The beauty of being touched in your heart
Our senses are the gateway to the world around us. But how much is out there that we miss, because we do not pay attention to the little wonders of every moment!
Seeing it from the perspective of nature and the brain, energy wants to be preserved, so in order to not wasting it on all the stimuli that we could get caught on, our brain simply filters all the “noise” that we cannot make immediate sense of and that are of no use for our current focus.
All fine and nice. But what, if this saving-mode of consciousness stays on auto-pilot? What about those habits that make us do things we don’t want and keep us from changing, although we would want to?
So the hard task is to overcome this internal inertia and wake up our awareness for all the possibilities we miss. And with awareness the possibilities arise. Being consciously awake helps us to become free to choose which direction our life should take. Of course there are many influencing factors that make this kind of decision difficult. Nevertheless: Nearly everything in our life that relates to us directly can be changed — by us ourselves. You can choose your reactions freely.
So wake up. Train your awareness of how things are touching you. What resonances are created when you walk down the sidewalk and see all the people, trees and houses? What happens inside of you, when you stand there at the shore, letting your gaze wander over the waves of the ocean? How do those magic moments touch you? Over which part of yourself does this river of NOW wash away that you step into in every moment of your life?
