Christian Mindfulness
Mindfulness is a form of conscious meditation. That is, mindfulness is your mind being aware and conscious with your body and surroundings. Prayer is one-way communication to God. Christian Mindfulness is being aware of yourself and Spirit... in you and in our surroundings. Mindful presence helps you to connect, be attuned, and aware of Spirit. Once we become spiritually aware of our relationship with Spirit, some say that it is then when we are really born again. Relationship - with our faith, our environment, and ourselves.
Desiderata - origin dates to the early 1900s, believed to be by attorney Max Ehrmann.
Go placidly amid the noice & haste, & remember what peace there may be in
silence.
As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly & clearly; and listen to others, even the dull & ignorant;
they too have their story.
Avoid loud & aggressive persons; they are vexations to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain & bitter; for
always there will be greater & lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs; for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals; and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself.
Especially, do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity & disenchantment it is perennial as the grass.
Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue & loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees & the stars; you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be, and whatever your labors & aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.
With all its sham, drudgery & broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy.
Join a Circle of Faith group
If you'd like to join a "circle of faith" group, wonderful! The only requirement is that everyone meet with open minds and hearts. According to an old study by Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, there exist roughly 43,000 Christian denominations worldwide in 2012. As well, back then 2.3 denominations were being formed each day. Let us put the practices aside, and simply treat our brothers and sisters how we would like to be treated - without judgment but with love and respect. instead of searching for reasons to be different or belonging to a group of earth-bound souls, search for unity... maybe for a personal relationship with God...directly.
