Rod Janz

When Rod looks back on his life he feels like he has always been called to prayer, meditation, and a close connection with the divine, especially in nature. For Rod, the Centering Prayer method popularized by Father Thomas Keating way back in the late 90's really opened the door to meditation, healing, spiritual direction, and a loving, supportive contemplative community called SoulStream. Rod is a trained spiritual director, meditation teacher, and coach.

I was enjoying it, but then I woke up this morning! I guess that’s a good sign!

An excellent breakdown of the serenity prayer. This really deepened my understanding and eased a bit of my heartache. I wrote down all of your words and will return to this daily. So much gratitude for your offering. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

After the first question—how blame is a distraction from/avoidance of the feelings—I said aloud, “dammmmmn”—the mental tricks the mind (brain?) uses to distract from unpleasant feelings. I plan to share this meditation with friends and return to it again. Thank you. And, dammmmn! 🤣
