Inner Work For the week of: September 2, 2002 Hands and Feet Effective spiritual practice must be grounded in our body. Certainly
practice extends beyond the body, for example in some types of meditation and
prayer. But the persistent blue-collar inner work of actually being present in
our body, while not flashy, inexorably leads toward a substantial and
transformed spiritual life. So from time to time, we renew our work on the
energy body by returning our primary effort to direct contact with physical
sensations.
For this week, be in your hands and feet, these marvelous instruments of
transportation and action. When we walk, awareness of our feet brings us into
the now, into relationship with the Earth, with our body, with our life in this
moment. Awareness of our hands offers immediate contact with our acts in the
world, be it washing, grooming, typing, tying shoes, dialing a phone, cooking,
laying brick, digging, raking, touching, or any of the other myriad functions of
our hands.
Starting with awareness of the sensations in our hands and feet, we build a base for sensing the entire energy
body.
