It has been a very long time since I did a blog, or invested any time into my website, but behind the scenes a lot has been going on!
I have a lovely new website host in Toni at Designs Divine and she has created a brand new page for me in order to highlight the work I have been doing in the field of Christian mindfulness – please do take a look.
In 2022, alongside Bishop Chris Edmondson, I wrote two publications. The first is called Mindfulness as Mission Gift, which is all about how we believe that Christians need to know that Christianity has a rich tradition of mindfulness. And also how the church can connect with the secular practice of mindfulness in order to reach out to support people – especially those who are struggling with issues of poor mental health. We were delighted that one of the foremost experts on mindfulness in the Country – Professor Mark Williams – did a commendation for the book. The second is called Mindful Devotions. It is a 40 day devotional journey through various scriptures in the Bible, which are about mindfulness of the presence of God or God’s mindfulness of us. It starts with a scripture, then a reflection, then a practical application to help with every day situations and a fitting quote. Each devotion ends with a prayer. It can be used alone or in groups. We were really grateful that some wonderful people from the world of Christian Mindfulness provided devotions for us to include. We have had wonderful feedback on both books. Check out the Amazon reviews for just some of them.
We are now writing the third publication about which I will say more very soon …
Chris and I have done several workshops and teaching weekends at various churches, organisations and retreat houses. If this is something you are interested in or know someone who might be please do get in touch.
