The Practice of Sacred Noticing
Transforming Your Spiritual Footprint
By Michael Cunningham, OFS
Available in paperback and Kindle on Amazon | In bookstores nationwide
Every interaction leaves a trace. Not just what you say or do, but the quality of presence you bring. The atmosphere you create. Whether people feel more settled or anxious, more open or defended after you walk away.
This is your spiritual footprint—and it’s being created whether you’re aware of it or not.
The Practice of Sacred Noticing offers a contemplative method for making your spiritual footprint conscious and intentional. Through a simple three-movement practice—Notice, Pause, Respond—you’ll learn to bring contemplative awareness into the ordinary moments of daily life: the difficult conversation, the triggering email, the decision under pressure, the unexpected encounter.
This isn’t meditation reserved for quiet mornings. Sacred Noticing is designed for the middle of things, transforming not just how you see but how you respond, not just your interior life but your actual presence in the world.
Rooted in Franciscan contemplative tradition. Accessible to seekers of all backgrounds.
The book includes:
- Complete practice instructions with weekly exercises
- Contemplative photography and poetry
- Guidance for specific situations (relationships, work, crisis)
- The neuroscience behind the practice
- Resources for deepening your contemplative life
