We are all mostly aware that spiritual practices, proper nutrition, exercise, sleep, and healthy relationships can all significantly boost our health. Outside of the times that we pencil these activities in our busy schedule though, we rarely get to enjoy the in-between space. Living consciously is about living awake to the present moment. We hope to open more and more to our lives, and as we do so, we start to raise our vibration within ourselves and throughout the planet.

Here are 3 excellent ways to bring some space awareness into our day…

1. Silent Driving

That’s Right! Turn the noise off. There isn’t a more beautiful song waiting to be heard than the sound of your breath. It’s an instrument you’ve been playing for as long as time. That talk show? Turn it off too. Your mind has something to say. Some of us spend nearly an hour a day (and some more) just commuting to and from work or school. This can be a great time to reflect, pray, contemplate, or just breath.

2. Eating Meditation

Staying fully present to a meal, resting between bites, and feeling our bellies expand can allow us to connect more deeply with eating. We are in automatic gratitude and satiety when we eat mindfully. We can imagine how fortunate we are to be able to have food readily available. Our bodies begin to share another layer of consciousness as we open to the wisdom of nourishment. Just with this simple mindfulness practice, we are syncing the mind and body back into unison.

3. Giving Interactions

In as many interactions as possible, focus solely on what you can give to the other person. These can be very small acts of kindness, but the embodiment of generosity will accelerate your spirit and raise your vibration. This practice is especially helpful in times of self-absorption, when we are consumed with our own personal narratives. By setting our focus on giving, we are automatically filled with abundance.

These simple activities make it clear that every action, however seemingly mundane, can open us up to new levels of awareness. The choice is ours.

Love.
