Step into God's Presence with Spiritual Walking Meditations
From biblical times and throughout the ages, people of faith have walked and prayed. There's something profoundly reorienting about integrating prayer with our embodied experience of forward movement. We engage our senses, breathe deeply, quiet our minds, and center our hearts. It's a multisensory journey that integrates mind, body, and spirit as we notice God's gentle leading, one step at a time.
In Spiritual Wayfinding, spiritual director Deborah Gregory invites you on a pilgrimage through thirty-three unique walking meditations exploring the core questions Where am I? and Where am I going? Each experience in this easy-to-use guide offers a creative approach to walking, specific prompts for reflection and prayer, and Ignatian contemplation of Scripture.
Walking practices in Spiritual Wayfinding include:
Walking a labyrinth
Night walking
Collecting nature items to create outdoor art
Using tree-growth patterns to navigate
Walking barefoot
And many more!
Through these prayerful walks?which can be completed alone or with a friend?you'll deepen your discernment of God's presence, God's voice, God's leading, and God's all-encompassing love. Awaken to God's presence, step by step, as you discover who you are?and who you are becoming.
