Deepening your awareness of the presence of Jesus
This is a technique that you can try to deepen your awareness of the presence of Jesus:
- Allow Jesus to help you remember a time of closeness with Him
- Allow the mental content (i.e., what you are aware of) be experienced by all of your senses so you can be fully present in your awareness. That is, your thoughts, feelings, and physical sensations, etc.
- Attempt to make the experience as strong/vivid/intense as possible
- Pay attention to any novelty in the experience. That is, what is new or fresh that you did not notice when you have been in this memory before
- Think about the personal relevance of what you are experiencing. How does it fill your soul?
