We are living during a time of some of the greatest developments of the human psyche in the history of the world. It is a time that many are awakening to their inner gifts thus awareness, intuition and abilities to manifest things that we wish for take on new possibilities. It is a great time to be alive in this development of ‘a different kind of magic’ in this new era.

On the other hand the fast pace adrenaline rush that this society has to offer is often overwhelming or addictive to the point that people can no longer tap into themselves and receive the treasures of a graceful, more fulfilling life. It is easy to be seduced to spend your life watching television, playing video games and/or participating in the fear of what bad things are going to happen to this world next.

Fear, escapism, adrenal rushes and despair have one thing in common they all can disconnect you from feeling yourself. The inward reality of feeling your experiences at the same time of processing them cognitively is something that most of us were not taught to do.

As children how many of us were asked simple questions such as: "How does doing that activity feel inside of yourself? Or "Does your body feel light and expanded when you think about doing ______?" Our bodies have perceptive abilities to tell us what is rewarding or unpleasant for us if we just ask. If we started asking those kind of questions and feeling how our body reacted to them we may find that a lot of the things we do are not much fun to our bodies such as violent movies, long hours watching television, heated debates to only name a few.

Many believe that awareness is about meditation or self-exploration. These are important elements but one that is not addressed enough is learning the sensual pleasure of your body. Consciousness is about feeling all of you, not only your psychic awareness but how wonderful a small piece of fruit tastes to your lips or receiving touch in a caring way. They are both a part of learning how to use your body in a more infinite way.

It is a process of being present in our experiences to feel them more fully that is a part of creating more awareness in us. Think of sitting at the base of a large tree and relaxing into the tree to where you empathize with the tree’s peacefulness. Or being touched very lightly with the intention of a caring love with each stroke and receiving it to where your skin becomes alive with the pleasure. Or taking a walk and using all of your muscles to move making each step a meditation.

This is a process of creating body awareness through the joy of being present in you. As you explore activities that you can be more present in you begin the process of connecting to your body. What body awareness creates within you is a new relationship with the intuitive abilities of your body. What we are learning is that the body has infinite awareness and our mind is more finite. If we can tap into this greater space of what our body really is we can create something more expanded than we ever imagined.
