On this episode of Tips and Tricks Podcast, I speak with Meditation Coach and Public Speaker, Rich Lewis. Rich Lewis is an author, speaker and coach who focuses on centering prayer as a means of inner transformation. He teaches centering prayer in both his local and virtual community and offers one-on-one coaching. Rich’s newest book is titled, "Sitting with God: A Journey To Your True Self Through Centering Prayer". In 2013, Rich began to dabble in silent prayer, a term that’s often used as synonymous with centering prayer. He had heard and read that silence can transform you. He wanted to experience this transformation too.
He forced himself to sit in silence. He began to test how long he could sit there. He started with one minute and increased it to three and even four minutes. It was difficult!
Silence and silent prayer are counter-cultural. They are very challenging to cultivate because everything in our culture seems to point in another direction. Yet, surprisingly, it is in silence that he has has found profound transformation. And that is the motivation for writing this book. He wants to share what he has discovered.
He publishes weekly meditations, book reviews, and interviews on his site, "Silence Teaches". He has published articles for a number of organizations, including Contemplative Light, Abbey of the Arts, Contemplative Outreach, EerdWord, In Search of a New Eden, the Ordinary Mystic at Patheos, and the Contemplative Writer.
On this episode, Rich and I connected as talked about purpose, noise and when it all becomes to too loud. Finding your purpose is often rooted in finding yourself. We talked about how hard it can be to find yourself, when everything around you is telling you to listen to them. Tune in as Rich shares his secret of Silent Prayer and how it changed his life.
Enjoy!
