Episode Details

In this guided Christian meditation, Brother Richard returns to the essential practice of Recovering the Form—the simple foundations that allow meditation to become a natural part of daily life.

Through gentle posture, breath awareness and relaxation, you'll learn to settle the body, observe thoughts and emotions without judgement, and rest in the deep stillness at the centre of your being. By returning regularly to these fundamentals, we strengthen the habits of attention, peace and awareness that support every stage of the contemplative journey.

Whether you're beginning your meditation practice, returning after time away, or simply seeking to deepen your daily rhythm of prayer, this meditation offers a calm and welcoming place to begin again.

Perfect for daily Christian meditation, contemplative prayer, relaxation, preparing for restful sleep, or renewing the foundations of your meditation practice.
