  • 21: Love Letter to Piranesi
    Feb 10 2026

    Piranesi is an extraordinary novel written by Susanna Clarke. It's dream-like, surreal, and strangely familiar. In this episode I talk about all the ways I loved Piranesi and draw parallels to A Course in Miracles.

    Welcome back to I Rest in God. I'm Uma — a Mind-Body Coach based in Austin, Texas. I'm a student of A Course in Miracles (ACIM) and a Unity Prayer Chaplain.

  • 20: My Favorite Prayer in A Course in Miracles
    Dec 31 2025

    Happy new year! I love the prayer from A Course in Miracles that begins with "I do not know the thing I am". It is so FREEING to not know things! Especially when the things I know sound like this: I'm bad, you're bad, the world is bad and God can't be trusted. Being wrong has never felt so good. I call this the "I know nothing" prayer and in this episode, I'll tell you all about it and why "I know nothing" is the best news ever.

  • 19: Becoming a Child Again
    Dec 25 2025

    Merry Christmas! In this episode I talk about the pattern of over responsibility. I recently had two experiences where I felt the pressure and heaviness of over responsibility lift off of me for awhile, and it was astounding. I hope to transmit some or all of that experience to you.

  • 18: God Says Yes to Me
    Nov 28 2025

    "God Says Yes to Me" is a poem by Kaylin Haught (1947-2018). In this episode I use this poem as a jumping off point to explore our relationship with God, and question the conventional view of God as judgmental and punishing. Spoiler alert: we got it all wrong.

    "God Says Yes to Me"

    I asked God if it was okay to be melodramatic
    and she said yes
    I asked her if it was okay to be short
    and she said it sure is
    I asked her if I could wear nail polish
    or not wear nail polish
    and she said honey
    she calls me that sometimes
    she said you can do just exactly
    what you want to
    Thanks God I said
    And is it even okay if I don't paragraph
    my letters
    Sweetcakes God said
    who knows where she picked that up
    what I'm telling you is
    Yes Yes Yes

  • 17: Faith is Relaxing
    Sep 30 2025

    What if faith (or trust) isn't just something we DO with our intellect, but also something we FEEL with our entire being? Theolgian James Alison talks about faith as a feeling of relaxation, the same way we relax in the presence of someone we know is fond of us. This episode is an exploration of the relationship between faith and relaxation.

  • 16: Rest Could Be Yours
    Sep 19 2025

    Helen Schucman, scribe of the Course, channeled a poem called "The Father's Love". In it, she tries to capture the breadth and depth of this unlimited divine love. My favorite line is "Rest could be yours because of what God is." In this episode, we explore what this line means, and why there is a direct relationship between rest and God.

  • 15: Continuity
    Aug 13 2025

    In this episode I discuss a poem by Helen Schucman from her book, The Gifts of God. Helen channeled A Course in Miracles, and scholars believe she channeled this book of poems as well. This particular poem — "Continuity" — is about the continuity of the Christ light. Because our very nature is eternal holiness, we have a responsibility to uplift other people and give them expressions of love. This is the message at the heart of the Course, and is reflected beautifully in "Continuity" as well.

    This is the second episode in a two episode series.
