In the last article, we talked about creating a state of wonder, so to nourish another kind of attention.
We are often paying attention to our reality through the lens of being busy with a « to do list », with worries and problems – real, potential or imaginary. In this state, our Inner Judge gets a lot of material for comparing and criticising what we do and how we are. The results are stress, dissatisfaction, insecurity, even anxiety.
The kind of attention I recommend to nourish is the one we experience when we are “simply” in the present. It can happen when we admire art or Nature. It helps to shift our attention from doing to being.

While working with clients, or leading my groups activities or developing my articles, I always underline the importance of breathing.
I would like to attract again your attention on this topic, because our mind tends – and it is very good at that – to ignore the importance of this basic function and to move quickly to something more “exciting”… But “outside” the body!
How to blame it? It is true that breathing is, basically, “only” breathing 🙂   [Read more]
