Conscious awareness is an increasingly important key in today's life!

For many people, this concept, which means noticing what is going on around them, actually means 'waking up'.

To be acutely sensitive, to know, to feel, to live in a pure state, to feel sounds, textures, smells, colours, corners, contours, without trying to control or be controlled by our inclinations.

Many people are dealing with hunger, cold, heat, disease, cruelty, injustice. Some people have trouble because my coffee is cold.

Life is a bit like a playground. . .

We try to achieve something for months and days, and when we do, we criticize, worry, want to change it and make it better.

Buddha says, "We suffer because we want what we don't have right now." Actually, there is nothing else. That's all. All this suffering comes from wanting, desire.

For example, your lover? Your job? Weather? Pain in your wrist? Posts you can't clear? Movies you can't watch? The clothes you stack without wearing them?

I can't change the past, I can't control the future, so the place where I stand strongest is in the present moment.

Of the many practices I've tried over the years, the most useful and simplest one: just sit down!

Sit with all your honesty and awareness. You will notice that all the barriers to reality have been shattered... You will notice changes in your body, your breath, your mind... You will realize that you can hear the voice of the destroyed ego...

It just means 'to wake up from a dream' in the sense of 'to open your eyes'. . . means everyone just sit quietly and look inside. . .

If we think of touching instead of touching, thinking instead of hearing, thinking instead of tasting, seeing and smelling, we cannot fully experience the flavors of life all the time. Put your mind aside and just let yourself be 'being'. . .

Try to do whatever you are doing, without thinking about any work, without adding anything else, just by staying inside your body. By trying to stay in the process, by feeling. By stopping working inside your head, allowing your movements to flow naturally through your body.

And listen to what Depeche Mode says. . . .'Enjoy the silence’ - Words are very unnecessary, they can only do harm-
