You, by yourself, cannot breathe. You can talk or not talk, see or not see, smile or not smile, but you cannot breathe or not breathe. Breathing is something that happens spontaneously TO you. It is the motion of that wonder- filled, extending power called God, which moves in and out of you and makes everything happen. So, take a moment now to experience your breath. Feel it rising and falling in your body. This simple technique immediately puts your awareness in your body. Next, begin to listen, no matter where you are. Most of your hearing is selective. You only listen for certain sounds, certain responses. You have trained yourselves to deaden your hearing to painful sounds and in so doing deny yourselves the fullness of life. In order to hear God you have to stop being selective and allow in ALL sound. As you go through your day, be aware of listening. Pay attention to unspecified hearing. Let sound come into you, move through you--feel--the sound moving through you and watch it with detached awareness. Relax! Do not select. Just allow. And one day, you will hear God.
