What if the opportunity to connect with God was as close as your next breath?
Many of us yearn for a deeper connection with God but struggle to find the time or space to cultivate it in the midst of our busy lives. The daily stress of meeting familial, work, and personal responsibilities leaves us longing to connect with God and find rest for our souls. We crave intimacy with our Creator and the peace that only God's presence can give.
With God in Every Breath invites you on a journey towards a more embodied and present spiritual life. In this practical book, Whitney R. Simpson offers carefully crafted guided prayers and meditations that provide an accessible way for us to quiet our hearts and a way to enter into God's presence that engages all of our senses. Whether used alone or in a community, each meditation is rooted in Gospel passages from The Message translation and designed to meet you in your everyday life.
A stroke at age 31 forced Whitney to slow down and listen more deeply to her body. With a young child at home, she found herself re-learning the basic skills of life (like walking) too. In the process of her healing and recovery, she discovered how to listen more deeply to God and began exploring ancient practices to reconnect her body and spirit.
Whitney is the author of Holy Listening with Breath, Body, and the Spirit and Fully Human, Fully Divine: An Advent Devotional for the Whole Self published by Upper Room Books. Through her work as a spiritual director, yoga and meditation teacher, and retreat facilitator, she incorporates yoga and other ancient tools, encouraging the sacred connection of breath, body, and spirit. Whitney completed certification in spiritual formation at Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary and is a 500-hour experienced registered yoga teacher (E-RYT 500). She is the founder of Exploring Peace Ministries, offering soul care resources for exploring the gift of God's peace with the whole self. Whitney lives in Tennessee and can be found online at www.ExploringPeace.com or WhitneyRSimpson.com and on social media at @WhitneyRSimpson. Listen to her popular prayer and meditation podcast, Exploring Peace Meditations wherever you listen to podcasts.
Good books, the great outdoors, hot tea, really dark chocolate, and the Trinity are good for her soul.
