Welcoming the Storm: Practicing Presence in Challenging Times
In this episode of the Infinitely Precious podcast, James Henry reflects on what it means to face challenging times—not with brute strength or willpower, but with presence, gentleness, and spiritual practice. Drawing from recent personal hardships, including family transitions and grief, James shares how returning to contemplative practices—like mindful dishwashing and sitting in stillness—helps him navigate life’s storms. He reminds listeners that spiritual practice isn’t about perfection or achievement but about making space to feel, breathe, and grow. In our moments of overwhelm, we are invited not to escape the pain but to name it, befriend it, and welcome it to the inner table of our lives—because even in struggle, we are infinitely precious and unconditionally loved.
