INTERSPIRITUAL MEDITATION -- 9

Eighth Post on Step One of InterSpiritual Meditation: 
May we be Happy and Healthy

+ I hope you will find these quotes on AWE motivational and inspirational for you as you continue to be devoted to Meditation & Mindfulness, possibly using this InterSpiritual Meditation process:
        
      ·        “I think this is how we are supposed to be in the world 
            -- present and in awe.” -- Anne Lamott

·        “Awe is the finest portion of mankind. . . . In awe one feels profoundly the immense.” — Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

·        “Awe is what moves us forward.” -- Joseph Campbell

·        “Awe enables us to perceive in the world intimations of the Divine.” -- Abraham Joshua Heschel

·        “Journey through today with an eye for beauty. Notice the ordinary miracles that surround you. . . . Allow joy to surface. Be in awe.” — Mary Davis

+ 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 SpiritualPaths 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 purchase and read Ed's wonderful books including InterSpiritual Meditation: A Seven Step Process and Mandala: Creating an Authentic Spiritual Path -- An InterSpiritual Process.

+ 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.
