The Art (and Wisdom) of Sitting Quietly
In this episode, my guest is Dr. Brian Russell, the author of Centering Prayer. The episode is a recent recording from our last virtual meetup on The Art (and Wisdom) of Contemplative Practices, which was part of our Perennial Habits course. Brian is a professor of biblical studies and a transformational coach for pastors and spiritually-minded professionals.

In the conversation, Brian and I discuss,
The benefits of stillness practices
Knowing ourselves
The challenges of sitting quietly
Centering prayer (and the four R’s)
The Art of Acceptance
Knowing what matters in life and much more
Some of you may already be familiar with Brian; he is a previous guest on In Search of Wisdom, where we’ve explored centering prayer, forgiveness, discernment, and other topics. Although the episode focuses mainly on the Christian contemplative practice of centering prayer, many of the ideas and strategies discussed are helpful across stillness practices and traditions.
