One of my favourite psalms and definitely the one that holds me through difficult times. I come back to this Lectio again and again. Thank you, Mark 🙏🌻🕊️

This was my favorite course on Insight Timer. It gave me a sense of profound peace. Such a beautiful reminder that Jesus is always in the boat with us. He carries us through every storm. Amen. 💙🌊

I greatly enjoyed this course. I've been working on my contemplative prayer practice since 2018. It's been very helpful to think about praying like a ....poppy, mountain etc. Also I had a turtledove pair move in this spring so the cooing was very real and sweet. It's a consistent challenge to explain to others what it is I "do" vis a vis other forms of prayer or traditional eastern informed meditation, so the epilogue here so very helpful in parsing some of this. Your IT content was recommended by Maria Gullo in one of the Sunday sessions I attend. I look forward to listening to your other courses and tracks. Thank yiu!

A lovely short liturgy that supports pausing in the day to make space and be present with God. I appreciated the collection of prayers and wisdom from the scriptures. Thank you. 🙏🏾
