Being aware of our surroundings and of our place in the world and thus our place in the universe is part of it. Opening ourselves to something we cannot see or quantify, seems to bring us a feeling of peace. Perhaps it is because our past lives have been such a chaotic mess that we welcome these precious moments. American poet William Stafford, was a conscientious objector during World War Two: Been on probation most of my life. And The rest of my life been condemned. So, these moments Count for a lot \u2013 peace, you know. William Stafford. Am I exploring the benefits of mindfulness? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-cyan-bluish-gray-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-e2040272a8bc5c88b984d60d8eb99767\"><strong>Prayer should be a dialogue, not a list of requests. It is quite a turning point when our communication turns from: Please give me this to: Thy will be done. It is spiritual progress, not a sign that we have reached our destination. We will not arrive there until we breathe our last. Today, I give thanks for the new relationship that I enjoy with my Higher Power.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>View VIDEO on Facebook&nbsp;&nbsp;https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/profile.php?id=A100094027278120 Follow on TikTok Videos at&nbsp;https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@recoverydays?is_from_webapp=1&amp;sender_device=p YouTube&nbsp;&nbsp;https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@Recoverydays_chRemember Mindfulness \u2013 sit comfortably Remember Mindfulness \u2013 breathe slowly Mindfulness It is difficult to describe how mindfulness works.
