Christian Mindfulness
Part 2
God invites us into holiness and wholeness
Christian mindfulness points towards God.
It is a path to freedom and creates space for us to be touched by God’s loving presence.
In this course we will invite you to turn towards God in the present moment, let love in and allow God to change you.
Then you will be cleansed of selfishness and take on more and more attributes of love.
You become renewed in the image of God and learn to know better the one who is love.
