Do not change your beliefs because you want other people to change theirs.
God Pillow
Change your beliefs because your new beliefs announce more accurately who you are.
Yet even as you change, do not be surprised if other people change, and if the world around you changes. For the change in you will act as a catalyst in producing change in others. Not because you have sought to produce change in others, but, more probably, because you have not.
People do not change because they are told to change. People may temporarily alter their behavior because they have been told to do so by those who have power over them, but that is not real change. That is merely a surface shift of outward demeanor. Inner truth has not shifted. As soon as the power over them has been lifted, or can no longer be exerted, people’s behavior returns to that which is motivated by their inner truth.
Prayer: Lord, help me change my thoughts and actions, Guide me to find your voice in the quiet time of my day. Help me find my inner truth, with your help so I can of maximum service to you, myself and others.

What is Centering Prayer

Centering prayer as a discipline is designed to withdraw our attention from the ordinary flow of our thoughts. We tend to identify ourselves with that flow. But there is a deeper part of ourselves.
God Pillow
This prayer opens our awareness to the spiritual level of our being. This level might be compared to a great river on which our memories, images, feelings, inner experiences, and the awareness of outward things are resting.
Many people are so identified with the ordinary flow of their thoughts and feelings that they are not aware of the source from which these mental objects are emerging. Like boats or debris floating along the surface of a river, our thoughts and feelings must be resting on something.
They are resting on the inner stream of consciousness, which is our participation in God’s being. That level is not immediately evident to ordinary consciousness. Since we are not in immediate contact with that level, we have to do something to develop our awareness of it. It is the level of our being that makes us most human. The values that we find there are more delightful than the values that float along the surface of the psyche.
We need to refresh ourselves at this deep level every day. Just as we need exercise, food, rest and sleep, so also we need moments of interior silence because they bring the deepest kind of refreshment. pg 35 Open Mind, Open Heart, Thomas Keating.

- God Pillow
Taking the time to experience silence calms the mind and rejuvenates the body. Silence is the void where we can hear the many sounds that we often ignore, the voice of God telling us the truth. That is what we are all about…finding the silence that is already there, hearing God’s voice to be inspired to be the best version of ourselves. We embrace all walks of people who want to continue their Spiritual Journey. On the following pages you will find tools and gentle reminders to aid you, whether you are in a Twelve Step program of Recovery, have a loss of a loved one or want to give appreciation to someone who has touched your life.
We encourage you to become a part of our Community, to expand the awareness that we are not alone, and to help find peace within ourselves and in the world.
