meditation: finding rest for our restlessness

from Following Spirit Hosted by Caroline Vogel

This meditation is an opportunity to create sacred space to be with and let be whatever might be restless within your mind, heart space, gut, body, soul &/or spirit. When we turn towards our own experience with compassion we have the opportunity to not only listen to whatever wisdom the restlessness might have to share, we also realize we come home to the presence of a loving God right there with us in the restlessness. Connected with the breath of God (The Holy Spirit) we can experience the divine breath transforming whatever is restless within us into a place of rest in a loving God. Saint Augustine once said "God, Thou hast made us for thyself and our hearts are restless until they find their rest in thee." I might only add to the great saint's words by saying our hearts, minds, souls, bodies, spirits, energy are restless until they find their rest in thee. Meditation offers us the very opportunity to find rest in God allowing the breath of the Spirit to the transform our restlessness into rest in God.
