MINDFUL MEDITATION

So many of us are on the go all day long. It appears challenging to take time to Meditate. However, meditating is an important part of increasing our spiritual awareness.

Sometimes easing one’s way into this practice is the best approach. One simple way to begin is by being in a state of complete awareness of what you are doing at the time. For some this is like Living in the NOW.

For example: When washing dishes become aware of your hands on the dishes. Feel the soapy water. Do not allow your mind to skip ahead to the next thing you have to do. You can still multi-task ladies, but BE in each task as you are accomplishing it.

If you are at work, be totally focused on each task. As I sit at my lap top, I am totally in the feeling of the keys under my fingers. When I pause to drink tea, I am in the moments of the taste of the tea.

There are times we all allow our minds to skip ahead to attempt to accomplish tasks that need not be dealt with at the time. When we practice Mindful Meditation, we will give each task as it appears our complete attention in a calm and focused manner.

Try this for a day and see if you are calmer of mind, body and spirit by the end of the day. Then try it for another day. This will not only affect your energy, but also the energy of all those around you, then those around them…the ripple effect has begun!
