Experiencing Oneness In A Divided World

Approved! A Mindfulness Milestone

Have you seen that ad (it might just be in Canada) where someone applies for credit, and before they can even say a word, the person behind the desk smiles and says, “Approved!”? That’s exactly how I felt when I found out my mindfulness meditation on Insight Timer was approved.


If you’re not familiar with Insight Timer, it’s one of the world’s most popular meditation apps. It offers a huge library of guided meditations, talks, music, and courses—all designed to support mindfulness, relaxation, and personal growth. It’s like having a pocketful of peace you can access anytime, anywhere. And the best part? Many of its resources, including my meditation, are completely free.


Experiencing Oneness in a Divided World

The meditation I created is called Experiencing Oneness in a Divided World. In it, we explore a deep and comforting truth: that everything is connected.


You’ll be guided to soften the barriers that keep us separate, let go of attachments that no longer serve you, and begin to see others with greater compassion. Together, we’ll reflect on the energy we bring into the world and consider how we can consciously choose love over division.


This practice is an invitation to return to your heart—the place where peace and connection begin. Whether you’re feeling disconnected or simply want to anchor yourself in a sense of belonging, this meditation will help you remember that you are never alone.


I’d love for you to give it a try and let me know how it resonates with you. May it bring you peace, connection, and a deeper sense of oneness in the world.

As I venture out this morning, I'm thinking about the Mary Oliver poem, wild Geese, where she says, “You do not have to be good. You do not have to walk on your knees for a hundred miles through the desert repenting. You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves.

For a period in my life I used to go to a particular place in a park not far from my house to meditate and pray. It was the beginning of a practice that I continue to practice to this very day, although this post is about a time when I took a break.

Our daughter Jess gifted me with a poem today. She says... Wrapping up my last few days on the coast for now… it’s been so amazing to get so much “normal” time with my family, and one of my favorite things is morning walks with dad. His practice of noticing and of being quiet enough in spirit to notice the minute details is always a gift.

I am contemplating emptiness this morning which I know sends cautionary shivers down the spines of some Christians. I was warned about this by a "well-meaning" Christian on the weekend when I used the word emptiness at a retreat I was co-leading.

Are sounds like this (birdsong, babbling brooks) meant to touch our souls? I think they are.

My existential question for the morning is, how do I practice healthy spirituality?
