<p>Hi friends! </p> <p>Meditation is such a powerful biblical tool. Today we unpack some secrets and tools to help with our prayer practice. And we answer the question—Isn’t Meditation New Age? Yes, and no. ;) We are diving into Biblical meditation… Yes, Meditation is biblical and is one of the most powerful ways to encounter God.</p> <p>Please keep in mind, when we talk about Spiritual practices, I know we all can tend to pile on the shame of “I should do more”, or “I’m not doing enough”. Try not to take the bait of self-condemnation and pile on the shame if you are struggling there.</p> <p>All of these practices are intended to bring more freedom, not pile on more bondage. </p> <p>Articles on the benefits of Meditation:</p> <p><a href='https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/wellness-and-prevention/need-stress-relief-try-mindfulness-meditation'>John Hopkins University</a> </p> <p><a href='https://www.nccih.nih.gov/health/meditation-in-depth'>US Department of Health</a></p> <p>To learn more about the Spiritual Intentions Framework:</p> <p><a href='https://www.danisumner.com/spiritualintentionsframework'>https://www.danisumner.com/spiritualintentionsframework</a></p> <p>*Bonus—If you sign up for the audio course, the Spiritual Intentions Framework--12 principles to Spiritual Growth when all else fails by March 18th—I am throwing in a zoom group coaching call to dive into all of this material together—excited to connect with you! </p> <p>Love ya,  Dani</p> <p>To learn more about the Spiritual Intentions Framework-12 steps to Spiritual Growth when all else fails:</p> <p><a href='https://www.danisumner.com/spiritualintentionsframework'>https://www.danisumner.com/spiritualintentionsframework</a></p> <p>To learn more about Dani:</p> <p><a href='http://www.danisumner.com/'>www.danisumner.com</a></p> <p>Need prayer or have questions?
