This will be a short informational post rather than inspirational, but it still might lead you to some sources of inspiration. I found a helpful illustration that places some contemplative practices on a tree, grouping them in categories. Check this out:
This is a great overview that I came across at contemplativelife.org. Their stated mission is “Connecting people and communities with transformative practices.” I think this tree is a good way to visualize different practices in categories. I’ll be coming back to this image and doing a web search for some of the components.
Note: Look carefully at any links you click and make sure that the source is contemplativeLIFE not contemplativeMIND. Some links have been hijacked or created by “tophotels”
Also on that website is an interactive “tree” where you can click on categories to open more options. You can see that HERE.
Has contemplative spirituality impacted you? Are you engaged in a particular practice or considered starting one? I’d love for you to share in the comments!
