~Practicing a Reverent Approach~
A Retreat
A deep study of Thanks and Giving.
A Practice of casting gentle light inward to see more clearly.
The five senses,
the seven chakras energy centers of consciousness,
and the four foundations of mindfulness.
~ Thich Nhat Hanh encouraged Peace in every step. ~
~ John O’Donohue encouraged reverence in our steps so beauty would have a chance to meet us and trust us. ~
~I have spoken of cultivating the practice of Small Wonders, which precedes the Reverent Approach. ~
If we do not have eyes to see small wonders, we will not approach our moments with qualities evoking reverence.
Reverence is not something for the Holy alone. Reverence is what Blaise Pascal encouraged, when he said that we must always "keep something beautiful in the heart during challenging times."
Our times are deeply challenged by violence, poverty, greed, falsehoods, overwork, and corruption at altars of worship turned blind to spirit.
The Reverent Approach is a gentle way to return us to the small wonders of life that lend beauty, purpose, creativity and joy. Bring this to your ThanksGiving Celebrations and see how hearts soften and open. ~
