Mindfulness Practice

Does the day go by and you have forgotten to stop and pray?  Is life way too hectic?

My suggestion: if you have an iphone, ipad or android, download a mediation bell program.  I use insight timer for my ipad.

Set the timer for a 12 hour period of your day (or longer).

Set a bell to go off periodically, at least every hour but I would say every 15 or 20 minutes would be better.

When the bell goes off.  Stop, still yourself and say a prayer of thanksgiving to God (or help).

Then continue on.  It will seem a bit odd at first but then you will find yourself in rhytum where you are much more mindful of what is happening and more mindful of your relationship with God.

Try it out.  Let me know how it goes.

Almighty and eternal God, so draw our hearts to thee, so guide our minds, so fill our imaginations, so control our wills, that we may be wholly thine, utterly dedicated unto thee; and then use us, we pray thee, as thou wilt, and always to thy glory and the welfare of thy people; through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen.
