Surprisingly, we’re already in the third week of April, which is the second week of Eastertide. My question for you is: What’s arisen in your heart, mind and soul as you’ve once again traversed Lent, Palm Sunday, Holy Week and Easter Sunday? Have any of these liturgies touched your heart, soul or mind in new ways? What new insights into your spirituality have you experienced and how are they inspiring your life today? I’m asking these questions because, so much of the time, we simply go through the motions and miss the profound insights hidden in the narratives.

How are you changing and rearranging as you continue to explore your beliefs? What ways are you discovering the greater heights, depths and breadths of your spirituality? Do you have a stilling practice, a prayer and meditation practice, some kind of mental, emotional, physical and spiritual practice? If so, great. If not, why not? I don’t mean to be dogmatic, but if we want to continue to grow into the fullness of Christ we must ongoingly exercise our ‘spiritual muscles’.

Take some time today, this week, this month to sit quietly and meditate on the resurrection, new life, Christ, anointing and blessing, flowing in, around and through you. Awaken to the possibilities of growing mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually as you breathe in, breath out, breathe in, breath out, breathe in, breathe out consciously and prayerfully with an awakened Presence. Relax your shoulders, your mind, your heart, your very being, everything to Renew!!!

Blessings All Ways,
