When Stillness Brings Things Up, Don’t Stop | Rev. Richard Maraj

Send us Fan Mail What happens when you finally get quiet enough to hear what’s really going on inside you? Rev. Cynthia Alice Anderson welcomes longtime friend and fellow Unity minister Rev. Richard Maraj for a conversation about meditation, spiritual practice, ministry, and the transformative power of stillness. Richard shares what he learned during a 10-day silent meditation retreat, where hours of stillness began revealing patterns, thoughts, and buried emotions. His realization offers an important reminder: when difficult things begin to surface, we may think our spiritual practice isn’t working—when that may be exactly when the deeper work is beginning. Cynthia Alice and Richard also explore simple ways to bring meditation into everyday life, the power of consistency, turning moments of waiting into opportunities for connection, and the difference between knowing spiritual principles and actually living them. A warm conversation between two longtime friends about what it means to keep practicing, keep growing, and keep going within. We’d love to hear from you.
