When Awareness Embraces The Senses, It Enlivens

You Might Be Tempted To Avoid The Messiness Of Daily Living For The Tranquility Of Stillness And Peacefulness. This Of Course Would Be An Attachment To Stillness, And Like Any Strong Attachment, It Leads To Delusion. It Arrests Development And Short-circuits The Cultivation Of Wisdom.

How We See And Hold The Full Range Of Our Experiences In Our Minds And In Our Hearts Makes An Enormous Difference In The Quality Of This Journey We Are On And What It Means To Us. It Can Influence Where We Go, What Happens, What We Learn, And How We Feel Along The Way.

No One Can Listen To Your Body For You... To Grow And Heal, You Have To Take Responsibility For Listening To It Yourself.

Mindfulness Is A Way To Rebalance Ourselves. Instead Of Being Lost In Thought, Or Caught Up In Emotional Upheaval, We Can Tip The Scale In The Direction Of Greater Equanimity, Clarity, Wisdom, And Self-compassion By Actually Learning How To Inhabit That Other Dimension Of Our Being.

The Importance Of The Development Of The Emotional Body Is Hardly Recognized Today. We Are Pretty Much Left To Our Own Devices To Come To Full Adulthood, Whether Man Or Woman. Our Elders May Have Become So Denatured Themselves From A Lack Of Such Nurturance That There Is No Longer A Collective Knowledge Of How To Guide The Awakening Emotional Vitality And Authenticity Of Our Young People, Our Children. Mindfulness May Contribute To A Reawakening Of This Ancient Wisdom In Ourselves And In Others.
