Respond in slow motion

Greetings Beloved Ones,

There is a spiritual practice called "Mindfulness" in which you bring your full awareness to everything you do. And so, you practice by doing everything in slow motion. You walk slow, being mindful of every step, feeling the pressure of each toe as it touches the ground. You brush you teeth in slow motion, chew every morsel of food with conscious awareness.

This practice helps you bring conscious forethought to your actions, choices, and responses. You are present for your life! You aren't rushing through unconsciously!

. How can you tell when you are on automatic pilot?
. Have you ever driven home and don't really recall how you got there? Or, have you done something similar that demonstrated unconscious activity on your part?
. How often do you change your routines?

Have a mindful day!
Rev. Sylvia
