Why contemplative practices??

In 2007, I embarked on a new journey that took me within rather than outside of myself.  I am going to share some of the things I have learned over these last years.  I always discuss, share, teach about them in the workshops, I facilitate. 

I am embarking this month on being intentional and blogging daily on each one. Although It is not listed, spiritual reading and journaling are VITAL.  Like breathing, I do this daily and consistently .  

The agenda will be as follows:

Centering Prayer

Lectio Divina , Musica Divina

Welcoming Prayer

Forgiveness Prayer

Attention /Intention

Logging

Two way Prayer

My life altered exceptionally and intensely as I began the process of learning and practicing these Spiritual Practices.

I began to unconsciously let go of  reactions to situations that use to trigger me.  This was a surprise to me.

The changes occur in daily life by the accumulation of practicing these prayer practices.   Other than Centering, I don’t practice these daily.  I utilize some on a weekly basis and some on a moment to moment basis, like the Welcoming Prayer. I will discuss as we embark.

My prayer and goal is that This will be a profound teaching and cause hunger for more of God.

I will list resources in each blog.
