth: What Yoga Teaches Us About Wobbling Through LifeAbout Katie FarinasKatie Farinas is a midlife coach, yoga teacher, and spiritual guide who helps women navigate midlife with clarity, peace, purpose, and empowerment.

Bone Symphony—Poetry as Spiritual Practice: A Conversation with Michelle Phương Hồ Daniel and Yulee welcome Michelle Phương Hồ—a Vietnamese American poet based in New Haven and one of Daniel's former students at Fuller — for a conversation about her debut poetry collection, Bone Symphony (releasing October 13th, endorsed by Ocean Vuong). The conversation explores: How the book's title emerged from a single cacophonous poem weaving together her grandfather's experience in postwar Vietnamese reeducation camps, asylum testimony, and questions of public memory—and its resonance with Ezekiel's Valley of Dry Bones Why revision, for Michelle, is a spiritual practice—including the story of a poem addressed to "the enemy" that only became true once she recognized her own desire to win, rather than to love Her unconventional path into poetry: from a college Asian American writing collective, to narrative breaking down into fragments, to a formative writing class with poet Solmaz Sharif Why she believes she's writing to preserve a kind of remembering—drawing on a story about Vietnamese language surviving Chinese colonization through "a critical mass of rememberers" The necessity of leaving gaps in language—and why trying to fully explain grief or wonder can betray the experience itself Her unexpected, dramatic conversion story at a college church service in New Haven, after a season of spiritual searching that included a Buddhist meditation practice Navigating faith within a predominantly white Vineyard community—finding theological resonance in the integration of word and spirit, while wrestling with not fully belonging The poem "After Salvation" and the disorientation of being "rescued"—both as a refugee and as a Christian—without a clear roadmap for what comes next Writing prompts to borrow for your own journaling: Alexander Chee's "What don't you want to know?" and Bhanu Kapil's "Who is responsible for the suffering of your mother?" A reflective, generous conversation about poetry as a spiritual practice—and an invitation to anyone (poet or not) to bring more curiosity and surrender to their own writing and prayer life.

Self-trust sounds simple. Until you actually try to do it.In this episode, Therese Tucker gets personally honest about one of the greatest teachers in her own spiritual life and shares what she has learned after years of looking outside herself for certainty, permission, and the reassurance that everything was going to be okay.This conversation explores what self-trust actually is (and what it is not), the difference between a conditioned nervous system response and genuine coherence, and why regulation has become such a foundational part of Therese's spiritual practice. It also addresses the question that stops so many people in their tracks: what if I trust myself and I am wrong?Drawing on the Law of One's teaching on the veil of forgetting and a beloved quote from her late teacher Hal Ryder, Therese makes the case that self-trust is not about being perfect it is about refusing to abandon yourself when things do not go according to plan.✨ This episode is an invitation to stop outsourcing your trust — and to begin building the most important relationship you will ever have.✨ Continue your spiritual journey with Therese Tucker:

Send us Fan MailThis is from the book titled: Idea and Ideology. There are 11 chapters to the book, and this is the reading of the 6th chapter titled - Atman, Paramatman and Sadhana. In this discourse, "Ātman, Paramātman and Sādhana" (1959), Baba explains the relationship between the individual self, Cosmic Consciousness, and the purpose of spiritual practice. He describes creation as a journey from subtle consciousness into matter and then back again toward its divine source. Human life represents a unique stage in this return journey because only human beings can consciously accelerate their spiritual evolution through sādhana. Baba also challenges the traditional doctrine of divine incarnations, arguing that spiritual greatness comes through gradual evolution rather than a miraculous descent of God into human form. The discourse concludes with the Tantric concept of Tāraka Brahma and emphasizes that the highest goal of spiritual life is complete surrender to the Supreme Consciousness through love and devotion. Support the show

My guest today is a serious scientist. Dr. Neil Theise is a pathologist and stem cell researcher whose work has been featured in Nature, Science, and Cell. He's also a Zen practitioner. For decades, he kept those worlds separate—until his own body forced them together. But what really got me? His 82-year-old mother. She had dementia, talked to dead people, traveled out of body, and described space and time as "chopped into pieces." Her Parkinson's disappeared. Her blood pressure normalized. She called it the happiest time of her life. Neil wrote Notes on Complexity to lay the groundwork. His next book, Sarah in the In-Between, is the one he really wanted to write.

As trial attorneys, you spend your days carrying other people's burdens. But who's taking care of you, Friend? In this week's podcast, I share the daily spiritual practice that helped me recover from burnout, process secondary trauma, and show up as a better coach, husband, and human.

In this episode, I cover: Why burnout happens even when you love what you do How breathing, affirmations, and gratitude help reset your nervous system Why putting your oxygen mask on first makes you a better trial attorney You don't need an hour. Just a few intentional minutes each day can make all the difference.

Evangelism is often associated with fear, pressure, or obligation, but what if it was never meant to be that way? This week, we'll look at Jesus' encounter with the Samaritan woman in John 4 and discover that the most effective evangelism flows from a life deeply rooted in relationship with Him. As we drink from the Living Water, God's love naturally overflows into the lives of others. Together, we'll explore how prayer, intimacy with Christ, and the other spiritual practices shape us into people who faithfully share the hope of the gospel—not out of obligation, but out of overflow.

