"It is forbidden to taste of the pleasures of this world without a blessing. " --The Talmud
Pronounce a Silent Blessing
"I think that the best way to discover what pronouncing blessings is all about is to pronounce a few. The practice itself will teach you what you need to know. Start with anything you like. Even a stick lying on the ground will do. The first thing to do is to pay attention to it. [...] The more aware you become, the more blessings you will find." This beautiful passage reawakens us to the power of wishing well that we each carry within, and reminds us that when you look at the world with the intention to wish it well then everything begins to open up in a beautiful way.
BE THE CHANGE
In over 80 countries of the world today is celebrated as Mother's Day. Today reconnect with that spirit of motherly love out in the world -- and within your own heart. Do something special for a maternal figure in your own life. And to step it up -- practice holding a space of loving kindness in your heart for everyone, and everything that you encounter today.
