Mindfulness

Thinking about mindfulness. How it is to be truly aware. Aware of my surroundings, using my senses, here in the moment. It’s amazing how much there is to perceive just sitting here in my living room. Smells, sounds, the feel of the sofa. The texture of cloth in the clothes covering my body. My breath, my inner being, the blood streaming through my veins. Even the energy flowing in my surroundings. I see the shadows and the light revealing some detailss to me and hiding others. Just taking a minute to sense and be, right here right now. It’s amazing how much is going on and how much there is to explore and sense in each and every moment. I’m amazed at how clever we are to be able to interpret our surroundings and process all the information into coherent pictures and feelings. The basis for the life we live!

Just taking that time to observe and be aware is really powerful. I try to do it often. It gives me space to be creative, to have ideas and to use my intuition. It’s like putting a stop and taking a step back from what I am doing to sense and feel. And it always feels good to have the moment. To really know where I am!
