“It is hard to clear 5-10 minutes in my schedule for sitting in silence and solitude.” Read mindfully the above sentence to realize how silly it sounds.

Some notes on Attention and Awareness. ATTENTIONWe are born with limited conscious power. But there is a way we can expand and strengthen it. Fortunately we are already practicing the two of these breathing exercises (which will eventually train us for meditation) and journaling. The job of attention is to focus on one object at a time outside of the general field of consciousness. It is energized by our conscious power. For instance, as you breathe, you pay attention to the sensations of air going in and out of the nostrils; as you journal, you pay attention to the words you are writing; and finally when you read you step into a literary dream the book creates.   AWARENESSLike attention, awareness also gets its energy from conscious power. As you pay attention to the...
