Narrated by: Shereen Yusuff, Andreas Kramarz LC

Discover the power of breathing to draw closer to God. This step-by-step guide offers healing for your body and soul—and it all begins with your next breath.

“Shereen’s journey is amazing, led by the wind, the carrier of God’s holiness. Keep on, Shereen, serene and clear, strong and humble.”—Wim Hof, the Iceman

Each breath is an invitation and an opportunity to rediscover we are meant for more than mere survival: we are meant to be alive. When God filled us with His own breath, He chose our lungs to hold us together as body and soul, creatures who are miraculously the very dwelling place of the Holy Spirit. And yet we often live divided, disconnected from ourselves, our bodies, and Godʼs presence within us. But there is another way.

In Seeking the Spirit Within, Shereen Yusuff, a certified breath and movement coach and Benedictine oblate, offers exercises that teach readers anew to pay attention, breathe, and pray. She demonstrates that itʼs impossible to care for the body without caring for the soul and that the deepest source of our healing is Christ in us.

Each chapter of the book carefully guides readers in a practice of spiritual reflections inspired by Scripture, breathing and attention exercises, and reflection questions. With Yusuff's guidance, readers will

• understand the scientific and spiritual reasons why intentional breathing is both physically and spiritually healing
• practice self-examination
• grow comfortable with discomfort
• learn to rest more deeply
• connect with Godʼs infinite love

Seeking the Spirit Within is for any reader yearning for intimacy with God and a seamless integration of physical and spiritual wellness.
