A Spiritual Exercise – Listening For God

Try this simple spiritual exercise to help you hear and see the two aspects of God, the Light and Sound.

 

Go somewhere quiet. Sit or lie down in a comfortable place. Put your attention on your Spiritual Eye, a point just above and behind your eyebrows. With eyes lightly shut, begin to sing a holy word or phrase, such as HU, God, Holy Spirit, or "Show me thy Ways, O Lord." But fill your heart with love before you approach the altar of God, because only the pure may come.

 

Be patient. Do this exercise for several weeks, for a limit of twenty minutes each time. Sit, sing, and wait. God speaks to you only when you are able to listen.
