Latter-day Saints are great at getting things done. But for some, an over-emphasis on \u201cdoing\u201d can cause us to go through the motions and miss the deep, rich spiritual power that can come from being still. Sometimes, we try to dig ourselves out of feeling spiritually drained by doing more. When that doesn\u2019t work, we can feel stuck\u2014and arrive at one of two conclusions: the Church \u201cformula\u201d isn\u2019t working so it must have been wrong to begin with, or maybe something is wrong with us?<\/p>\n
There is a third alternative\u2014that our spirituality could reignite by approaching it from a more \u201cmindful\u201d place. When it feels like we\u2019re on a runaway train, mindfulness returns us to a peaceful place where we can observe our thoughts and feelings without jumping on board with them. Using Latter-day Saint vernacular and examples,\u00a0The Power of Stillness<\/span>\u00a0explores the ways in which mindfulness can deepen testimonies of the gospel. Practicing mindful principles can reinvigorate the joy inherent in our faith and helps us feel calmer, more present and engaged in our lives, and more spiritually connected to our Savior.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":99588,"template":"","meta":{"give_campaign_id":0,"_eb_attr":"","inline_featured_image":false},"product_brand":[35],"product_cat":[78],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-99577","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_brand-deseret-book","7":"product_cat-lds-beliefs","8":"product_shipping_class-united-states","9":"pa_writer-mansfield-ty","11":"first","12":"instock","13":"shipping-taxable","14":"purchasable","15":"product-type-simple"},"yoast_head":"\n
