Not All Advice is Aligned: Protect Your Energy and Stay True to Your Path
Some people are out here giving advice to confuse you, take you off your path, and keep you from the connections and guidance meant for you. Not everyone advising you has your best interest at heart.
They may look like they have it all together, but deep down, they’re miserable – trapped in lives, relationships, or situations that don’t align with what they truly want.
They’re bitter, resentful, or projecting their unhappiness onto you. And the advice they give reflects that. It’s not about helping you; it’s about keeping you from achieving something they can’t or won’t allow themselves to have.
Beware of taking advice from people who don’t want to see you happy or thriving. Their words might be disguised as wisdom, but their energy doesn’t lie.
Pay attention to how you feel when you listen to them.
Not everyone who speaks into your life is aligned with divine truth or love. Some are operating from envy, fear, or control. They’re not on your side, and they don’t want to see you step into the gifts and blessings God has for you.
Trust the guidance you receive from divine connection. Be discerning about whose advice you take and whose opinions you value. Protect your energy and your path.
Remember: People can only lead you as far as they’ve gone themselves. If they’re bitter, unhealed, or disconnected from truth, their advice will reflect that. Choose wisely.
Surround yourself with people who genuinely celebrate your growth and joy. The right guidance will always feel clear, grounded, and uplifting, even when it challenges you.
Don’t let anyone steer you away from what God has for you. Stay anchored in divine truth, and keep moving toward the life you’re meant to live.
Practical Tips for Discernment
Notice how you feel when you receive advice: Does it inspire or drain you?
Reflect on the advisor’s intentions: Are they encouraging you or projecting their fears?
Seek alignment with your core values and intuition.
Pray and lean into the Wisdom and Mentorship from the Holy Spirit to seek clarity before taking big steps based on someone else’s input.
Biblical Wisdom for Discernment
1 John 4:1
“Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God.”
Context:
Not everything we hear is coming from a place of truth or love. Take the time to check – pray, reflect, and trust your intuition – to make sure the advice aligns with God’s guidance.
Matthew 7:16 “By their fruit, you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thorn bushes, or figs from thistles?”
Context:
Pay attention to the results people get in their own lives – their ‘fruit.’ If someone’s life feels messy, bitter, or out of alignment, their advice will reflect that. You can’t expect clarity or wisdom from someone who isn’t living it.
Reflection Question
Who are the voices in your life right now, and are they aligned with where you want to go?
At the end of the day, our path is sacred, and not everyone is meant to walk it with us or guide us on it. Take the time to pause, pray, and listen to your inner wisdom. God’s guidance will never lead you astray, and the right people will uplift and encourage you. Stay grounded in truth, protect your energy, and keep moving toward the life you’re meant to live.

Proverbs 3:5-6 (NIV): “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.”
I come before you, fully aware of the complexities of my life. I know I am not alone in facing the doubts and fears that arise. These are part of my human experience, shaped by the world, circumstances, and my own mind. But I also know they do not have to control me. I lean into them, Lord, acknowledging that they are real and that I need your intervention to heal and overcome them.
I pray for the mentorship of the Holy Spirit to help me process and understand the origin of these fears, these doubts, and the patterns I’ve allowed to persist in my life. I ask you to shine your light on where I am stuck God. Show me where in my personal life, my relationships, my work, or in my spiritual walk – wherever I need clarity, I trust you God to reveal it.
I repent for all the times I let these things get in the way of my path and your Will. I repent for myself. I repent for my family lines. I repent for all past generations. I repent for our collective experience. God please forgive us. I lean into the wisdom and mentorship of your Holy Spirit. I pray for the Holy Spirit, Jesus, The Angelic Realm, and God to intercede on our behalf.
God please show me the gap between where I am and where you are calling me to be. God I trust that you will walk me through this, step by step. I soften my heart to your love and favor. I open my heart and my ears to receiving your Wisdom and Promptings of your Holy Spirit.
John 14:26 (NIV):
“But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.”
God, I bring my relationships before you. Whether in family, friendships, or community, I recognize that they come with their own set of challenges and gifts. I ask you, God, to heal any wounds, restore brokenness, and bring peace to these dynamics. I take full responsibility for the role I’ve played God. I own my part.
