Episode Synopsis

Theme: The contemplative life as your lifeFocus: Living as a walking prayer — rooted, open, and whole.Merton Anchor: “The monk is not a special kind of man, but every man is a special kind of monk.”In this final session of our 12-part series on Thomas Merton’s New Seeds of Contemplation, we close with a full-length meditation — weaving together the themes of the past weeks in a prayerful poem, a breath practice, and silence. Together, we remember that prayer is not something we do, but who we are.✨ If this series has been meaningful to you, I invite you to:Subscribe to the channel for the upcoming 12-Month Meditation “Just Breathe” Content CalendarShare this series with a friend who might need space to breatheReturn often to these meditations whenever you need stillness⏱️ Timestamps0:00 – Opening bell & music0:24 – Introduction: Your life as prayer1:50 – Settling into stillness2:30 – Poem-Prayer: All That We Have Become5:10 – Breath practice: Here I am / A prayer6:40 – Guided silence and reflection8:15 – Living as prayer in daily life9:20 – Closing benediction9:50 – Invitation: What’s next with Just Breathe10:06 – Final bell & silence🙏 Thank you for being part of this journey.
