The Dance of Awareness & Action

Awareness is a wonderful thing, that allows us to experience the world on a deeper level. It is a beautiful teacher that brings to our attention, that which we need to know.  Yet we must be careful not to be only the observer, sheltering in the knowing of awareness, yet not being moved to do what it inspires us to do.

When our awareness alerts us that things need to change, we must take the opportunity to take action. If we notice unkindness in the world, we can ask ourselves, "How can I be more kind?", "How can my actions inspire more kindness and create a ripple effect of kindness beyond what I will know or see."

When we have moments where we wish we had the energy and vibrancy of our youth, we can dwell there, or we can choose to take action. We can make lifestyle changes that give us more energy or take up a hobby that fills our heart with joy.

And yet sometimes awareness just asks that we are truly aware. To not only notice the sun shining but to feel its warmth and energies soothing and uplifting our soul. It asks us to really notice the beauty of a flower, a smile on your loved ones face or to savour the taste of your favourite meal. 

Awareness shows us what we need to change and when we need to be present for ourselves, others and the world.

We must learn to navigate this beautiful dance between awareness and action, feeling into the moment and moving when the timing is right. Let this dance become a part of your being. Allow awareness to teach you and bring you into the present moment, and then when the inspiration or calling to act arises, move with grace and certainty into the action you know is right in your heart,
