The sounds of silence

Episode Summary

In episode 284, I speak with author, speaker, and coach, Rich Lewis. He focuses on sitting in silence and centering prayer as a means of inner transformation. Whilst difficult for him to begin with, he knew things need to change in his life, and when he was able to sit in silence, he was directed to a new path. Now he has found a career that inspires him, and one that empowers others. All from listening for the sounds of silence. This is a wonderful conversation that will help every single person who listens, starts a 30-day practice, and is open to transformation in their life.

Episode Notes

In this deeply reflective episode, we sit down with Rich Lewis, author, speaker, and coach, to explore the power and promise of centering prayer—a meditative practice rooted in silence and stillness. Rich shares his personal journey into this contemplative tradition and how it led to profound inner transformation and spiritual awakening.

Together, we discuss the challenges and rewards of embracing silence in a noisy world, how centering prayer differs from other mindfulness practices, and how anyone—regardless of background—can begin this transformative journey. Rich also talks about his newest book, Sitting with God: A Journey To Your True Self Through Centering Prayer, and what it means to encounter the Divine in stillness.
