The spirit saving practice of kindfulness encompasses a range of small acts and habits

The spirit saving practice of kindfulness encompasses a range of small acts and habits that we know as old-fashioned good manners — saying "please" and "thank you," waiting your turn, lending a helping hand, or cheering someone up with a smile. It applies not just to your relationships with other people. Etiquette in the spirit life extends to things, animals, plants, and the Earth.

This practice also means being generous with your presence, your time, and your money. Give freely without expecting anything in return. Just do it. Kindfulness is not a quid pro quo endeavour.

This is the daily Practice For You

Few of us would describe ourselves as unkind, cruel, or nasty, yet we would have to admit that we often miss the mark on this spirit practice. Just remember the many times you have been hurt by someone not doing something — the call that didn't come when you were feeling low, the thank you note that never appeared, the missed appointment — and then consider how often you have neglected to act in similar circumstances. Kindfulness is very susceptible to the egos self will of omission.

Still, acknowledging that we have missed another's kindfulness can make us want to be kind more consistently ourselves. This is one of those situations when a negative experience has a positive outcome.

Of course, sometimes we are simply too self-absorbed to notice that we are not being kind. Selfishness quickly undermines manners. And generosity is difficult for both the miser and the glutton.

Watering my plants is a cue for me to expand my practice of kindfulness to animals and inanimate beings.

Watching someone give up their seat to an elderly person is a reminder for me to make the little kind gestures.
