Welcome,
Friends.
In today's morning mindset,
Let's set the intention of being present throughout our day by becoming aware of our hands.
So often through our days,
We fall into the familiar patterns of living,
Which is to say,
Living unconsciously.
But we can wake up just a little bit by remembering to be present.
One way to do this is to remember to be aware of our hands.
We can use a common cue as a reminder.
Intend each time we interact with another,
Speak with our priest,
Send a work email,
Answer a phone call,
To remember to become aware of our hands.
Where are they now?
How are they feeling within this sphere of our present awareness?
These moments of presence will naturally give rise to a greater sense of well-being,
Which may well translate to greater acts of kindness.
Experienced many times throughout the day,
It's like experiencing many sunbreaks on a cloudy day.
So for today,
Let's try to remember to rise up out of the flow of our unconscious living using a simple technique.
Whenever we interact with another,
Let's remember to be aware of our hands,
How they feel and where they are in our present awareness.
In so doing,
Become just a little more conscious.
Have a beautiful day.