I repent and ask for your forgiveness. I repent for myself. I repent for my family lines. I repent for all past generations. I repent for our collective experience. God please forgive us. I lean into the wisdom and mentorship of your Holy Spirit. I pray for the Holy Spirit, Jesus, The Angelic Realm, and for you God to intercede on our behalf.
God, help me to love with your love, forgive as you forgive, and be a light to those around me. Holy Spirit, help me to strengthen my discernment, to navigate difficult conversations, set healthy boundaries, and understand the hearts of those I interact with. God I want to reflect your love in all that I do, especially in relationships, interactions, and experiences that feel strained and hard. God I pray that you lead me, guide me, and show me your way.
1 John 4:7-8 (NIV):
“Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.”
God, I again surrender my business and my professional path into your hands. I know that this work you’ve called me to is important, and I want to honor you with it. I know that this is for your Glory. Help me to align my vision with yours, to make decisions that reflect your truth and values, and to move forward in faith, not fear.
When doubt creeps in about my ability or my next steps, I pray for you to renew my mind. Remind me that with you God, nothing is impossible. I affirm this with (Matthew 19:26) “Jesus looked at them and said, ‘With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.’
God, help me to stay focused on your guidance and not on the noise of the world or my own insecurities and perceptions. When doubt creeps in, remind me of your promises and the truth of who you are. God, I pray that you teach me to discern your voice amidst the chaos, trusting in your wisdom over my limited understanding.
I repent for all of the times when I allowed that to supersede your guidance. I repent and ask for your forgiveness. I repent for myself. I repent for my family lines. I repent for all past generations. I repent for our collective experience. God please forgive us. I lean into the wisdom and mentorship of your Holy Spirit. I pray for the Holy Spirit, Jesus, The Angelic Realm, and for you God to intercede on our behalf.
Colossians 3:23-24 (NIV):
“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.”
God I know that with every step you’re strengthening my faith to move forward boldly, knowing that you are leading me. I anchor my heart in your peace, and let your truth be the foundation of every thought, word, and action. When challenges arise, remind me that your power is made perfect in my weakness.
God help me to trust even more in your timing, walk in obedience, and rest in the assurance that you are always working all things together for my good.
2 Corinthians 12:9 (NIV):
“But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.”
Jesus, I thank you for the strength and grace you have given me and the blessings of your sacrifice. I repent for allowing any belief or action that hasn’t served your purpose to take root in my life. I ask for your forgiveness where I’ve allowed fear to drive me instead of faith.
I repent for myself. I repent for my family lines. I repent for all past generations. I repent for our collective experience. God please forgive us. I lean into the wisdom and mentorship of your Holy Spirit. I pray for the Holy Spirit, Jesus, The Angelic Realm, and God to intercede on our behalf.
God, I bring my spiritual path before you. I recognize that my relationship with You is the foundation of everything. Help me to deepen my trust in you, to move past the things that have hindered my connection with you, and to fully embrace the peace and wisdom you offer. God I repent for all of the ways and times I allowed the noise and agendas of others to lead me away from your guidance.
I repent for myself, I repent for my family lines, I repent for all past generations, I repent for our collective experience. God please forgive us. I lean into the wisdom and mentorship of your Holy Spirit. I pray for the Holy Spirit, Jesus, The Angelic Realm, and God to intercede on our behalf.
God, guide me into a closer walk with you – show me where I’ve held onto limiting beliefs, fears, resentment, or worldly paradigms, and help me to let go of them. I want to be fully surrendered to you, living in alignment with your will for my life. I repent for all of the times where I walked in my ego or worldly materialistic beliefs over your guidance and word.
I repent for myself, I repent for my family lines, I repent for all past generations, I repent for our collective experience. God please forgive us. Holy Spirit, I pray for you, Jesus, the Angelic Realm, and God to intercede on my behalf in these areas of doubt and confusion, and I trust that you will bring transformation in my heart and mind. Help me to release all that doesn’t align with your will.
Proverbs 3:5-6 (NIV):
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.”
God, I pray for your protection over all that I do – over my heart, my mind, my body, my work, and my relationships. Surround me with your angels, guarding me against any schemes of the enemy that seek to disrupt my peace and purpose. I know that no weapon formed against me shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17), and I stand on that promise.
