Seeking the Spirit Within
by Shereen Yusuff
Discover the power of breathing to bring you closer to God. This step-by-step guide offers healing for your body and soul—and it could all start with your next breath.
Each breath is an invitation. Every inhale and exhale is an opportunity to rediscover that we are meant for more than mere bodily survival: we are meant to be alive. In the beginning, when God filled our lungs with His own breath, He chose our lungs to hold us together as body and soul, as organisms who are also miraculously the very dwelling place of God's Holy Spirit. And yet, we often live divided: disconnected from ourselves, our bodies, and the presence of God within us. But there is another way.
In Seeking the Spirit Within, Shereen Yusuff, certified breath and movement coach and Benedictine oblate, offers step-by-step exercises to teach readers anew how to pay attention, how to breathe, and how to pray. Along the way, Yusuff shows that it is impossible to care for the body without caring for the soul, and that the deepest source of our healing is Christ's presence within us.
Each chapter of the book carefully guides readers in a practice of spiritual reflections arising from Scripture, breathing and attention exercises, and reflection questions. With Yusuff's guidance, readers will:
Understand the scientific and spiritual reasons why intentional breathing is physically and spiritually healing
Practice self-examination
Grow comfortable with discomfort
Learn how to rest more deeply
Connect with the infinite love of God
Seeking the Spirit Within is for any reader yearning for intimacy with God and seamless integration of physical and spiritual well-being.
