WE ARE EXPLORING THE PRACTICE OF HEAVENLINESS
+ Continuing with the 12 styles of the Mandala
process, we are exploring the style of the Body.
+ This physical
body serves not only as our means for participating in the world, but also as
the primary channel for our contact with the present moment. Our thoughts and
emotions tend to hop around in space and time, anticipating future events and
remembering the past. However, our body remains tied to the present, affording
a ready-made base for us in the here and now.
+ Joseph Naft offers an abundance of wisdom on the
connection of body and soul in his illuminating books and his wonderful
website, Inner Frontier. I
mention him here because in his weekly Inner Work posts he frequently gives practical guidance on
increasing our breath and body awareness since he believes this is the key to
the essential spiritual work of being present.
+ We explored the Journey of the Body practices of solitude, devotion and holiness in SE posts 105 to 160.
+ The 12 styles of Mandala: Creating An Authentic Spiritual Path: An InterSpiritual Process by Edward Bastian are listed in SE206.