I repent for all the times I didn’t believe this and allowed my faith to waver. I repent for myself. I repent for my family lines. I repent for all past generations. I repent for our collective experience. God please forgive us. I lean into the wisdom and mentorship of your Holy Spirit. I pray for the Holy Spirit, Jesus, The Angelic Realm, and God to intercede on our behalf.
Isaiah 54:17 (NIV): “No weapon forged against you will prevail, and you will refute every tongue that accuses you. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and this is their vindication from me,” declares the Lord.
God I pray that you shield us from negativity, harmful influences, and anything that seeks to derail me from your plan. I know that you supersede it all – every obstacle, every challenge, every negative influence that tries to come against me. You are greater than any force in this world. I place my trust in you God, in your power, knowing that you will guard me, protect my heart and mind, and guide me towards your perfect will.
I repent for all the times I didn’t believe this and put anything or anyone above you. I repent for myself. I repent for my family lines. I repent for all past generations. I repent for our collective experience. God please forgive us. I lean into the wisdom and mentorship of your Holy Spirit. I pray for the Holy Spirit, Jesus, The Angelic Realm, and God to intercede on our behalf.
Romans 8:31 (NIV):
“What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?”
God I pray that your presence surrounds me, so that nothing can shake my foundation in you. Strengthen my faith to stand firm, and help me to recognize when distractions arise, that I may stay focused on your will and purpose for my life.
Lord, I also ask for your provision – physical, emotional, spiritual, and financial. I trust that you know exactly what I need and that you will provide in your perfect timing. I surrender all worries about what’s next, knowing that you are the source of everything good (James 1:17). Thank You for Your endless provision and care.
James 1:17 (NIV): “Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.”
Holy Spirit, I pray for your mentorship and guidance through every challenge, every moment of doubt, and every step of growth. I open my heart to the transformation you bring. I trust that you are renewing me from the inside out. Show me where I need to grow, where I need to release old patterns, and where I need to step out in faith.
I trust that you will never leave me nor forsake me (Hebrews 13:5). Even in the moments I don’t feel your presence, I know you are always here, leading me toward the future God has prepared for me.
Hebrews 13:5 (NIV):
“Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, ‘Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.”
God, thank you for your patience with me, for your love that never fails, and for your guidance that is always steady. I trust that you will continue to mold me into who you’ve called me to be. I am open to your will, and I will move forward with courage, knowing you are with me every step of the way.
Journal and meditate on the things that came up for your during this prayer.

Practical Steps for Daily Aligned Living
1. Start Your Day in Surrender and Sacred Connection
Begin each morning with a moment of surrender to God, acknowledging that He is in control and that His plan for you is greater than anything you can anticipate. Offer a simple prayer asking God to lead, protect, and guide your steps. Set the tone for your day by dedicating time to connect with God, whether through prayer, journaling, or quiet reflection. Create sacred space throughout your day to nourish your relationship with Him and seek His wisdom in all things.
2. Anchor in Scripture:
Choose a verse or passage that speaks to your heart and anchor your day in it. When challenges arise, speak that verse out loud as a reminder of God’s truth and promises. For example, you can meditate on Romans 8:31 or Isaiah 54:17 when negativity or doubt tries to creep in.
3. Set Intentional Goals:
Align your personal and professional goals with God’s purpose for your life. Take practical steps toward your goals each day while acknowledging His leading. Trust that God will guide you to the right opportunities and help you overcome obstacles.
4. Focus on What You Can Control:
In moments of doubt or fear, shift your focus to what you can control. You may not have control over others’ actions or outside circumstances, but you do have control over how you respond. Lean into God’s Word, Will, and Promises. Pray to the Holy Spirit for Wisdom, Discernment, and Intercession on your behalf. Choose peace, trust, and faith over stress and worry.
5. Mindful Listening:
Take time daily to listen for God’s guidance. This could be through prayer, meditation, or quiet reflection. Tune into His voice and pray for the Holy Spirit to lead you, especially in moments when you face tough decisions or confusion.
6. Guard Your Mind:
Protect your thoughts by actively choosing what you allow into your mind. Be mindful of the content you consume, whether it’s social media, news, or conversations. Fill your mind with positive, uplifting, and truth-filled messages that align with God’s Word and His Promises.
7. Forgive and Release:
Practice forgiveness daily, both for yourself and others. Understand that unforgiveness blocks the flow of peace and can hold you back from fully embracing God’s plan. Let go of past hurts and trust that God will heal and restore you in His time.
