Linda J - Practices to embody reverence for life - Still Water Sangha

 Linda J offering ideas of holding Mindfulness Training on Reverence for life: 

"Here are some of my aspirations and practices to embody reverence for life." - 
(CSL: in boldface) 
  • Maintain awareness of those who are suffering around the world. Seek ways to protect life and reduce suffering for all. Support efforts to bring aid and end wars. 
    • consider the mission of United Nations

  • Engage with clerks, strangers, and neighbors in ways that communicate respect and connection.
    • Elderly in transition, phone calls, catching up

  • Practice metta meditation for all people, all creation.

  • Make space in my life and my mind for awe. Pause through the day to really see and really feel the amazing creations of Mother Earth. Bow, with my whole heart, in reverence. 
    • murmurations

  • Start anew each morning, noticing when I am taking people or creation for granted. Wake up (again and again) to the wonder of being alive.
    • the 'wow' factor every morning

  • Have reverence for my own body and consciousness.
    • yoga, somatics, breathwork
