Simplicity Eat Mindfully

Mindful eating is healthier for us than eating with distractions. How do your eating experiences differ when practicing mindfulness?

I am able to appreciate what I am eating and I feel like I can really taste it. Life just seems slower and easier. I am much my present and focused on just eating instead of diverting my attention elsewhere.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Nature Enjoy the Sunrise/Sunset

Father Thomas Berry says, "... our primary purpose is celebration. Celebration of the dawn and the sunset and the different seasons of the year is a religious ritual, a way in which humans can establish their integral relationship with the universe, with the planet Earth." What is your response to Berry's assertion?

Ani Draper 10/18/2020 11:48 AM

I understand the connection that he is talking about. I feel like I am connected to something so much greater. I am experiencing what people across the midwest are seeing too. We become almost one.

Nature Go for a Daily Walk

How do you experience your neighborhood or city differently when walking instead of driving?

Ani Draper 10/10/2020 12:45 PM

I see people. I feel like I connect to people more. I can hear them, smell them (not in a creepy way I promise) and feel emotions. I smell the smells of gas, plants, food, (all the unpleasant smells), I feel the business or calmness. everything becomes more personal.
