Living in the Now - Page 2
© M. Williams
Once we begin to practice paying attention, being mindful of what we are doing, we begin to make full use of our five senses so that we are actually tasting our food, enjoying the sensations of movement, and discovering with wonder the many things around us that have previously gone unnoticed. Our amazement at this phenomenon causes us to become aware of our previous sleeping state, and the more we become aware of this, the more effort we will want to put into remaining awake to our own experiences. The newness of those things we now take note of jolts us out of our dream state and keeps us looking around to see what else we may have missed, and the effort increases the end result. Life becomes fascinating once again as we regain that childlike sense of awe in everything we experience. When we begin to awaken, we begin to feel the happy exhilaration of being fully conscious in the present moment-we begin to be fully alive in the now.
