Practicing basic spiritual exercises is to living what practicing scales is to making music. Just as practicing scales improves our ability to make music, practicing basic spiritual exercises improves our ability to create the art of spirit-centered lives.
While practicing scales is more like preparing to make music than actually making music, practicing basic spiritual exercises is not preparing for spirit-centered living. It is spirit-centered living.
The basic exercises I share with you are those that are helpful to me. If they're not for everybody, that's okay. Anyone can experiment and create practices that help themselves.
The two fundamental exercises are-
Mindfulness of our own spirit
Mindfulness of the spirit of others
In my next post I will present directions on how to be mindful of our own spirit.
