Listen "Session 8: “Contemplation and the Ordinary”"
Episode Synopsis
In this gentle meditation, we explore the sacred that lives in the ordinary — in dishes, laundry, and the hum of a daily commute.Guided by Thomas Merton’s reminder that “The spiritual life is first of all a life,” we practice noticing beauty, presence, and God’s nearness in the simple moments we often overlook.Take a few minutes to slow down, breathe, and discover the holiness woven into your everyday life.Timestamps:0:00 – Welcome & introduction to the theme0:42 – Reflection on Merton’s words1:15 – Imagining the sacred in ordinary tasks2:18 – Guided breath & body awareness3:45 – Remembering the sacred in daily life4:35 – Closing benediction
