Mindfulness.
Perhaps the major key to the Gentle Way to Fitness, as well as to life, is mindfulness. Bringing awareness, attention, i.e. mindfulness to anything, an activity, a thought, an emotion allows for choice to accept, grow, transform and/or becoming enlightened - a being of Light. Mindfulness is power. Without it, we are at the mercy of whatever breeze of energy happens to waft by.
Mindfulness: Full awareness of the body - its breath, its beat, its blocks, its sensations
Mindfulness: Full awareness of thought - its perceptions, stories, judgments, opinions, habitual patterns, its ideas, its emptiness
Mindfulness: Full awareness of emotion - watching the kaleidescope of anger, joy, sadness, euphoria, irritation, stimulation, passion and more as they pass through, some grasping our hearts, others forgotten before they are remembered
Mindfulness: Full awareness of a vibration unnameable. We call it spirit.
Turn on. Tune up. Listen to the signals from outside and inside. Go.

I like what you say: "mindfulness is power. Without it we are the mercy of whatever breeze of energy happens to waft by." That's so true!
ReplyDelete"go with the flow" is probably the most misunderstand phrase in our emotional/mental realms. It's not a hither-thither, wild abandon kind of going with the flow.
Mindfulness is going with the flow without the fits and starts of the ego and the emotional realm.
Turn on. Listen. I love it.
