Going back to an old favorite! Praying in place! Seeking God, Going Deeper, Being in a loving relationship with God in the quiet of our beings

Dear Family of Love,

I hope everyone had a wonderful Self-Care Saturday! Tonight instead of prayer walking and doing the Whole Holy #3, I decided we would go back to an old favorite, that we used to do when I was having chemo. I call it praying in place. I'm feeling alright but my body seems to need  a bit of rest and I have an early call at the Faith Factory tomorrow morning. Sometimes our bodies, minds, and spirits need a change in routine. Praying in place is easy and requires no special equipment only our hearts and intentions  brought lovingly to God. It is just that simple. Before we do this let us go back to our old mindfulness time with our timers or music. This we can use with our breathing exercises too: 
Inhale the Holy Spirit
Exhale Love

Inhale the Holy Spirit
Exhale Love

Inhale the Holy Spirit

You may add or use instead.
