Dear Family of Love and Pilgrims on Our Journey,
Happy Take Care Tuesday! I hope everyone endeavored to take care of yourselves so that you may take care of others. What's the greatest risk you have wanted to make and take as an act of faith? On tonight's episode of Belief we had the topic Acts of Faith. Acts of faith may mean many different things to many people. In the previous topics "Seekers" and "Love's Story" we have seen a gradual progression of life's pilgrimage and faith. What kind of acts of faith have drawn you closer that to God ? What kinds of acts of faith have you needed to do in hopes of a miracle? These are tonight's questions we shall ponder and dive ever more deeply into the center in hopes of being rooted in God's presence and having our heart homes warmed. Let us refresh our memory for our mindfulness and meditation practices this week:
A reminder of our suggested meditation steps for the week:
Let us start by finding a place of quiet in our home where we are away from distractions
Once we find our "Happy Place " in our home let us find a comfortable chair
Sit down gently in the chair.
Let us begin by taking a few of our deep and cleansing breaths with our eyes closed.
Think of the words that we use for our mindfulness and breathing exercises. Tonight I'm going to suggest that we do this on our own because you won't always have the guide with you.
Next we are going to do relaxation exercises from head to to by squeezing and releasing ever muscle group and some gentle stretches.Don't forget to do toe and hand wigglies.
After you have completed these steps it is time for our Mindfulness 5+ sits. We do this without moving a muscle. Let us add 5 minutes each day for the next week.
Today we are going to spend a few minutes seeking God in the quiet doing our sit.
Tomorrow and in the days to come we are going to Seek God within ourselves by meditating and going deeper into our heart homes. Seek to know and to love God more fully.
In the coming days we are going to do all three as in the title of tonight's blog along with our viewing of "Belief"
Key episode titles:
"Seeking"
"Love's Story"
"Acts of Faith"
You may meditate on these key words as well
