Spring is the season of renewal,
revitalization, and tracking intention and attention.
The following two suggested practices will deepen and heighten conscious
intention and attention.
Practice #1 is for outer attention
and intention:
Attend to daily activities impeccably
because it shapes the future. Our impact in the world is shaped by how we
attend to our inflow of requests through e-mail, fax, correspondence, phones
and person-to-person encounters. Be flexible and open to creative problem
solving -- not resistant to change.
Practice #2 is for internal
intention and attention:
Sitting Meditation: developing a
fair witness and managing the self-critic:
Sit in a chair or on the floor with your
eyes closed, and with your legs crossed or uncrossed. (Both Eastern and
Western Practices incorporate the bent knee or praying posture, which is
another posture used for sitting meditation.) Within this sacred time and
posture, you can ask for guidance or for ways to handle internal and external
situations with wisdom.
