Awareness goes very deep it doesn’t only refer to awareness of our surroundings as difficult as that may be. Awareness goes deep to awareness of our actions, why we do what we do. The reasoning for our actions. This is can be a lot of work to first be aware that there are motivations behind our actions but then to identify what that motivation is. Why do we get angry when we do, why do we get upset over something, why do we get scared. Most of these emotions are conditioned responses. Frequently learned before we even new we were learning the. We see the reactions of our role modes and emulate this in our lives as we go forward. Recognizing this can help make changes in unwanted behavior and thinking. Awareness is the only way to make changes in these ways of thinking and reacting. When we choose to be aware we are choosing to be present. Here now instead of being off in the mind thinking about the past, making a grocery list, thinking about what needs to be done. We are aware of what is right now and not worried about the past, future and things undone. Awareness can go even deeper to the thoughts that even make it into our mind. Are you aware if the thought is negative or positive? Is the though productive or destructive? It takes an awareness that the thought has happened and then analyzing it to understand its nature. The simple awareness that a thought has occurred is hugh. This can take years of practice to slow down enough to recognize this, let alone get to the place where you can analyze these thoughts. This awareness is growing with more people meditating and practicing yoga from the best Singapore hotel to slums of Delhi. Awareness is the key to human transformation.
