Everywhere, Everywhere we find the delights of the Divine. We need not feel that we must be anywhere in particular to connect with the Divine essence of God.
Connecting with God is as simple as closing ones eyes and taking in a nice deep breath and then releasing that breath.
We need not wait to connect to God within the walls of a church, temple, Gurdwara, or Mosque. We can connect with the Divine God through simply stepping outside our homes and taking in some fresh air. Picking up a leaf in the park, giving someone a smile or a hug, we can see the spark of God in a child's eyes, and if we look in a mirror, that same spark is in our eyes too!
Go to the Ocean, and scoop up some water out of the ocean into your hand and then gently allow the water to drip back into the great Ocean..........This is a very simple exercise, however it is one that we can do that may help us understand how easy it is to reconnect with the Divine.
- Visualize the vast Ocean as the Divine and the drops the individual self.
- Now as you return the water back to the Ocean see yourself merging into that vast Ocean.
- This is our connection we make with the Divine.
Only know that Drop is never separate from the Divine in the first place, it to is the Divine Essence of God.
Meaning of the word: Namaste
I honor the Divine in you that also resides within me.
Other ways to stay and feel connected with the Divine:
- Chant the name of the Divine while you are cooking, cleaning, or even at the office, or even walking to the post office, or as you are driving in traffic.
- Say a little prayer for yourself, a loved one, even someone you do not know, the world.
- Inhale the word 'Sat' and Exhale the word 'Nam' - hear the words silently to yourself or if you like you can say them out loud and let go of your breath as your breath will go in rhythm with the words.
- Meditate silently with yourself, focusing on your breath or a mantra.
- Go for a nice walk early morning and watch the sunrise or in the evening after dinner
- Read your favorite scriptures or books or audios that remind you of the Divine
- Read a favorite poem, sing a favorite song that moves you
- Do some Gentle yogic asanas (postures)
There are many ways to connect with that Divine nature. We never are disconnected in the first place, it is just a matter re-awakening ourselves to this sacred connection.
Feel free to list your favorite ways to connect with the Divine.
