So that his attention is drawn to distractions that could be dangerous, so when a big truck is coming, I hold a treat up and say “Focus.”
He is learning that it more rewarding for him to focus than it is for him to go running after that cat or dog.
Do you know that the same technique works with adult humans
Learn to focus on a quality of the divine and we learn quickly
that it is more rewarding than chasing after whatever it is
that scares, attracts, disturbs, angers us.
I’m thinking now of your Youth and Family Ministry.
How I miss watching the children and parents coming in.
Every week in Youth Church, the children used to, and will again one day, perform Candlelighting Ceremony..
To focus attention to qualities of Divinity.
Clearly the Divine must be beyond any one name or quality.
Still, we use these qualities to point in the direction.
Life, Light, Joy, Peace, Beauty, Power and Love
Whether young or older - Using one of these qualities to focus on
and see the world through it Is a powerful way to open to a larger experience of life.
