Waking Up Neural Pathways That Connect Us To Awe And Wonder
by Li Meuser
This 20-minute guided rest meditation was done for course participants for a course exploring Awe and Wonder. In this recording, we explore through the senses in a way that helps the brain orient to this moment, rather than to spinning thoughts of past or future. We slowly allow ourselves to experience how we're held in the moment by gravity and breath, in practical and simple ways. After we connect with simple sense experiences and are in a state of increased regulation, we lean into curious questions about our simple experiences, encouraging our attention to meander and include simple somatic experiences that we may habitually and innocently overlook or ignore. As our curiosity increases, we move attention towards expressions and experiences that we have had of awe and wonder, pondering- What is it like to somatically remember those experiences?
