Open to awareness
"Mindfulness means moment-to-moment, non-judgmental awareness. It is
cultivated by refining our capacity to pay attention, intentionally,
in the present moment, and then sustaining that attention over time
as best we can. In the process, we become more in touch with our life
as it is unfolding."
-- Myla & Jon Kabat-Zinn
Why do we want to become more aware?
If we remain unaware, we:
- repeat the past,
- remain stuck in relationships,
- live superficial, literal and one dimensional lives,
- lack experiences of love and beauty, and
- have limited connection to others and the universe.
With awareness, we are fully involved with life. Awareness is sensing
deeply and sensitively for what really is. To do this, we need to
approach the present as totally new. When we can be open and
attentive in each moment, we begin to free ourselves from the
conditioning of the past and the suffering that it so often brings.
"If moment by moment you can keep your mind clear then nothing will
confuse you."
-- Sheng Yen
Awareness is the key to all change. Penetrate blocks and find your authentic self. Open to new possibilities using your imagination and intuition. Develop your basic and higher awareness.
