Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• I want to say the sacred phrases out loud and feel them in my body
• Just repeating a word feels disconnected from my body and my breathing stays shallow and tense

• I want to sit silently with God, but the second I try, my mind grabs onto a thought and runs
• I’ve tried repeating affirmations in my head and they fall flat
