Centering Prayer with Brian Russell: Meditation, God, and Finding Self Love

This weeks Empowered Within Guest: Brian Russell (PHD) has a compelling story about how he used journaling and silent meditative prayer to rebound from a difficult and dark time in my life (betrayal and divorce) and how his daily rhythms continue to fuel him for growth and success. He detail his journey in his latest book "Centering Prayer: Sitting Quietly in God's Presence Can Change Your Life" (Paraclete Press, 9/2021)"The promise of my book sitting quietly and God's presence will change your life is, it's the experience of being 100% loves and knowing it deep on the inside. And when you realize that God loves you, that opens you up because you're like, oh my gosh, God even loves these dark parts of myself.These shadow pieces that I have. And so then you can begin. See yourself as God sees you."  - Brian RussellThank you so much for sharing your LOVE for the Show by Sharing it with Friends, Subscribing, Rating & Leaving a Review.
