I Want To Feel Better - Inside & Out
How
Can I Live a Sacred Life?
Sacredness usually refers to something that
is revered or worshipped, but it can also refer to a state
of being or living. Would you consider your life to be sacred?
Of course, the fact that you are alive is probably sacred to
you, but I’m referring more to your every waking moment. Do
you live with reverence and awareness, or do you rush around
blindly day after day, missing out on many of the beautiful
moments of your life?
With all of our modern conveniences and gadgets, it’s easy
to get stuck in a state of “busyness” and forget all about
sacredness. However, embracing this gentle state of being and
making it a part of your everyday life can soothe even the
most persistent stress and chaos, while infusing each moment
with spiritual power and meaning.
Below you’ll find three simple ways to turn your life into
a sacred journey:
1.
Pause.
If
you spend the majority of your time in overdrive, it’s no
wonder you can’t sense the sacredness in your life.
You keep blowing right past it! Instead, get into the habit
of pausing periodically throughout your day. During this
pause (which can be as short as a few seconds), take a moment
to
breathe, let go of stress, and connect with your spirit.
2.
Awaken.
Do
you ever feel like you’re living much of your life in a heavy
fog? You may feel scattered, stressed, confused
or disconnected. This is a sign that you are living your
life on autopilot. Autopilot can be helpful at times, but
in order
to embrace a deeper experience of sacredness in your life
you’ll need to awaken your awareness of spirit. You can do
this during
the pauses mentioned above, or make it a complete exercise
all its own. Simply stop whatever you’re doing several times
throughout the day and expand your awareness. Become aware
of yourself as a spiritual being living in a physical body,
and the people around you doing the same. Become aware of
the world and universe around you, and your place in them
– keeping
in mind that this is a magnificent journey you are experiencing!
3.
Enjoy.
While
you’re pausing and awakening, also be sure to take time to
enjoy everything you do, see and experience.
Rather than gulping down your coffee in the morning, sip
it slowly and savor the taste. Rather than fuming as you
sit in
a traffic jam on the freeway, gaze up at the clouds and marvel
at their beauty. When you embrace your spouse, make it a
full mental and spiritual experience rather than just using
your
arms. Fall into the embrace and immerse yourself in the sensation
of being connected and loved by another.
If you do these three things on a regular basis, your entire
life will seem to shift in dramatic ways. The world around
you will suddenly seem softer, quieter and more beautiful.
The people you encounter each day will seem kinder and more
respectful, and your life will become serene, spiritual and
meaningful.
