On contemplative practices.
What happens during contemplative practices?
Contemplative practices offer the experience of what it is to be a human being .... not just a human doing. Contemplation is an experiential restoration of the body/mind//spirit ... returning to one's essential state as well as interconnectedness with all of humanity.
A lot can happen as you sit with yourself in quiet. Reach has found that contemplation practices cultivate these qualities and enable you to be:
Present - tuning into what is useful in any and every given moment
Creative - the ability to tap into creative ways to find a solution and explore possibilities
Compassionate - for yourself and those around you to alleviate suffering
Resilient - the ability to withstand discomfort and challenges
Well - promotes your overall well-being
By training the mind, inspiring the spirit, and sustainable care for the body, contemplative practices cultivate the mindful awareness, compassion, and wise discernment needed to meet the demands of life.
The “Back to You” series is right around the corner if you would like to receive inspiration throughout October. Hoping you find some space to be with yourself in contemplation.
In love, light + with gratitude,
