Episode Description
What is prayer? When and how do you pray? We are familiar with prayers of petition and prayer offered in urgent times. Andrew Harvey, author of Light the Flame 365 Days of Prayer joins us to share his thoughts on the nourishing power of daily prayer practice. Amidst the busyness of our lives, Andrew’s book of short prayers, each one meant to be read slowly and reflected upon for a brief period each day, allows us to let the words of the world’s spiritual traditions soak into our hearts and minds and nurture our love and compassion from the inside out. Might we consider prayer a base of support? May daily prayer be a time to set aside action and distraction and sit in devotion to love and truth? Especially in times of loss and change, we need a steady compass to keep us on our path. Discover or rediscover the power of prayer to do just that.
