In the previous two episodes we talked about the model of how we experience the world. The centre of those concentric circles was us. The person which we called the observer. In our experiential bubble of the world that is where everything takes place.
In this episode we can learn to use mindfulness and come in contact with the world. Mindfulness is about bringing our attention to the present moment without any judgement.
You may wonder, how does that help us come in contact with ourselves?
By looking outside we can learn a lot form nature. We shift our attention outside of ourselves. When we do so, all the noise within tends to slow down. All the internal chatter and emotions tend to ease off. Allowing us to be free from any internal interference. Learn to look at the world with curiosity and its wisdom will shine within you.
In the last episode, we talked about swapping unpleasant to pleasant experiences. One of my 3-5 things that put me in balance is to be mindful in nature – fully aware and curious.
In this episode we explore the importance of a mindfulness practice. You will get to listen a mini meditation. Practising allows us to be in touch with our environment. Despite focusing out there, we get to come in contact with ourselves.
The observer (You) begins to see the world more clearly, undistorted from emotions and thoughts. The lens that we view the world becomes clearer.
As we reclaim our inner balance, we get beauty, harmony, love. We get to be one with the world out there.
Take these learnings and head over to nature. In there find your connection with the world. Observe and notice what happens as you find a connection with yourself.
This is the external practice of mindfulness. Focusing outwards. In a different episode we will talk about being mindful of what happens within.
