Prayer Tool of Meditation, Mindfulness, and Breathing - Level

Prayer Tool of Meditation, Mindfulness, and Breathing - Level

A level is a tool for establishing a perfectly horizontal plane. It consists of one or more small glass tubes

containing alcohol or similar liquid and an air bubble. The tube is sealed and fixed horizontally in a wooden or metallic block or frame with a smooth lower surface. Meditation, mindfulness, and breathing are prayer tools that keep your soul leveled with your spirit.

Different from the stillness and the silence where your mind is free, meditation focuses on a specific idea. You go into meditation with a question and come out with an answer. Perhaps, you choose to meditate on positive ideas that cause you to get in touch with your spirit, such as a verse of scripture, a song, an affirmation, a mantra, a principle, the ocean waves, etc. Meditation levels your mind and brings you back to the center of your being, which is Spirit.

Popular opinion often refers to meditation as mindfulness; however, in the Kingdom, mindfulness occurs when you become aware in the moment of the thoughts that you are thinking and the feelings that you are experiencing. In your life, you can frequently focus on the past or worry about the future, and practicing mindfulness keeps you grounded in the present. Mindfulness causes you to become even-tempered and at peace with whatever is going on right here and right now.

“God breathed into human’s nostrils the breath of life, and we became living souls (Genesis 2:7).” Without thinking about it, your lungs expand and contract. Concentrating on your breathing helps you relax. Conscious breathing helps you connect with God, the breath of life that is within you. It also recalibrates the brain and rejuvenates the body. “Let everything that has breath praise the Lord (Psalm 150:6).” Meditation, mindfulness, and breathing are often combined and flow into each other as one Prayer Tool, the Level.

Refocus Your Faith: How to Overcome Distraction, Disappointment, and Discouragement

  Refocus Your Faith: How to Overcome Distraction, Disappointment, and Discouragement "For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love."   Galatians 5:6 (KSB)    With everything going on around us, it's easy to feel lost. Distractions come quickly, disappointments pile up, and discouragement sneaks in. We all face these moments. But even when we get off track, there is a way back and that path is through our faith, principles, and core values.  When you live your life anchored in principles, it gives you a compass for when the road gets unclear. Knowing your vision, your mission, and your core values makes it easier to realign when life feels out of control. But if you don’t know who you are, how can you get back to being your best self? If you don’t know what you stand on, what can you stand up on after a fall?    Clarity of purpose keeps you ...

Universe Means One Thing: Love

  Universe Means One Thing: Love "For all the law is fulfilled in this one word, love: Love your neighbor as yourself."   Galatians 5:14 (KSB)    Sometimes, the word “universe” can feel mysterious even spooky to some. Others think it's irreverent or sacrilegious when used in spiritual conversations. But what if we redefined it? What if “universe” simply meant love? What if it meant God, since God is love?  When we say, “the universe,” we can think of it as pointing to one word love. Just one word. The entire Bible, composed of 66 books and written by over 40 different authors, ultimately speaks to one central theme: love. From beginning to end, this divine book points us toward loving God, loving ourselves, and loving others.  In the Old Testament, God's people had 636 laws civil, ceremonial, and moral. They guided everything from relationships to religious festivals. But then Jesus came and said, “Let me make this simple Love God. Love yourself. L...

You Are in God’s Will: How to Receive Your Divine Inheritance

  You Are in God’s Will: How to Receive Your Divine Inheritance "In whom also we have obtained an inheritance because we were predestined according to the purpose of God, who works all things after the counsel of Divine Will."  Ephesians 1:11    Affirmation: My health is optimal because it’s God’s will that all of my relationships are harmonious.                                                    Ephesians 1:11 reminds us that we have obtained an inheritance through Christ. If earthly parents and grandparents can leave behind an inheritance of tangible and intangible value land, homes, recipes, wisdom, or even prayer, how much greater is the inheritance from our heavenly Father?  An inheritance implies that someone thought of you before their passing, made intentional plans, and had a desire for your future. Similarly,...
