    A Blessing for the Senses

    “May your body be blessed.

    May you realize that your body is a faithful and beautiful friend of your soul.

    And may you be peaceful and joyful and recognize that your senses are sacred thresholds.

    May you realize that holiness is mindful, gazing, feeling, hearing, and touching.

    May your senses gather you and bring you home.

    May your senses always enable you to celebrate the universe and the mystery and possibilities in your presence here.

    May the Eros of the Earth bless you.”

    Perceptions

    by Beth Haley

    What we concentrate on and what we perceive is what creates our reality, not just the events themselves. As we begin to look at things more through the eyes of beauty, we begin to see more beauty in our lives.

    It is the same in choosing to see limitations: we begin to see limitations everywhere.

    With our basic senses, we notice sound, smell, touch, taste, and sight. Perception is how we interpret what we sense. But, perception is not only what our senses recognize. Perception is also how we choose to see things and that determines how we respond to the information.

    Our perceptions shape our reality. As we shift perceptions, we also shift our reality.

    Is the glass half full or half empty?

    You get to decide.
