“I am often asked for at-home resources that will help cultivate rhythms of whole-body listening prayer. Whitney’s guide pioneers the marrying of ancient practices that create intentional awareness of God’s intersection with our entire humanness: body, breath, and God’s Spirit in us. This book is a treasure!”
