INTERSPIRITUAL MEDITATION -- 7

Sixth Post on Step One of InterSpiritual Meditation:

May we be Happy and Healthy

+ Here is a practice I have created and I use to begin Meditating and to return to Mindfulness during the day: 

If your practice is Centering Prayer you may want to say your Sacred Word for each breath.

 Breathe Deeply (Exhale)

Breathe Fully (Inhale

+ 

Be Still (Exhale)

Be Silent (Inhale)

 +

Be Centered (Exhale)

Be Grounded (Inhale)

 +

Lighten Up (Exhale)

Loosen Up (Inhale)

 +

Let Go (Exhale)

Let God (Inhale)

 +

Celebrate (Exhale)

Enjoy (Inhale)

 +

Be Grateful (Exhale)

Be Glad All Over (Inhale)

Something Wonderful is Happening (Exhale)

This is Bliss (Inhale & Exhale)

+ This is a series of posts on InterSpiritual Meditation: A Seven Step Process created by Dr. Edward Bastian. I am an InterSpiritual Mentor certified by Spiritual Paths Institute which Ed established. In these posts I will offer reflections of mine and others on each of the steps which are:  

1. Motivation: “May we be Happy and Healthy.”
2. Gratitude: “May we be Grateful for Life’s Many Gifts.”
3. Transformation: “May we be Transformed into Our Highest Being.”
4. Compassion:“May we be Loving and Compassionate.”
5. Mindfulness: “May we be Mindful through Our Breathing.”
6. Wisdom: “May we Become Wise through our Meditation.”
7. Service: “May we be in Service to All.”

 + I invite you to consider taking a comprehensive e-course on InterSpiritual Meditation offered by Spiritual Paths.net.  The course is always available but periodically it is taught via Zoom by Ed and other teachers as an 8-week course with group participation. Next one starts on January 18, 2023 at 7pm EST.

 + I invite you to read Ed’s wonderful InterSpiritual books including InterSpiritual Meditation: A Seven Step Process and Mandala: Creating an Authentic Spiritual Path – An InterSpiritual Process.
