Practicing Presence in a Contemplative Way to Access God's Healing Spiritual Energy - Featuring Jim Heaney

In "Practicing Presence in a Contemplative Way to Access God's Healing Spiritual Energy," Jim Heaney shares his insights on how practicing presence can significantly enhance our spiritual and emotional well-being. Speaking from his corporate office in Huntington Beach, California, Heaney, the founder of H-Wave, a company addressing chronic pain and rehabilitation, underscores the importance of stillness for establishing a spiritual connection and accessing God's healing energy. He emphasizes that stillness is not merely a recommendation from God but a command, serving as the foundation for developing an intimate relationship with Him.

Heaney explains that practicing presence is a contemplative action, raising our minds and hearts to God with the intention of connecting with His spiritual energy. This practice is pivotal for overcoming internal negativity caused by our reactions to life's circumstances through an unconscious mind, highlighting the role of awareness in identifying and blocking fears and conflicts.

Heaney also discusses the significant obstacles to presence, such as the overwhelming number of negative thoughts individuals entertain daily, and how these thoughts contribute to unnecessary worry and stress. He advocates for the practice of presence as a simple yet profoundly effective way to cultivate inner peace, joy, and freedom from suffering, guided by God's spiritual energy.

Moreover, Heaney introduces a free app, "Practicing Presence a Christian Way," designed to facilitate this practice and reduce resistance to meditation, making it more accessible to individuals unfamiliar with contemplative practices. He shares his personal journey and transformation through practicing presence, stressing that it must be a primary aspect of one's life, not just a morning meditation routine.

This episode offers a compelling invitation to embrace the practice of presence as a means to access God's healing spiritual energy, release fear, anxiety, and stress, and achieve a deeper, more fulfilling spiritual life.
