We’re now in “the twelve days of Christmas” period leading up to Epiphany. On this day, maybe we share a present to ourselves?
Such a present is described in the 12/20 devotional entry of Society of St. Andrew’s Advent materials:
Calm yourself; drop your focus down to your diaphragm and breathe. Inhale for four and exhale for four. Feel the moment. Only then may we quiet ourselves enough to hear the Spirit.
Mindfulness activities like above and also HERE can provide a wonderful cleansing to all Spirit’s stirring and other soul-enriching possibilities
Give yourself the present of mindfulness activities to increasingly allow for the Spirit’s stirring!
