Reflection for April 2000

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.
