Blessing and joy


The following quotation is really describing the act of blessing as a meditative support. We are being encouraged here to bless as a remedy for distractions. Very interesting indeed:

As our awareness of blessing grows, so does our joy. When we bless something, we center our attention on a very holy moment, for the power of blessing will tend to focus our mind, regardless of where it may have been wandering. We are brought to joy.

  2. It always surprises me that nearly all (all that I am familiar with) religious traditions have some form of meditative tradition. Such a fascinating common denominator.
