The Power of Practice, Part 2

At the end of my previous post, I talked about the power of spiritual practice to transform.   This time, I’ll make it more personal, so that I can provide a concrete example for you. 

 I’ll begin what I’m about to share with two words…

 40 days.  

That’s how long it took for me to learn how to be mindful, to meditate… to take a pause, as some refer to it.  I had tried on my own, many times, over many years – by sitting, willing my mind to “go blank”. But inevitably, I rarely made it through five minutes.
