This keeps them awake, whereas if you concentrate on the reading or teaching, some of us may slip into deeper meditations, and those who tend to snore will be getting elbows stuck in their ribs.Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17343576593315811633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4795284845836270713.post-5792011227164546892012-10-14T18:02:54.695+01:002012-10-14T18:02:54.695+01:00It certainly seems to be that one can only listen ...It certainly seems to be that one can only listen to either or.Erika Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01812376497361267014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4795284845836270713.post-91612080017535504902012-10-14T13:53:04.889+01:002012-10-14T13:53:04.889+01:00Ahem.

I practice mindfulness by listening to the readings, then sleep during the sermon, as the effort of listening to the readings is quite tiring. <br /><br />I found so many sermons just repeated the readings in the speaker's own words it wasn't worth listening.DaisyAnonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12680034482022415405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4795284845836270713.post-89910474021971563132012-10-14T08:58:18.323+01:002012-10-14T08:58:18.323+01:00You mean the readings weren't designed as peri...You mean the readings weren't designed as periods of rest so everyone would be refreshed and able to give the sermon their full attention?<br />It's hard to know in advance which sections the preacher will choose as pertinent for the day's elaborations and it is custom that these are repeated during the talk when everyone is wide awake.Erika Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01812376497361267014noreply@blogger.com
