Now, yoga is her spiritual practice.“It’s about reclaiming my own inner voice, my wisdom,” Watkins said. “Our cells carry generations of practices and stories and knowledge. Yoga has helped me tap into those things for myself in a way my faith did not. I know how my body talks to me now. My body often knows things before my brain does.”

For some like Thomas McConkie, delving deeper into “yogic meditative paths” led him back to his Mormon roots. He had left the faith at 13 and stayed away for two decades.“I realized there were resonances in the depths of that practice that were calling me back home to my native tradition, to my ancestry,” he said.As he re-embraced the faith of his childhood, McConkie said he began to see a path unfold before him forged by contemplatives, such as the early Christian hermits who traversed the Egyptian desert in the 4th and 5th centuries. Eight years ago, McConkie founded Lower Lights in Salt Lake City, a community of meditators, many of whom, like him, synthesize their contemplative faith with their Mormon faith.

“In Latter-day Saint theology, all matter is spirit and all creation is actually composed of divine light,” McConkie said. “Yogic and meditative practices help us bring forth that light and live our lives in a way that glorifies the divine.”Associated Press religion coverage receives support through the AP’s

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump met with Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell on Thursday and the two discussed the economy but not Powell’s outlook for interest rates, the Fed said.Powell told Trump that the central bank would make decisions about the short-term interest rate it controls “based solely on careful, objective, and non-political analysis.” The Fed’s rate typically influences borrowing costs across the economy, including for mortgages, car loans, and business borrowing.

The meeting comes as Trump hasfor not reducing the Fed’s key interest rate, calling him “Too Late Powell.” The president initiated the meeting, the Fed said.
