Ever felt overwhelmed and just needed a moment to breathe? This episode of 'Relational Recovery' might be just what you need. Hosts West Thompson and Austin Hill take you through simple yet effective techniques to help you stay present and calm, even in the midst of chaos. From sensory walks and yoga to using apps like Calm or Spotify for guided meditations, they cover a range of practices that can help you find peace.
One standout method discussed is the 'breath prayer', where you focus on receiving, feeling, and giving God's love, joy, and peace with each breath. It's a quick way to reset your mind and spirit when you're feeling down. They also talk about the power of meditative scripture reading, encouraging you to read gospel stories slowly and repeatedly to truly immerse yourself in the narrative.
And if writing is more your thing, they suggest simply jotting down your thoughts for ten minutes to help you connect with your inner self. The episode wraps up with a reminder that these practices can be as transformative as you allow them to be. If you're looking to be more present in your life and relationships, this episode offers practical steps to get you there.
