CONTEMPLATION for Your Heart, Mind and Body: “Awareness of Perfection in Every Moment”

Take a few minutes and look around you. Observe what’s going on. As you observe things, activities, thoughts or feelings, start the sentence with “It is perfect that…” and then fill in the blank.

For example, I’m at Starbuck’s as a write this:

“It is perfect that I am sitting at Starbuck’s. It is perfect that I am here writing my monthly message and contemplation. It is perfect using my laptap and doing my work here. It is perfect that the every time the door opens, I feel a cold blast of winter air on my legs. It is perfect that a child is fussing. It is perfect that I feel irritation at the volume they play their music. It is perfect that I’m not sure what to write next. It is perfect…”

This can be a practice in mindfulness.
This can be a practice of appreciation or gratitude.

I find this practice particularly helpful in my life when I’m feeling challenged by a situation or a person – to find the perfection in that moment.

As you ride the train or bus to work, walk, or sit at your desk – observe your feelings, thoughts, and activities using this practice.

You can also make it a journaling practice at the end of the day. Just start writing… let it be a stream of conscious awareness on the perfection of everything that happened today.