8. Trust in His Timing:
Remind yourself regularly that God’s timing is perfect, even when it doesn’t match your own. If something isn’t happening as quickly as you’d like, lean into His plan with patience and trust that He is working behind the scenes for your good. Pray for the mentorship of the Holy Spirit to show you what you’re not seeing and the parts you get to play, and where you’re out of alignment.
9. Celebrate Your Progress:
Acknowledge your growth, no matter how small. Celebrate the ways you are moving closer to His plan for your life and honor the journey, even in the midst of challenges. Gratitude shifts your perspective and brings a deeper sense of peace.

Hey! I’m Jasmine Renee, Mindfulness Consultant. I love to help others find more peace, clarity, and alignment through Mindfulness and Faith. I combine simple techniques with Biblical Principles that strengthen our connection with ourselves and with God.
Prayer is powerful, but it can sometimes feel incomplete without deeper reflection and action. This process addresses those gaps by combining repentance and intercession to clear and align our hearts, reflection questions to uncover insights and patterns, and practical steps that help us to live out the prayer daily.
Together, these elements transform the Prayer for God’s Renewal and Alignment into a full, intentional journey that deepens our connection with God and helps us align with His will in every area of our life.
I believe with God’s help, peace is always within reach. I hope this prayer and practices bring you as much peace, clarity, and alignment on your path as they bring me.

Explore how the Bible’s timeless truths and active guidance can transform our faith, align our lives, and deepen our connection with God.
Let’s talk about this idea of the Bible being “living.” It’s something I’ve heard a lot, but I always wondered – what does that really mean?
Apparently It’s not just some poetic way to describe scripture. It means the Bible is active, relevant, and constantly shaping how we connect with God and live our lives.
I found this fascinating and the more I intentionally dive into the understanding of Biblical Principles and how the parables and verses speak to the themes that we face today has been both a humbling and enlightening experience.
Ok here’s what I’ve learned so far.

Biblical Principles are Timeless and Relevant
The Personal and Transformative Impact of Scripture
God’s Voice in Our Life
Why Engaging with the Bible Matters
The Bible is Spiritually Alive
The Bible isn’t just words on a page. It’s alive because it’s inspired by God and carried by the Holy Spirit (2 Timothy 3:16-17). When we read it, it’s not just about understanding stories or rules – it’s about experiencing something real, something that speaks directly to our hearts.
Hebrews 4:12: “The word of God is alive and active.” That means scripture has power. It can challenge us, comfort us, and guide us in ways that hit exactly where we need them. It’s like God is having a conversation with us through His Word.
Biblical Principles are Timeless and Relevant
What blows my mind is how the Bible stays relevant no matter the time or place. It doesn’t matter if it was written thousands of years ago – the principles still speak to our challenges today. Love, forgiveness, grace, justice – these truths don’t expire.
And the thing is, it’s not about the surface-level stories or rules. It’s about deeper principles that apply to the way we live, think, and interact with the world. That’s why people from completely different cultures and backgrounds can still find truth and guidance in it.
The Personal and Transformative Impact of Scripture
The Bible meets us right where we are, offering guidance and insight that resonates uniquely in different seasons of our lives. Have you ever read a verse and noticed how its meaning changes depending on your circumstances? That’s the living, active nature of scripture – God’s Word working through the Holy Spirit to provide exactly what we need in the moment.
This personal interaction with scripture has a profound way of shifting our perspectives and helping us process life’s challenges. It’s not just about understanding the words on the page; it’s about allowing them to work within us, guiding us toward growth and clarity.
As Romans 12:2 reminds us, “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” Engaging with scripture in a meaningful way transforms us, renewing our minds and helping us align with God’s purpose. This transformative power isn’t just theoretical – it’s a lived experience that shapes how we think, feel, and show up in the world, bringing us closer to the person God created us to be.
God’s Voice in Our Life
This is the part that feels so personal to me. The Bible is one of the ways God speaks to us. It’s not just about reading; it’s about listening – listening for the guidance, clarity, and conviction that He’s bringing through His Word.
And here’s the thing: it’s not about perfection or understanding everything right away. It’s about being open to that connection, to the ways God uses scripture to guide us.
