Have you ever thought of the meaning of Sunday? Many religious traditions go back to the idea that there should be a special day in the week to let go of all worldly engagements and use that time to connect with God instead. Yet, we ask you, despite sleeping in a little and going to church perhaps, do you really do anything differently on Sundays?
Fact of the matter is that we are surrounded by beauty, love and amazing connections yet most of the time we don't even realize it because we are too busy making money, scheming our future or regretting the past. We need a day to reconnect with the daily miracles of life, and once we do, we at least have a shot at carrying this connection through the rest of our busy life.
When we are busy and engaged with our daily problems, we cannot make ourselves stop to appreciate the beauty of so many other facets our life has to offer us; the tasty food we have every day, the beautiful house we live in, the love of family and friends that surrounds us, and the abundance of nature nearby. We take all of that for granted and classify it as trivial, yet, these presents are what makes our life worthwhile. Even if you are driven by career, material abundance and craving excitement, without these divine mood boosts you will soon run out of energy yourself.
Connecting with these daily activities is a bridge to God. Mindful living allows you to realize the divine touch God surrounds you with. You feel grateful for all the presents God has prepared for you. Since no one can be mindful all the time, devote a special day to celebrate all your divine connections. At this special day, quiet down, try to be aware of every activity and every connection, and celebrate life and love as best as you can. Be aware of God's energy that surrounds you always. Take a break from everything, recharge your energy supply and be ready to dive again into the busyness of the upcoming week.
What better day could there be to make this connection than Easter Sunday? Celebrate spring, feel the divine energy in the air and make this special day the first to reconnect with what is really important to you. Take a deep breath, take a look around and be blessed by God's grace.
