What brings you bliss? Being with my mom brings me bliss. Today I was able to spend a few hours with my mom- my heart and soul now filled up once again with the love of a mother's love. She is also my best friend and we have shared some deep conversation as well as many times we laughed so hard our stomachs hurt- I love those times the most.
She gave me this gift today of "Bliss in a Box." What a great idea! Author, Susan Piver created this little weekend contemplative retreat (in a box) to use at home. It contains:
- 2 audio compact discs with yoga practices on it and 3 meditation practices
- 60 flash cards that contain helpful checklists, tips for preparing for the program, contemplation questions to journal about, and yoga cards that show each post taught on the CD audios.
- 64-page booklet with a complete overview of each program day and backgrounds on the practices contained in the program.
What a creative idea, huh? It made me wish I had thought of it! But I shall enjoy using my Bliss in a Box and who knows what I may come up with after doing so.
I think so often we don't find the time to sit long enough and really think about what truly does bring us bliss. I know for me, bliss is quite simple. Finding time to be with my mom, walks with my dogs, cozy weekends with John, and meaningful work-- all blissful things to me. Blissful moments lead to a blissful life... and oh how I love living my bliss.
What brings you bliss?
