Sit still until you can hear your heartbeat. What did you experience?
Sitting still can be very hard for me, not just physically but also mentally. I found that at first every time I tried to clear my mind and focus on my heartbeat thoughts will still come in. Centering prayer has never been easy for me so this was no surprise. However, when I was finally able to focus solely on my heart it was as if I entered another state of reality. My concerns melted away, my thoughts drifted off, and all I could hear and feel was the rhythmic beat of my heart. It was as if the world around me did not matter. In that moment I felt closer to God, my heartbeat was God's heartbeat, and God's heart is beating in love for me.
Lord, help me to quiet my body and mind, help me to focus on the beating of my own heart so that I can see that it is your heart that is beating with mine. Amen.
