"Pay attention to life. She will pay attention to you." I have heard those words from at least 3 of my major teachers. Start treating what is contained in life with respect and reverence. Treat all as if everything is conscious. In order to do this and still be able to eat, walk, breathe, you gotta let go of judgements or you'll be afraid to move for fear of harming something.
Talk to the trees, the bugs, the kitchen counter. Your elbow, your back, your teeth, your pancreas. Whatever is bugging you, talk with it. Sit with it. Get to know it before trying to change it. Consider it spiritual foreplay. Make friends with your external environment. Make friends with you internal environment.
They say keep your friends close and your enemies closer, which means that it pays off to include all aspects, not just the ones that are easy to know, easy to love. Love thine enemy. I think Jesus was really talking about loving yourself. Loving the Whole of you.
