Week 5: Wisdom Hour

Pause in the midst of daily life: Dopamine Menu, breath prayers, songs, journal prompts. Practice of Contemplative Pauses

Opening Meditation

“Love makes us real. Love creates us and sustains us in the process of realizing who we already are. Love breathes us into being...God is divine breath breathing.

Humanity is divine breath breathed. How do we separate divine breath breathing from divine breath breathed?

They are neither quite the same, nor are they completely different.

Becoming Real is a process.”

Martin Laird, ~ Ocean of Light

Silence

Be still and aware of God’s presence within and all around.

(Borrowed from John Phillip Newell, Celtic Benediction).
