Meditations By Ian White Maher: Praise | Gratitude | Joy | Transformation

There is a whisper from beyond. A call from the sacred inspiring us to bring more beauty into the world

The experience of beauty can be sacred. It comes to us as a gift from some other place. Given to us, and we, more often than not, respond with a silent thank you.

There is a creative energy, a mythic, mystic imagination that is available as a balm to our spiritual estrangement from one another

The change in light also marks a change of season in our bodies and our spirits

Most of us fail constantly to claim the truth of who we are—the beloved children of God

By allowing the song of creation to come through us, we have the power to transform the world

The world is in need of people who are not ashamed to talk about Love

The whole universe is in love with you

When we give ourselves over to the presence of another we fully find ourselves

Your body is sacred and full of possibility. It is not a block to the encountering the sacred, it is one of the most valuable paths to the sacred

The Divine is calling out to us to reject the oppression we live with, the oppression that has become normal

We live in an unconscious society that is ruled by its worship of things that are eating us alive

Joy is the sensation we feel when we are overwhelmed by our experience with connection

Prayer doesn't have to be about stripping away. It can also be about beckoning

Fall in love with the planet absolutely. This is your body. This is your blood. This is your mind and your spirit. This is the God experience.

Let us not move on from our grieving too quickly. Let us give ourselves the time to sit with what we have lost.

The inner authority comes from following your call

There is a story that sits between you and the more expansive life you know is possible. What is it?

The experience of Grace begins with saying yes

An appeal for living a religious life in an era that sees no need for it
