Hey my friend,
Big welcome.
Let's take a few minutes to talk about awareness and understand the power of awareness and how to use it for your relaxation and harmonization.
Actually,
Life without awareness is impossible.
We use it all the time.
I feel like this,
I think like that,
I want this,
I want that,
My body is like this or like that requires awareness.
We cannot do it without that.
Just take a minute and observe for yourself.
In an instant you can be aware of your body,
Of any part of your body.
You know how you're feeling,
You know how is your mind,
You know if you're emotional,
You sense sensation from outside,
Sounds,
Temperature,
But all this is possible only with awareness.
The reason that we don't feel much when we sleep is because awareness is inward.
Every thought that runs in your mind that you're aware of it,
Meaning it uses awareness to be noticed.
When we are automatic pilot we are not aware of the awareness.
We're not aware that actually we're moving awareness constantly from thing to thing,
But we just do it as we go through a day.
But when we understand the power of awareness we can use it for healing and it's actually the most profound and powerful healer.
Awareness can be compared to the sunlight.
We need the sun to shine for life to manifest on planet earth and you can think about the flower that is in the shade waiting for the sun rays to shine on it to warm it so it can slowly open and manifest its beauty to the world.
Awareness is exactly the same.
When it shines on an object it will open it up.
Normally we use awareness to shine it on thoughts and we are not aware that that's what we're doing.
Any movement in the mind needs awareness to manifest.
Thoughts are impossible without awareness.
That's why in the yoga system they put so much importance on controlling the mind,
On understanding how the mind is connected to thoughts and when it stops thinking,
Awareness can be focused inward and we feel much more peaceful.
Let's take a minute and try to recognize awareness.
Normally we can recognize it in the area of the forehead what we call the third eye or the frontal lobe near the front of the brain and if you pay attention you'll see and that you can use this area a bit like a projector to project to areas within you and then to perceive sensation.
So if i ask you how is your left elbow you bring your awareness to your left elbow and then you perceive the sensation in the left elbow in the left elbow and like this you can do with any part of your body.
That's exactly what we're doing when we want to soften the body.
We bring awareness to different parts and when we are just staying there that area is softens and relaxes.
Why it is so powerful and why relaxation takes place when we are aware of that part?
The reason is that awareness is not ours.
We think that it's my awareness but really it's not like this.
Awareness actually it's the whole creation.
The reason why awareness is so powerful is because it's connected to the whole creation.
When you're focusing on an area of your body that feels tense actually you're synchronizing between the infinite creation and that area and actually you're inviting for that area complete balance that is already existing in the whole creation.
Let's try it for a minute.
Let's bring our awareness for example to the center of the chest what we call the heart chakra.
Just be there.
Okay so you can pay attention that your awareness that coming from the third eye is shining and connecting to the center of the chest.
Now by default what we're doing we're locking the awareness into the body by illusory acknowledging that the body is separate from life.
But the same awareness that connects with the heart chakra can be connected to the whole creation.
Actually that's how it should be.
But out of let's say bad habit or wrong habits we learn through millions of lifetimes to lock awareness into the body.
So now try to connect to your heart chakra while you're aware of if possible the whole creation.
What does it mean?
It means that your mind is completely expanded.
It feels infinite and in the same time it is aware of the heart chakra.
That's the right positioning in order to create the most profound balance.
Okay and normally when you are like this in this position of synchronization your heart chakra will start to open up.
And like this you can move from one part to another part within you to create the most profound balance.
To harmonize and synchronize tension using awareness of the inside body and the whole creation.
Good luck my friend.
If there are any questions I'm always happy to answer.
Have a beautiful day.
