Full Catastrophe Living, in 3-D

I’m not the only one who has said in recent weeks that this feels like a movie – but one we’re living. I’ve personally always loved disaster movies – even the ones with cheesy scenes of the hero rescuing his sweetheart from a top of a disintegrating skyscraper.  But what if you’re the one on…

A mindfulness revolution has swept over America in recent decades—inviting people to slow down, stop more, and cultivate more stillness and silence in their lives. Many Latter-day Saints are finding that principles of mindfulness improve their relationships with family and God, and strengthen their commitment to living the restored gospel.

The Power of Stillness: Mindful Living for Latter-day Saints

By Jacob Z. Hess, Carrie L. Skarda, Kyle D. Anderson, Ty R. Mansfield

The co-authors of a forthcoming book on mindful living for Latter-day Saints have each felt separate nudges to consider a text to explore the mindfulness/Mormonism interface for some time. Although they’ve relished many popular treatments of the topic, including those exploring applications toward a more contemplative Christianity, they’ve also found their texts to be variously foreign to many Latter-day Saint ears. They’ve long desired an exploration that would feel more accessible to our own Latter-day Saint community, communicating insights from contemplative/mindful practice in a way that enhances faith in, and experience with, the restored gospel of Jesus Christ.

The Consolation of Creativity

I used to grimace whenever I heard someone say they were dancing or shooting hoops for Jesus. That’s a cruel thing, I think. And I couldn’t help myself. I wish I could have… Even when I firmly believe there is no purer form of worship than creatively performing one’s personal devotion to the Lord, it…

Watch with Me

Christ was divine, a strong visionary leader, a healer of others… we really don’t think of Him as needing help. But there, in the painfully dark night at the Garden of Gethsemane, he asks his friends, “watch with me.” Christ demonstrates that it’s okay to ask for help. If the Savior was allowed to be…
