|
StillPublisher Description
In the award-winning 'Christ-Centred Mindfulness', leading academic and experienced mental health worker Dr Katherine Thompson draws on the rich Christian tradition to present Christian mindfulness exercises that help us slow down, connect to what is happening inside ourselves and make space to listen for God's guidance in everyday life. The practice of mindfulness requires us to be still. Yet many of our attempts to be still are foiled by the internal world of our emotions. This is especially the case with difficult emotions. We tend to push them aside, ignore them or distract ourselves from them. The exercises in 'Still' are designed to help us stop and notice our emotions, how they feel in our body, and how they affect us. Available Now At Koorong

ABIDEPublisher Description
Just as grapes cannot grow without the grapevine, neither can we flourish and grow without God. He is the vine and we are his branches. Jesus often used everyday images and metaphors, including that of the grapevine, to help us understand more about God and the nature of our relationship with him. We are invited to abide (remain) in God. Of utmost importance in this process is learning how to listen deeply to what God is speaking into our hearts, through all of our senses. In the quietness that follows, our spirit is able to hear what God’s Spirit is saying to us. The exercises in Abide are designed to help you to take time out of your busy life – to stop and deeply listen to God. Take some time out now, and learn how to abide in the presence of God.
