Back to work after a three day Contemplative Invitation Prayer retreat, I am reminded to share with you the spiritual aspect of health and fitness in my own life. For over five years, I’ve attended various different retreats as part of what I believe to be a whole and healthy lifestyle. Alone or with others, two –three times per year, I am renewed and re-created each time I journey (in silence) into the heart center of my being.

Centered Prayer

A weekly group and twice daily extension to my retreat experience has been to embrace a prayer practice.   As a wife, mother, daughter, small business owner and athlete, I find myself pulled in many directions all the time. I have worked with various spiritual directors and therapists in my life and have sought health with determined purpose.  The Christ Centered Prayer practice is a discipline that helps me in this life.

Make Time

In the beginning, I couldn’t imagine adding one more thing to my busy schedule. The Christ Centered Prayer practice along with Sandy and Carla’s book The Lessons just made sense to me. I began to sit twice daily, if only for a minute and over the past two years the prayer has expanded itself in me. Waking up is hard and hurts at times but the fruits of this practice are leading to me to a less complicated and more content life.
