I feel incredibly humbled to even speak about something as vast, intimate, and mysterious as God. To talk about your relationship with God takes the conversation to an even deeper level. It is such a profoundly personal experience. How could anyone know exactly what you need in order to develop a more intimate relationship with the Divine? I can only speak from my own journey, through the lens of my experiences, and from an open, surrendered heart that continues to reveal more layers of truth.
"When you remain without thoughts, the reality will reveal itself to you." —Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
A sweet, deep, heartfelt relationship with God is not something reserved for saints, monks, or mystics meditating in Himalayan caves. It is not found in kneeling on cold church floors or bowing in golden Buddhist temples, hoping to catch a fleeting glimpse of grace through sacred walls. The true temple is already within you. Your body is the temple and the altar is your heart. When we awaken to this truth, every breath becomes an embodied prayer. Even when we forget and resist its grace, something deeper within us always stirs, remembers, and returns home.
The God Source can only be discovered in the innermost sanctuary of your being. Where else could it reach you? Your body is the bridge that closes the illusion of separation between your physical and spiritual self. This connection reveals itself in the stillness, in those rare moments when we finally stop running, striving, or trying to become someone we think we are not.
When any human being summons the courage and focus to stop chasing the next thought, the next desire, or even the next meal for just 12 to 24 hours, they fall into something profoundly real and honest. Our connection to the Divine is the most intimate and honest relationship we can have with ourselves, and it is the connection we crave the most. The incredible thing is that it is already here, resting between our thoughts, just behind this very next breath.
The issue has never been about distance or worthiness. The true challenge in finding God lies in how we perceive this present moment. We do not need more teachings to gain clarity. We do not need to become more evolved or even more devoted. What we truly need is a radical surrender to our direct experience of what is here now.
"Be still and know the sacred is not far, but resting in the marrow of your being." —Anandamayi Ma
There came a moment in my life when I realized it was absolutely futile to keep searching for happiness outside myself. There is only so much hopelessness we can bear before something breaks open, the search dissolves, and a deeper listening begins. It is in this quality of listening that the most sacred silence and peaceful stillness arise from the depths of our own being. This is when the real relationship with God begins. It is not born through ritual or performance but through a direct and simple reunion with the stillness of your soul.
In this quiet space within, I discovered five enlightening actions that opened this doorway even wider. These practices worked from the moment I first embraced them, and they continue to deepen my connection with the Divine every single day. These five sacred actions are how you can instantly deepen your relationship with God and watch your soul come into full bloom.
You will not discover them by striving or searching but by surrender and stillness. They revealed themselves to me through devotion, through the willingness to sit with silence, and through the courage to let go of control. They have taught me that God is already here, loving me from the inside out.
These five actions are not meant to push you, define you, or demand anything that feels unnatural. They do the opposite. They bring deep comfort and reach the core of your soul in the most intimate way. I am curious how they will move through you, soften your being, and guide your life inward.
These five practices are so sacred to me that I choose to share them only with those who feel truly called to join our community. I know this may feel like a limitation, but my deepest intention is to create a space of real connection and transformation. I have enabled free subscribers to use their single-access unlock for this paywalled content because I want you to experience for yourself how profoundly these five simple actions can open the door to God. They ask only for your honesty, humility, and wholehearted surrender. When you practice them with an open heart, they will not just shift something, they will transform everything.
Here they are…
