Episode Synopsis

Session 7: Love That Sees the SoulIn this episode, we reflect on Thomas Merton’s wisdom: “The beginning of love is the will to let those we love be perfectly themselves.” Through a gentle, letter-style spoken prayer, we explore how to cultivate a love that honors the sacred in others—and in ourselves.Take a few minutes to breathe, listen, and let your heart be opened to a love that sees beyond appearances, beyond performance, to the soul itself.⏳ Timestamps00:00 – Opening chime & welcome00:25 – Merton’s invitation to love01:05 – A prayer for seeing the soul in others02:36 – A prayer for being gentle with ourselves04:00 – Love as a wide, open field05:05 – Closing blessing & final chime🌿 “May our love never be a cage, but a wide field under an open sky.”#justbreathe #ThomasMerton #meditation #love #contemplation
