Something subtle

Posted by Travis Loyd in Untagged 

You know how you have the ability to imagine something to such a degree that you lose awareness of your body?  To totally get caught up in a movie such that you do not notice any of the sensations your body might be experiencing?  Or when you are thinking about something so "skillfully" that you are completely lost in thought and a ufo could land in front of you and you wouldn't notice it?  -- This actually might not be a good thing.

Let me share with a you a suggestion which greatly assisted my own life.

Feel your body while engaging in other activities.  If you decide to do this and practice for awhile, you will notice some activies cause you to forget that you were practicing.  It might be helpful to avoid those activies somewhat until the new way-of-being becomes a little more habitual.  You will find that you have to relearn to perform activies while also having an awareness of the body.

Make a note not to lose the "noticing the sensation of having a body" as much as possible, even while thinking, etc...

Rather than describe the benefits of doing this, or otherwise trying to talk you into it, try it out for yourself and see if there is reason for me to have typed this.
