On this multi-stop journey through my spiritual practice, we now encounter the Seven Whispers. These are seven phrases of grounded spiritual wisdom that came to author and PeerSpirit circle process co-founder Christina Baldwin. She turned these into a lovely book, bite-sized and portable, that I read at least twice a year. The Seven Whispers are part of my morning recitations and they are:
Maintain peace of mind
Move at the pace of guidance
Practice certainty of purpose
Surrender to surprise
Ask for what you need and offer what you can
Love the folks in front of you
Return to the world
There is so much to these. They, like so much else that I recite, are a way of life, not just words. They are so rich that I encourage you to read the book. Christina even has a free downloadable study guide available for groups ( http://www.peerspirit.com/gifts/Seven-Whispers-StudyGuide.pdf ). So please gather your fellow journeyers and explore these subtle yet powerful phrases together.
love, love the last
my favourite is “love the folks in front of you”
And my favourite is “return to the world”. I relish returning to that which is grounded and real. I appreciate remembering the eternal in the temporal. I celebrate the body and the ground that sustains me.
