The experience of holding (80/100)

Close your eyes. Feel your breathing. Settle into this place.

Hold out your hand, palm up, fingers out-stretched.

Picture that issue that you are currently holding, and place it in the palm of your hand .

Is it heavy? Is it light? Does it have texture? How does it feel?

As you hold it there, what naturally happens? Do you find your fingers closing around it, holding it tighter and tighter in your grip? Does your hand seem to fall under the weight of it letting it fall to the ground? Do you let it fall by intention or by accident?

Relax. Again return to feeling the movement of your breathing. Settle back into this place.

Hold out your hand, palm up, fingers out-stretched.

Picture God gently placing in the palm of your hand that which He wants you to hold.

Does the same issue feel differently? Is this a different issue?

Listen to His voice as He speaks to you as to how you should hold this thing He has placed there.

What is He saying to you in this holding? Where is He in this setting?

What desires are stirred in you?

What is He revealing to you about His desires? His presence? His love?

Be with Him in this place. Stay here until you sense He is moving and you with Him.
