Description

Christian meditation is a form of prayer. This meditation encourages intimacy with God through a time of stillness, aligning body, soul, mind and spirit with the One who created us.  But they delight in the law of the Lord, meditating on it day and night. Psalm 1:2 NLT The Lord is in his holy temple; let all the earth be silent before him. Habakkuk 2:20 NIV References: "It's in that quiet stillness that God grows our souls and quiets our hearts." David Arms "Christian meditation is a form of prayer, a way of helping us become aware of and reflect upon God by focusing on specific thoughts and scriptures." Wikipedia Generations of Christian leaders and teachers have gone before us sharing their journey of drawing closer to God through the spiritual disciplines of silence, solitude and contemplative prayer.  Numerous resources and people have influenced my personal journey as I seek God in deeper ways. I want to acknowledge the following books and materials that I refer to and recommend: Invitation to Solitude and Silence - by Ruth Haley Barton Sacred Rhythms - by Ruth Haley Barton, InterVarsity Press The Father's Business by Sylvia Gunther - a source of excellent resources on prayer, blessings, alignment of body, soul and spirit and spiritual identity.  @thefathersbusiness.com                 Connect with us on Instagram @TheDailyStill for daily inspiration and devotionals.

Welcome to The Daily Still Podcast - A Place to Pause. Here we create space to listen for the whispers of God. Each episode features a short devotional-style, guided meditation, offering room to “be still” in the midst of the busyness of life. We position ourselves to hear God’s Voice, allowing Him to bring alignment and peace to our whole being. Host Cindy Helton is a spiritual guide and leader for stillness gatherings and retreats. She has practiced and led guided Christian meditation for over a decade. Her passion is helping others notice and become more aware of the Presence of God.
