A teaching by Kate Munding, an Insight Meditation teacher, on how the little moments in life can become a different experience. The preciousness of human life doesn’t only come with beauty.
A note from Sean
I sometimes ask: what if this were my last sip of coffee, or my last bite of something I love? I would want to savor it. I would get curious about what it is actually like. That sense of freshness and awe is available in ordinary moments.
Try this today. Pick one ordinary thing today, like the first sip of tea, warm water on your hands, or the walk to your door. Give it thirty seconds of full attention. Notice temperature, texture, and sound.
Keep going: What Makes Life Precious and Settling Into This Present Moment.
This suits anyone who wants more of their ordinary days to count. Preciousness doesn’t only come with beauty, so a hard day can count too. If thinking about loss brings up grief, go gently. Stop when you need to.
