In our last episode, we explored the profound connection found through prayer and how a simple daily habit between me and my mom turned into a practice of faith and intention. This week, thanks to feedback from a Strider, we’re going deeper into faith-based practices.
Have you ever wondered about the differences—and the similarities—between prayer, meditation and manifestation? In this episode I’ll break down these three concepts and how each one connects us to ourselves, our intentions and something bigger. Get ready to reflect, realign and discover new ways to bring these practices into your daily life as we go on this Wise Walk together.

In this episode:
[04:06] I love how this question got me thinking about how I apply (or can apply) meditation, manifestation, and prayer into my life.
[05:23] With prayer we’re looking to a higher power. In meditation, we have complete trust in ourselves.
[06:25] Manifestation directs faith internally, because it’s our action for framing positive thoughts and intention in a way to attract that thing we are seeking.
[07:09] All three of these practices involve faith.
[10:06] When I incorporate these things into my life some of them are proactive and some are reactive.
[11:11] I can use prayer in a variety of forms, even when I’m teaching yoga.
[12:01] Meditation is very grounding for me. I direct my faith inward and create stillness in the moment.
[12:45] I incorporate manifestation when I feel my heartstrings getting pulled in a direction, and there’s something specific I’m working on or working towards.
