In a season of Stillness, but I'm still here. ❤️‍

St. Isaac's words reveal that communion with God requires remoteness from distraction and a renunciation of whatever disquiets the heart. This is not something reserved for monks alone, though they live it most radically, but it is a law of the Christian life as a whole. For Isaac, the fruits of renunciation are not abstract but very real: tears, compunction, a fountain of sweetness welling up from the heart, light dawning within. These are given not to the distracted soul but to the one who bows like a convict before the Cross, empty-handed and intent upon nothing else. Renunciation is not simply turning away from sin but from every movement that agitates the mind. He calls it a kind of death, both of the outer man in worldly deeds and occupations, and of the inner man in thoughts, passions, and self-will. It is this dying that makes room for the Spirit to raise one into true life. For the monk, this call is lived in visible and total form: silence, enclosure, vigils, fasting, the cutting away of unnecessary speech and activity. Leaving behind the noise of the world, the monk learns to dwell continually before God. For them Isaac's words are direct and literal, for one cannot hold onto worldly cares and at the same time enter into the madness of divine love. Stillness is the path by which grace rushes into the heart. For those living in the world, this teaching does not mean the rejection of responsibilities, but rather the careful discernment of what is indispensable and what is merely disquieting. Isaac himself acknowledges that not all can practice stillness in its fullness, but warns that one should not abandon the path altogether. Instead, there are ways of living the same spirit in daily life: simplicity, which renounces excess possessions, amusements, and chatter that scatter the heart; sobriety of senses, which guards against overindulgence and constant stimulation; interior watchfulness, which makes room for compunction and prayer in the ordinary rhythms of the day; trust in God's providence, which loosens the grip of anxiety over outcomes. For the layperson, renunciation looks like choosing silence over noise, prayer over distraction, mercy over greed, humility over self-exaltation. In these small dyings the heart is opened to the same fountain of sweetness, even if not in the same intensity as in the solitary monk. Isaac reminds us that whoever does not voluntarily withdraw from the causes of the passions will be carried away by them in the end. Whether monk or layperson, if the heart is constantly fed on the world's noise, possessions, and anxieties, it will inevitably be drawn off course. But if one begins to renounce even in small ways, the Spirit quickly comes to give aid, comforting the soul and granting grace. The lesson is clear: every Christian is called to some measure of renunciation, not as loss, but as the doorway to joy and divine consolation. The monk may live it to the depths, but each person in Christ is summoned to taste it in their own measure. --- Text of chat during the group: 00:14:30 jonathan: started trying practising paustinia every Wednesday and Friday.

Have you ever noticed that even when your body is still, your mind is still racing? Worry, distractions, and endless to-do lists often crowd out the quiet we long for—and can make prayer feel impossible.  But what if there was a way to experience both peace in your mind and presence in prayer? In this episode, author Jennifer Tucker invites us into the practice of meditation—Christian meditation where you focus on God's Word, become attentive to His presence, and renew your mind by filling your thoughts with His truth.  Not only does Jennifer share the physical, mental, and spiritual benefits of meditation, but she'll also set you up with a simple, practical framework to get started. Plus, she'll help you recognize how to know if you're truly hearing from God as you listen for His voice through prayer. My friend, if you've ever struggled to still your mind—or if prayer feels more like a duty than a delight—this conversation will encourage and equip you. You'll come away with the first steps to cultivate a more purposeful, peaceful prayer life, and with it, deeper intimacy with God.

Sermon Summary – Behind the Veil Part six of a prayer journey series. Focus: moving through each stage of prayer (modeled by tabernacle furniture) to reach the manifest presence of God behind the veil. Tied to the season of the Days of Awe and the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur). The Prayer Journey Thanksgiving (Entering the Gate) Acknowledge dependence on God. Gratitude for daily blessings builds humility and faith. Praise (The Courts) Praise God for His works in Scripture and in personal life. Strengthens confidence before making requests. Brazen Altar (Repentance) Clearing sin and disobedience—both actions committed and duties left undone. Laver (Speaking the Word) Affirming our position in Christ despite our condition. Candlestick (Holy Spirit Illumination) Welcoming the Spirit to renew the mind and guide prayer. Table of Showbread (Truth-telling with God) “Cup of coffee with God”: being fully honest—joys, anger, questions. Example: hard prayer for a loved one to be broken so they might return to God (like the prodigal son). Altar of Incense (Petition) Prayers rise as incense before God (Psalm 141, Revelation 8). Spirit-led petitions avoid selfish, flesh-driven requests. Behind the Veil (The Ark / Manifest Presence) Goal of prayer: intimacy with God, listening more than speaking. Jesus tore the veil, granting direct access—not just distant recognition but true fellowship. Lessons & Applications Manifest vs. Omnipresence: God is everywhere, but He desires to manifest Himself personally to His children. Prayer as Relationship: not “Walmart style” requests, but time invested with God. Hard Prayers: sometimes God calls us to pray for breaking, not blessing, to bring loved ones to repentance. Stillness & Meditation: modern culture overloads us with information; believers must learn to wait in silence before God. Faith & Persistence: Prayer must be effectual (energized by the Spirit), fervent (refusing to be denied), and prevailing (producing results). Biblical Anchors James 5: The effectual, fervent prayer of a righteous person avails much. Ecclesiastes 5: Draw near to hear rather than offer the “sacrifice of fools.” John 14: Jesus promises to manifest Himself to those who obey His Word. Examples of persistence in prayer: Jacob wrestling, Bartimaeus crying out, the woman with the issue of blood, Zacchaeus climbing the tree. Encouragement & Call Prayer is the greatest access point of power, healing, provision, and presence available on earth. Believers are urged to: Commit more time to prayer. Enter with thanksgiving and praise. Seek not just God's hand but His face. Be patient like Job, consistent like Elijah, and persistent like the saints of old. Final invitation: Unbelievers—come to Christ today. Prodigals—return to the Father. Christians—renew prayer life and spend time behind the veil.

