This week let's talk health and wellness of our bodies, minds, and spirits. Tonight: The Walk With Me On Our Journey Mindfulness Exercises

Dear Family of Love,

How are you dear ones?  How did you spend your You Matter Monday?  I hope you all are doing well and that you spent your You Matter Monday feeling good about yourselves and that you are taking time to be good and taking care of yourselves. We all need to do this every day and not just on You Matter Monday. This week's challenge is devoted ti health and wellness of our bodies, minds, and spirits. To start the week off right we need to be intentional about our spiritual selves and making sure that they are well. Spiritual wellness is making sure that we all have regular conversations and times with God that are in silence or with soothing mindfulness music. These times we need to have ears that are tuned into God's voice and presence. It's not always easy but if we start by going deeper little by little we will be well on our way to have better relationships and times meditating. Tonight we are going to go back and do the old Walk With Me On Our Journey Mindfulness exercises. It is simply this we start with our breathing exercises using this format:

Inhale the Holy Spirit.
Exhale Love.

Inhale the Holy Spirit
Exhale Love

Inhale the Holy Spirit
Exhale Love

Now repeat the following 3 times;

Be Still and Know That I am God.
Be Still and Know
Be Still 
Be

Now get out some kind of timer, mindfulness app, or music and set them for 5 minutes. Then close your eyes and be silent. If the music goes long don't worry that will lead you into our time of prayer and thanksgiving.
