Africa-Press – Lesotho. <\/strong><\/span>Each one of us has our own prayer routine. Why do we pray is itself a long story going back to the days when we had perhaps acquired some form of self-consciousness and the vision of an imminent being regulating our life.<\/p>\n

However, nowadays the modern generation has a tendency to think more in terms of spiritualism, which is to access that feeling one generates spontaneously on discovering our inner self which seems to be a permanent phenomenon.<\/p>\n

Can we recover or rediscover that inner self every day? Some people engage in different forms of religious prayers, elaborate rituals or recitation of sacred verses to access that self or some godly being. Can it be done differently? The Shower<\/p>\n

Every day as we go for our bath or shower, we unconsciously do one of the most pleasant exercises of our day; at least that should have been for all of us, but with time we have come to relegate it as a routine.<\/p>\n

A pity. Suppose after our warm shower \u2014 after lathering ourselves with our gel or soap and a wonderful wash we don\u2019t move out. Instead give ourselves the luxury of enjoying the flow of crystal-clear water.<\/p>\n

Gradually we close our eyes and relax completely. While giving our thoughts of yesterday\u2019s happenings a total miss, let\u2019s not think of things or tasks to attend to in the hours that follow.<\/p>\n

Just be alone with our selves\/self. Having done away completely with our thoughts and switching our attention to the present, we\u2019ll find ourselves face to face with our feelings.<\/p>\n
