I tried recording via Zoom with this episode and it didn't work out great. As a heads up, there's some sketchy audio between minutes 7 and 8 (and a few other places). I understand if it bothers you and we apologize! However we did want you to have access to our conversation even if the audio isn't perfect.

Hello, hello! Welcome to episode 31 of the Waterworks Podcast! We're in season 3, how to be a badass joy enthusiast!
Here are some resources for you if you're unfamiliar with centering prayer and imaginative prayer.
Centering Prayer
- Contemplative Outreach has a centering prayer app that is great. It outlines briefly the four guidelines for centering prayer, offers poems and scripture for opening and closing the prayer time, and has a timer where you can select the beginning and ending chimes. You can get more information on CP from www.contemplativeoutreach.org.
- Cynthia Bourgeault wrote a book on centering prayer titled Centering Prayer and Inner Awakening that I found helpful.
Imaginative Prayer
- https://www.ignatianspirituality.com/ignatian-prayer/the-spiritual-exercises/ignatian-contemplation-imaginative-prayer
Other Books mentioned are Ruth Haley Barton's Sacred Rhythms and Richard Foster's Celebration of Discipline. Both mention stillness and/or silence and how important it is to create space for stillness.

Hello Waterworks Ministries Podcast Listeners! Here is podcast #3 with iconographer Jody Cole. Jody has an amazing depth and breadth of knowledge about many spiritual topics, and it was a pleasure to interview her for this podcast. I have written icons for friends and family since taking an icon writing workshop in 2011 with Jody, and it is a centering and calming way of prayer for me. May you be blessed by hearing from Jody about an ancient way of prayer.
You can reach Jody through www.jcoleicons.com. You can view different icons, see workshops, and learn more about Jody on her website.
Grace and Peace Friends!
