    The Fourth Movement: Resting

    In the seventh and last episode of the first season of the Sacred Reading Podcast, we’re exploring the movement of “resting” or silent contemplation. This can be extremely challenging in our restless world, but don’t despair! There are many ways to access a space of peace and calm, if you’re willing to have a bit of patience. I’m happy to share some of the practices that have helped me, and welcome your ideas and experiences as well. Please join the community at sacredreading.org.

    Basic Practice - Scriptural text

    In this episode, I share a simple sequence you can use as a Sacred Reading practice on your own or in a group. The text I've chosen is the first Psalm from the Christian and Jewish scriptures, one of the great Wisdom documents of the world. If you would prefer a secular, non-religious text, I will offer that in the next episode in two weeks.
