Spiritual Reading Psalm 119:28

This is a non fact-finding practice. It is simply a reception to what the text has to teach you. Consider this practice as a slow dance between Scripture, God and Silence. The meditation begins with a brief explanation of the practice, before a meditative prayer and contemplation. Open your mind and heart to the Divine energy, and enter a state of true contentment.

What a wonderful pause in a busy day, in a busy world. Thank you for reviving this ancient tradition and method.

Repeating the reference of Psalm119:28 with the words jarred me from reflecting deeply. I appreciate the passage, thank you.

Lovely thank you

Ok. I've been a staunch atheist for most of my adult life with leanings toward becoming agnostic over the past year, I usually avoid all religious content. That said, I saw this was new, I wanted a quick 5 minute meditation and I had one too many glasses of the sabbatical wine and I clicked on this meditation. And I'm glad I did. It really resonated with me. Short but powerful. Thank you, thank you, thank you. My only recommendation is for an ending bell.

Strength 🤞🏻💪🏻