The other part of this is the awareness it brings us. When we sit in prayer and meditate on the messages that verses and biblical principles give us we open up to the mentorship and promptings of the Holy Spirit. This supports us to soften and open our hearts more to God and his wisdom.
Now from this place of awareness we can then acknowledge the part we’ve played in our life and experiences and ask for forgiveness where we’ve been out of alignment with God’s will and Biblical Principles. This is a part of Repenting. We will be exploring this deeper soon.
The next part is to pray and ask the Holy Spirit, Jesus, the Angelic Realm & God to intercede on our behalf. Prayer is our direct line to God, a sacred conversation where we not only speak but also listen. It’s in these moments of prayer that we can pour out our hearts, seek His guidance, and ask for His intervention – not just in our lives but in the lives of others. Intercession is a powerful act of standing in the gap for those in need, aligning our hearts with God’s desires for restoration, healing, and peace.
This is also where we bring our specific requests and concerns, trusting that God hears us and works all things together for our good. It’s in these times of prayer that we often find the strength, comfort, and clarity we need to move forward.
Finally, we step into obedience. As we hear God’s voice and feel the promptings of the Holy Spirit, it’s important to act on them. Obedience to God’s Word and His will is a tangible expression of our faith and trust in Him. It’s not always easy, but it’s through obedience that we truly align our lives with His purpose.
When we walk this path – listening, repenting, praying, and obeying – we grow closer to God and allow His voice to guide every part of our lives. This path can feel like a process, but it’s one that can lead to deeper peace, stronger faith, and a life that reflects God’s glory.
Why Engaging with the Bible Matters
When we talk about the Bible as a living body of work, it’s not just about respecting it as a sacred text – it’s about letting it be active in our lives. It’s about engaging with it in a way that’s honest, open, and personal.
This is why I approach scripture the way I do. It’s not just about memorizing verses or following rules. It’s about asking questions, exploring what’s coming up for us, and seeing how it aligns (or doesn’t) with what God is revealing in His Word.
So, as you sit with scripture, I encourage you to ask yourself:
What’s coming up for me as I read this?
How is this aligning (or not) with how I’m living my life?
What might God be trying to show me here?
That’s what makes it a living work. It’s not static – it’s moving, active, and shaping us in real-time.

Foundations of Grounding
In this post, we’re diving into the foundational practices that support grounding: Heart, Root, and Feet. We’ll explore how each of these plays a role in stabilizing you emotionally and spiritually. We’ll also talk about how conscious breathing enhances grounding and helps you feel more aligned in your body and mind.
Why Grounding is Essential for Emotional Well-Being
Grounding isn’t just about staying physically stable – it’s about anchoring our mind, body, and soul. When life feels chaotic, grounding helps us tap into a sense of inner peace. It offers a solid foundation that shields us from emotional turbulence and helps us stay aligned with our values, goals, and God’s will.
Without grounding, we can experience a multitude of different symptoms like, feeling scattered, disconnected, constantly overwhelmed, or even physical symptoms like dizziness & nausea.
When we ground ourselves, we invite more balance into our lives. Grounding helps us manage stress, regain focus, and restore emotional stability. I believe it’s a crucial practice for us to maintain throughout our day.
3 Essential Grounding Practices
Now, let’s break down some of the key practices that create this emotional and spiritual foundation.
Heart: The heart is your center of love, compassion, and connection. Grounding through your heart brings awareness to this sacred space, helping you to tap into a deeper connection with God and His Higher Wisdom. It helps us move beyond worldly conditioning and desires, aligning us with His divine will.
“Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.”(Proverbs 4:23)
Spiritual Roots: Being deeply grounded in the Holy Spirit and God’s promises provides stability and strength. Just as roots anchor a tree, our spiritual roots establish us in faith, love, and God’s truth. This grounding reminds us that no matter what life brings, we are firmly planted in His peace and guidance.
As Ephesians 3:17 says, “That Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith – that you, being rooted and grounded in love.”
Feet: Focus on your feet to ground yourself in the present moment. This awareness cultivates stability and presence, supporting us to be even more present in our daily experiences.
“Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” – Psalm 119:105
Begin with Your Heart
This is our center of love, compassion, and connection. Grounding through your heart means bringing your awareness into the center of your heart. I teach and practice the heart connection. This is what allows me to tap into the purity of my connection with God and Higher Wisdom. It allows us to come out of our conditioning and flesh desires and into the true deep connection with God.
