Finding Peace and Purpose: Rich Lewis on Centering Prayer

Join Baba Sam, 'the Miracle Man,' on Vibrant Soul Society - The Conversations, where he hosts Rich Lewis. Rich shares his transformative journey with centering prayer, a meditative practice he discovered in 2013 through the book 'Healing the Divide' by A. Smith. Rich explains how centering prayer, developed by three Trappist monks in the 1970s, helps individuals connect with their true selves and deepen their relationship with God. They discuss the practice's benefits, from increased confidence to improved focus and well-being. Rich also emphasizes the importance of journaling in conjunction with centering prayer to achieve clarity and self-awareness. Whether you are new to meditation or seeking to deepen your spiritual life, this episode offers practical insights and encouragement to explore Centering Prayer.

I'm your host, Baba Sam Shelley, known as The Miracle Man. After enduring 38 years of multiple sclerosis, bipolar disorder, migraines, and several other so-called "incurable" chronic illnesses, I became frustrated with being sick and tired. I discovered a path to inner peace that led to a miraculous and spontaneous healing. Today, I am free from disease and disability.

My mission is to empower individuals with chronic illnesses to rise above their 'incurable' diagnoses and discover their inner healer, leading to a vibrant and joyful life. I founded the Vibrant Soul Society, Beyond Head Trash, and the Inner Healer School. I have appeared on numerous podcasts and TV shows. I am the author of two books.
