What brings you bliss? Being with my mom brings me bliss. Today I was able to spend a few hours with my mom- my heart and soul now filled up once again with the love of a mother’s love. She is also my best friend and we have shared some deep conversation as well as many times we laughed so hard our stomachs hurt- I love those times the most.
She gave me this gift today of “Bliss in a Box.” What a great idea! Author, Susan Piver created this little weekend contemplative retreat (in a box) to use at home. It contains:
- 2 audio compact discs with yoga practices on it and 3 meditation practices
- 60 flash cards that contain helpful checklists, tips for preparing for the program, contemplation questions to journal about, and yoga cards that show each post taught on the CD audios.
- 64-page booklet with a complete overview of each program day and backgrounds on the practices contained in the program.
What a creative idea, huh? It made me wish I had thought of it! But I shall enjoy using my Bliss in a Box and who knows what I may come up with after doing so.
I think so often we don’t find the time to sit long enough and really think about what truly does bring us bliss. I know for me, bliss is quite simple. Finding time to be with my mom, walks with my dogs, cozy weekends with John, and meaningful work– all blissful things to me. Blissful moments lead to a blissful life… and oh how I love living my bliss.