Biblical Principles:
Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, and mind. (Matthew 22:37) This verse speaks to the importance of grounding ourselves in love and compassion, starting from the heart. It emphasizes that love and alignment with God are central to our lives. When we center ourselves in love – both for God and others – we connect deeply to our true selves and align our intentions with divine purposes.
Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me. (Psalm 51:10) This verse calls for a heart transformation, which aligns with the practice of healing and offering love to the parts of ourselves that need restoration. It speaks to the process of reconnecting with the purity of our intentions and desires, grounded in God’s love and compassion.
Heart Connection Practice
Connect with your heart and inner wisdom through this simple practice. By focusing on your heart center, you’ll access intuition, guidance, and self-compassion, helping you navigate life with greater clarity and understanding.
This technique is ideal for those seeking to deepen their relationship with themselves and tap into their inner truth.
Start with the Simple Breathing Practice
Take a moment to pause.
Soften your gaze.
Now take a deep breath in through your nose.
Allow that air to fill your lungs.
Feel your tummy expand.
Allow that nourishing breath to absorb any stress, tension, and emotional energy that’s not serving you.
When you’re ready exhale out your mouth. Allowing it to be carried away by the breath.
Repeat 3-5 times.
Next Heart Connection Practice
Bring your awareness into the center of your heart
On your next inhale breathe deep into the center of your Heart you can place your hands there if you like
Exhale
Take another slow deep breath into your Heart, hold it for a 4 seconds
Exhale
Take another slow deep into your Heart, hold it for a 4 seconds
Exhale
Allow the love in your heart to overflow filling you up and expanding out as far as you want it to go.
Spend 3 – 5 minutes sitting in this space connected with your heart.
I encourage you to spend a couple of minutes journaling on what comes up for you during this practice
Invite God’s Wisdom and the Holy Spirit into Your Grounding
After grounding through your breath and heart, we now open ourselves to receive guidance from God and the Holy Spirit. This final step is about attuning our hearts and spirits to God’s presence, asking Him to lead us in all areas of our lives.
Biblical Principle:
If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. (James 1:5) In this practice, we invite God’s wisdom and the Holy Spirit to guide us as we ground ourselves. We ask for clarity, direction, and peace, trusting that God is faithful to lead us.
How to Incorporate God’s Wisdom:
Pause and Invite the Holy Spirit: Before continuing with your grounding practice, take a moment to invite the Holy Spirit to guide you.
Holy Spirit, I welcome you now to fill my heart with your wisdom. Help me to connect more deeply with Your guidance as I ground myself in Your truth.
Breathe
Listen for God’s Wisdom: After taking a few breaths and grounding in your heart, pause for a moment of stillness. Open your heart to God’s Wisdom. Trust that, in this space of peace, He will speak to you – whether through a feeling, an intuitive nudge, or a word that comes to your mind.
Remember this isn’t about forcing anything to happen or it looking a certain way. This is about tuning into your heart and being open to your unique connection with God.
Practice:
Ask for God’s Guidance: In this stillness, ask God:
Lord, what wisdom do you want me to hear today?
How can I walk more fully in your peace?
Holy Spirit, guide me in the steps ahead, align my heart and actions with Your will.
Continue to take slow deep Breaths
Sit in Gods Presence: Spend a few more minutes simply resting in Gods presence, grounded and open to receiving His guidance. Allow your awareness to be drawn toward any thoughts or inspirations that come to you, trusting that they are from Him.
When to use: I suggest using this practice daily in the morning & throughout your day whenever you feel like you’re in your head.
Grounding: A Path to Stability and Divine Connection
Grounding is a vital practice that nurtures our emotional and spiritual well-being, helping us to stay connected to our truth and to God. By grounding through our hearts and inviting God’s wisdom, we create a foundation that brings more clarity, peace, and stability to our lives.
Incorporating these practices daily helps align us with our inner strength, making us more resilient and open to divine guidance. Remember, grounding is not a one-time event but an ongoing practice that supports our emotional health and deepens our connection with God.
As we move forward, it’s important to remember that grounding isn’t just a concept but a skill we can enhance through our connection to both the earth and our bodies.
