A tripod provides a stable, secure base for holding physical objects.
Like its material counterpart, a spiritual tripod can also provide a source of stability and focus. Develop and use your own spiritual tripod to enhance your life.
It works like this: upon reflection, choose three important ‘realizations’ from your life to be the secure legs of your spiritual tripod. Once you have chosen the three legs, practice activating the spiritual tripod, which is done by focusing on the three realizations – all at the same time.
By way of example, here what’s in my spiritual tri-pod:
1) The realization of gratitude – regardless of what you are feeling / experiencing in the moment (from great pain, hurt, anxiety – all the way to profound joy and pleasure) – be grateful for whatever you are experiencing
PLUS
2) The realization that ‘it changes’ – your experience will never remain the same
PLUS
3) The realization that this moment is ALL that we have – it is the ONLY thing we can ever have.
Activating these three realizations brings you to your center, and helps you to focus and remain in the moment.
This is one helpful tripod, but there are many to be developed and appreciated. Go inside and find your own!!!!!!!!!!!!!