LESSON 273The Stillness Of The Peace Of God Is Mine.Perhaps we are now ready for a day of undisturbed tranquility. If this is not yet feasible, we are content and even more than satisfied to learn how such a day can be achieved. If we give way to a disturbance, let us learn how to dismiss it and return to peace. We need but tell our minds, with certainty, “The stillness of the peace of God is mine,” and nothing can intrude upon the peace that God Himself has given to His Son.Father, Your peace is mine. What need have I to fear that anything can rob me of what You would have me keep? I cannot lose Your gifts to me. And so the peace You gave Your Son is with me still, in quietness and in my own eternal love for You.- Jesus Christ in ACIM

Together, let's explore the profound terrain of jhāna—a Pali term meaning “meditative absorption”—and how equanimity emerges as a central force in its deepest stages. These states of deep concentration are not just about peace or bliss, but about arriving at a radical stillness where distractions dissolve and the mind becomes clear, unwavering, and impartial. We delve into: ·       The progression through the jhānas, especially the third and fourth, where equanimity becomes dominant. ·       The distinction between physical and mental sensations, and how their transcendence reveals the purity of mindfulness. ·       The concept of the equanimity of purification, a mental quality that stills all opposition and polishes the mind to a bright, imperturbable clarity. ·       How mindfulness and equanimity work in tandem to support awakening—and how these factors were central in the Buddha's own path to enlightenment. Whether you're a longtime practitioner or just beginning your meditation journey, this episode offers both a practical and philosophical guide to understanding equanimity—not as detachment, but as luminous balance.

Mike Carnes is back! If you love his meditations as much as I do, you can find more about him below:Mike is a meditation teacher and voice actor who helps people slow down, breathe, and find a little peace in the middle of everyday chaos. He found meditation during one of the hardest chapters of his life and quickly realized it wasn't about sitting on a mountaintop — it was about learning to stay present while doing the dishes or navigating rush hour. His style is down to earth, no fluff, and made for real people with real lives.Follow Mike on Insight Timer for more down to earth guided meditations: mcvo.me/insighttimerFind his audiobook, "30 Days to Mindfulness for those who think they can't meditate" on Audible: mcvo.me/30days

In this Self Care September: Exploration of Stillness episode of Beyond Chronic Burnout, host Carole Jean Whittington welcomes Tanya Roberts, AuDHD artist, meditation teacher, and founder of Mindfulness Done Differently. Tanya's journey through panic disorder, undiagnosed ADHD and autism, and years of feeling like a “meditation failure” led her to a powerful realization: mindfulness doesn't have to mean “sit still and breathe.” Instead, she created Mindfulness Done Differently—a playful, sensory-friendly approach that integrates movement, fidgeting, art, sound, and self-expression.Together, Carole Jean and Tanya explore:

In a world that's hyper-focused on hustle and productivity, many of us have been taught that our worth is tied to what we do. But what if being is more valuable than doing?  Today on the 4:13, Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith—physician, spiritual mentor, and coach—shares how to embrace a life rooted not in performance but in stillness, rest, and your God-given identity. With warmth and wisdom, she offers both scientific insight and biblical truth to help you separate the worth of what you do from the infinite worth of who you are. You'll discover the connection between mental clarity and stillness, practical ways to build a “rest ethic,” and how to break the cycle of doing. Plus, you'll learn how to recognize the warning signs of fear-based living so you can find the courage to be vulnerable and take risks. If you've ever struggled to rest or to stop proving yourself, this conversation is a gentle but powerful reminder that you are already fully known, deeply loved, and free to just “be.” SHOW NOTES: 413Podcast.com/369 Read the episode TRANSCRIPT in the show notes.

Stillness is a system. In this episode, I break down how to dominate through emotional containment and why real power comes from channeling your emotions, not hiding them or faking hype. A lot of people think being calm or stoic means you're missing something, but I argue it's actually a winning strategy. I'll show you how to take any emotion you feel and turn that energy into productive action based on your standards, systems, and goals. Show Notes:  [04:08]#1 Stillness is about control, not about silence.  [09:34]#2 Stillness triggers discomfort in the weak.  [17:16]#3 Stillness is not a mood or emotion, it is built in a way of being, it's a system.  [19:14]Recap Episodes Mentioned: 2745: Your Mental & Emotional Immune Systems 2839: Why You WANT To Be Emotional 2853: The Emotional Challenge Of Success 1781: How To Emotionally "Detach" And Still Produce Results 560: You're In The Emotional Management Business 1294: How To Be The "Lion For A Day" Next Steps: ---
