. It is a "stream of consciousness of free-association" sort of
experience that is guided
only by my intention to seek
God and, so, that is where God leads it and in which God participates. Experiment to see what works best for you. It does take a while to get comfortable with the whole concept and to discover how best to give yourself to 1. Focus your attention on the art object to the
right, and try to turn off the left side of your
brain (the part that functions to analyze things logically, verbally, rationally), and let the right side take over (the part that is governed by feelings, emotions, perceptions) for awhile.
2. I like to have some music playing softly in
the background. It isn''t essential to the
experience but it may help to blot out some of
the constant noise clutter that seems to be everywhere these days. The music should not
be familiar in melody and, if there is anything
vocal, it should not be recognizable English
language. In short, nothing distracting, no
matter how beautiful in its own right.
