This is a unique guided meditation experience that I put together inspired by the Catholic saint, Ignatius of Loyola and his Spiritual Exercises. It was crafted specifically for those with ADHD that may struggle with focusing through an entire meditation.
But even if you don't have ADHD and you've struggled with meditation - or prayer in general - because you are easily distracted and have trouble focusing, this is for YOU!
I have set the sounds of nature to lofi style chord loops and then added some ambient atmosphere to create a very special contemplative Catholic practice.

In the style of St. Ignatius, but with my own twist in an effort to make it easier to enter in and stay focused.

In this episode, I talk about the difference between specific, intentional prayer time that is purposefully set aside and spontaneous, off-the-cuff prayers we pray throughout the day.
#unpopularopinion Specifically that we must have specific prayer in our lives. Spontaneous prayers just won't cut it on their own.

In this episode, I talk about what indulgences are, what they are not, and how we can take holy advantage of them. I also talk about the Sacrament of Confession and ways that we grow in holiness so that we can skip Purgatory and go straight to heaven when we die.
