Get into a comfortable position. Hands free and open. Cell phone silenced and turned over or put away. Breathe in and out 3 times to help relax. Invite the presence of God: “Come Holy Spirit.” Let go of “to-do” lists; concerns, worries or replaying of the day’s events. When these do come to mind, gently move them aside. Saying a word like “Jesus” or “Spirit” or “peace” will help. Notice the thoughts and feelings that arise. Ask yourself: What is the state of my mind? Thank God for the time together.
