This episode will guide you through recognizing and nurturing that divine spark in your life—whether in love, in career, or in your spiritual walk.
 
Close your eyes for a moment and take deep loving breaths in and out. Breathe deeply through the nose, hold and exhale out through the mouth, forming an O shape with your lips. Once more like that, deep inhale through the nose, hold and out through your mouth. Do this a couple times more at your own pace. Now, Imagine standing in the dark, a single ember glowing in your chest. It's golden, with a beautiful blue at the core, Slowly, the ember catches fire, spreads throughout your body, filling you with warmth, passion, and clarity. This is the Holy Spirit’s spark—God’s way of nudging you in the right direction.
When have you felt this before? Maybe it was when you met someone who felt like home, when you pursued a dream that set your soul on fire, or when you took a leap of faith, trusting that God was leading you. That gut feeling—that is His voice, His presence.
