Spiritual Practice #1: Awareness

I hope to continue offering a variety of exercises for mind and heart to reconnect with your Essence. In a sequay from the “Distractions from Essence” post, let me ask you this.... who or what is aware of the distractions? Yoga is fundamentally an experiment in spirituality, in the Awareness of Bliss. This means that we can test reality against our direct experience and verify things for ourselves. In this case inquire, investigate, “test” who you are. You can experience that there is someting to be aware of, such as the distraction or the feeling that preceeds the desire to be distracted. And there is something (or someone) that is aware of the object, of the distraction. Its easy to describe the object, however it is also possible to inquire (“sense”) into the feeling of Awareness and describe it too.

Can you do this now - notice an object and then notice the feeling experience of being Aware.
