What captures our attention in the outer world invites us to get in touch with the hidden treasure within us. We can cultivate the habit of paying attention. The following questions can be used for personal reflection or shared in a conversation.

Notice. As you reflect upon your experiences from this day (or this week), what experience seems to shimmer and connect with a glimmer of feeling?

Name. Describe the experience. Try to put into words what you are noticing by reflecting: what is this experience about for me at this time in my life?

Nurture. Share what you have noticed and named. Write about it in a journal. Tell a friend about it in conversation. Invite other persons to tell you about an experience that is shimmering to them.
