Foundation steps

Understanding how we attach, why we attach, what is attaching and who is doing the attaching is seldomly revered as worthwhile or valuable, when it pertains to us. Other people? No problem. Me? Not enough time… An oversight in attuning to our feeling—our energy shift, places an extra (and unnecessary) burden on the cognitive process. Taxing the cognitive process floods our working memory, which makes processing extremely difficult (headache). Learning to work with our self can help to eliminate any unnecessary mind-chatter, and help to redirect our focus (energy) onto whatever we desire.

Exercise:

As you breathe in, ask yourself, how do I feel? As you breathe out, notice where your mind takes you… Repeat, while gently noticing yourself.

Process:

Learning to become aware—On reflection

·        What did you notice?

·        What happened with your mind-action?

·        Did it take you to a thought? Or, did you notice a sensation, perhaps a sound coupled by a body sensation? Perhaps something else…

In learning to attune to our-self, awareness is key. As we learn to shift our awareness, we turn our mind-focus inwardly. This inward action is like tuning a guitar—softly working the strings to a point in which the tone of the instrument is synchronistic. We are our own luthier. Recognizing the instrument is key.

As we breathe, we begin to recognize, and Smile.
