Toward Wholeness: Finding Your Spiritual Practice

Every so often, I have to get a little "art" out! It helps me to be creative, to see things around me in a new light, and to share (albeit sometimes poorly:) some of the beauty that inspires me.

Communication is prayer for me--teaching, journaling, writing books, articles, newsletters, counseling, or preaching--God called me and gifted me to be a communicator. Of course, I do prayer in traditional and deep listening, lectio divina with music, art, walking, meditation, labyrinth prayer, or breathing Jesus name.

A great resource to help your spiritual practice life is DHM's Well-Fed Spirit Website at: http://web.me.com/ispiritual/main_site/Welcome.html

Great encouragement. I've worked to develop a body of practices that enhance my life of prayer. They include labyrinth-walking, photography, mindfulness-meditation, and Native-American-style flute playing.

many--daily prayer in morning, afternoon, and evening; daily Bible reading; tithing; sabbath; retreat; service outside church.

My spiritual practice, in part, is prayer through scripture. I find this an effective form of prayer. I also covet my retreat opportunities with my Bethany group in which we observe 24 hours of silence.
