A Place for God
Every major religion has some form of spiritual practice of
attention or mindfulness. Whether it is meditation or simple
awareness, spiritual depth occurs when there is focus and
singularity.
The number of possessions that we have, the
amount of material goods that fill our lives, the clutter that
seems to gather all around our living areas, crowd out
attention and focus.
Our minds, thoughts, energies are
dispersed in myriad directions, and in the cacophony of
competing claims on us, we cannot seem to find our center, our
sense of clarity, our touch with the sacred, our experience of
God.
One way that I have helped people begin to reclaim that holy
core that exists within us is to lead them through the process
of creating a simple space within their own home where what
is divine may be drawn out.
