TUNGKOL SA EPISODE NA ITO
Explore LDS faith, Christian contemplative practices, contemplative prayer, centering prayer, meditation, yoga, Christian wisdom traditions, LDS temple ritual, and spiritual transformation as pathways to a direct experience of God. Host Meghan Farner and contemplative teacher Dani Mouritsen discuss how these practices can deepen faith, open the heart, and help us experience God in the present moment.
Dani shares how yoga and meditation led her toward Christian wisdom practices, including centering prayer and Lectio Divina. Together, they explore ritual and symbolism in the temple, surrender, trust, and the shift from believing the right things about God to being with God. They also discuss how daily contemplative practice can cultivate compassion and make spiritual transformation part of everyday life.
