Each of us loses "balance" from time to time. Spiritual practices, though, help us to regain that equilibrium. Join host Greg Powell on a walking spiritual practice. Each episode features a new practice. Whether you're ultra-busy or ultra-spiritual already, come along for the journey.

    Confronting Racial Bias -- A practice to move the subconscious to the conscious

    Fast thinking, a term coined by Nobel winner Daniel Kahneman, is what allows humans to survive and thrive. Conversely, it also leads us to make assumptions about other people. Assumptions and stereotypes are the root of division and separation, be it on lines of race, gender, size, or other. In this episode, Greg leads a practice of shining a metaphorical light on our assumptions and implicit biases for the purpose of changing those biases, which is an admittedly difficult task. For full effect, bring this on a walk down a busy sidewalk. Alternatively, sitting at home and using your imagination will have a profound effect.

    Forgiveness - A Practice of Both Offering and Requesting

    Each of us needs forgiveness, and more of it. Forgiveness if the gateway to flourishing relationships. But it's not always clear how to ask for forgiveness, or even that for which we need forgiveness. Join Greg, either on a walk or as you are, to consider two prerequisites for forgiveness and two circumstances from you own life where forgiveness is needed.

    Letting Go - Kenosis

    During both the temptations in the desert and at the crucifixion (including in the Garden of Gethsemene), Jesus engages in the self-emptying practice of kenosis. He liberates himself from his own will and desire to make room for God's will and God's desire. We also can practice letting go; we can empty ourselves to allow God's will to be our will. Then our behaviours and desires align with the promise of new life. Join host Greg Powell for a sit beside a creek to practice kenosis.

    Tapping into our brain's happiness chemistry

    A healthy brain both offers and thrives upon the happiness hormones dopamine, oxytocin, seratonin, and endorphines. By making a few simple changes to our routines, environments, and lifestyle, we can use chemistry and biology to multiply happiness. (Keeping in mind, of course, that there's a lot more to life than happiness.) Join Greg on this walking-optional meditation. And bring a pen to jot down your ideas that come to mind.

    3 People and How

    On this walking meditation, Greg guides a practice to visualize three people who have had a profound influence on your life and to attune, specifically, to how that influence took shape. This is a riff off of the "3 Things and Why" gratitude meditation.