Episode OverviewIn this conversation, Amy sits down with Lee to explore the role of daily practice—sādhana—as a living, evolving process rather than a fixed routine.Together, they reflect on what it means to cultivate steadiness in the mind, nervous system, and heart, and how consistent practice becomes a pathway toward deeper self-understanding, inner guidance, and connection to something greater than oneself.The discussion moves beyond technique and into lived experience—how practice shapes perception, builds trust, and gradually shifts one's relationship to stress, identity, and life decisions. Key Themes ExploredSādhana as a Living Practice Rather than a checklist or obligation, sādhana is described as something that evolves over time—from structured daily sessions to an ongoing state of awareness woven throughout the day.From Effort to Integration Lee shares how practice can begin as something we do and gradually become something we are—an orientation toward presence, clarity, and responsiveness in daily life.Stability Through Routine Both Amy and Lee reflect on how consistent routines support nervous system regulation, especially in contrast to the disruption that comes with travel and constant change.The Role of Direct Experience Sustained practice is not maintained through discipline alone, but through experience. When individuals feel the shift—greater calm, clarity, or ease—they naturally return to practice.Witnessing vs. Identifying A central shift in practice is the movement from being immersed in thoughts and emotions to observing them. This creates space for discernment and choice.Inner Guidance and Trust Lee describes a deepening relationship with an internal “voice” or guidance system that develops through consistent practice. Trust is built gradually, through experience rather than belief.Different Pathways of Awareness The conversation acknowledges that inner guidance can arise in different ways—auditory, somatic, intuitive, or visual—depending on the individual.Spiritual Practice and Health Outcomes The episode highlights emerging research showing that spirituality and consistent inner practice are associated with improved physical, mental, and social health outcomes.Education and Responsibility in Yoga Therapy A key tension explored is whether sādhana should be optional or foundational within yoga therapy training. The conversation points toward a shared responsibility among educators to model and transmit its value.Therapist Presence as Intervention The qualities of the therapist—presence, compassion, equanimity, and self-awareness—are described as central to client outcomes, often more influential than specific techniques.Notable ReflectionsDaily practice can begin with structure, but over time becomes integrated into how we live and relate to each moment. The shift from “What do I want?” to “What is being asked of me?” reflects a deepening of trust and perspective. Even brief practices—such as 5–10 minutes of meditation—can create measurable physiological and emotional shifts. We cannot guide others beyond our own level of awareness; our personal practice directly shapes our clinical impact. Practical TakeawaysBegin with what is accessible: even short, consistent practices can create meaningful change.Anchor practice to a consistent time and place when possible to support continuity.Notice the effects of practice—not just during, but in how you relate to others and your environment.Allow your practice to evolve rather than holding it to a fixed structure.Approach sādhana as a lifelong relationship, not a temporary intervention.Closing ReflectionThis episode invites a quiet reconsideration of what it means to practice.Rather than striving for the “right” method or perfect routine, the conversation points toward something more steady: a willingness to return, to listen, and to stay in relationship with oneself over time.From that place, both clarity and direction begin to emerge.Learn More About LeeLee is the founding director of Yoga for Health Institute, where she leads therapeutic yoga programs, professional trainings, and international retreats.Her work includes long-standing student communities and specialized offerings such as the Beyond Cancer retreat program, supporting individuals in navigating health challenges through consistent practice and inner development.You can learn more about her work here: www.yogaforhealth.instituteContact Amy Wheeler:www.TheOptimalState.com 

There is no shame in being thankful for one's blessings, especially as they relate to one's country of origin or residence...as long as the gratitude is grounded in an understanding that God doesn't favor any one nation over another. After all, God is God of all the nations. It's important to remember that people everywhere are God's children ... all of whom have common hopes and dreams.

This class was originally taught by Julie Jancius in 2020 as part of the Angel Membership Program. Hello, beautiful souls! Welcome back to the Angels & Awakening Podcast. I'm your host and author, Julie Jancius. Friends, this is one of the original Angel Membership teachings — and it is packed. We are going deeper into oneness today. How to hold it while you're talking to other people. How to use it to hear your angels in real time. How to build a spiritual practice that actually sticks. And one of the most powerful tools I have ever taught — I am statements.

In ancient times, hospitality was regarded as a pillar on which the world's moral structure rested. It is an important theme in scripture, central to the gospel story. In the New Testament, we encounter Jesus as a vulnerable guest, a needy stranger, and a gracious host. The teachings of Jesus enrich and challenge our modern definitions of hospitality, inviting us to see it as a spiritual practice. www.TheLoftLA.org  

On this special 4th of July "Space for God," Jeff Lindeman guides us through a time of intercession for our country. In a cultural moment when we are confronted by aggressive appeals to be either uncritically optimistic or pervasively pessimistic about America, Christians have a unique opportunity to inhabit a middle way—praying for the real good in our country to flourish while also confessing and repenting of our country's unique patterns of sin and brokenness. We hope you are blessed by this time!Jeff drew upon two resources for this devotional: "How to Pray for Our Country" (developed by Cru)The Book of Common PrayerView Our Complete Archive of “Space for God” Prayer PracticesExplore Our "Christian Discipleship & American Politics" CollectionLearn More About Spiritual Direction through Coracleinthecoracle.org  |  @inthecoracleSupport the showFor the Journey is a resource of the Coracle Center of Formation for Action and is made possible through the generous support of men and women across the globe.

Someone can write a big check, but if they're doing it to get their name on a plaque, it doesn't have the same karmic impact as a humble person giving what they can without any hope of recognition or any ego.” –Phil GoldbergSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
