8. Selah
Take off your shoes, this is holy ground! God desires for us to live in bodies that feel safe and loved. Selah is an ancient word from poetry and we see it in the Psalms. Emily developed a Selah practice with five steps to make space for self care using God's words as a guide.
Pause. Feel. Turn. Receive. Flourish!
We hope you can be aware of how your body is holding sorrows, trauma, negative feelings, and make space between that emotion and response. This could change the world! If all of us could feel an emotion, have enough awareness to do this kind of pause before we react - so much harm would be taken out of our world.
To add to your experience.. we suggest on a different device, you play your favorite calming or worship music and be ready to literally pause this episode anytime you want more of what we are guiding you through!
May you be blessed by this interactive episode!
If you're interested in a music playlist to play on a separate device while doing Selah, you can follow "Selah" on Spotify created by EmilyAliceBaker.
