Sitting with God: Rich Lewis on Silence, Centering Prayer & Returning to Your True Self

In this calming and soul-nourishing episode of Inner Light, we welcome Rich Lewis, author of Sitting with God and a devoted teacher of Centering Prayer. Rich invites us into the sacred space of silence—not as emptiness, but as divine presence. From his journey of discovering Centering Prayer in 2013 to publishing his book through a visualized intention, Rich shares how stillness, journaling, gratitude, and visualization help us shed limiting beliefs and realign with our true self. He explains how daily silent practice—even five minutes—can anchor you in purpose, heal your inner noise, and reignite spiritual clarity. For anyone feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or spiritually distant, this episode is a reminder that stillness is not passive—it’s transformative.
