Becoming Careful - The Art of Heightened Awareness

We tend to become rather careless as we meander through life...tripping over ourselves, our goals, our emotions, our thoughts & others who are in our way, even thought they may not be so in a physical sense!

Carelessness seems to be expected as the norm in so many areas of our lives, and while we may criticize others for their careless ways, these are usually just reflections of our own careless nature.

Haphazard efforts usually bring foward hapahazard results. Meditation is a PRECISE ACT & it's actual precision is the antidote for our abundance of carelessness. We become precise about our chair & the position of our body as we look to begin our practice. We make certain we will not be disturbed, we turn off all phones, loosen any tight or constricting clothing, take off our eyeglasses, remove contact lenses, paying attention to the dimness of the lighst.....ALL PRECISION & NO CARELESSNESS HERE!

We now begin to prepare our mind as we work to release our body. We place positive expectations & are aware of our goals for meditating. We clear negatives & move out of problem thought areas. We move out of our demanding & wanting self. We work towards a pure meditation & one where we come in contact with our Pure or Higher Self. Pure Precision!

As we come back to our life out of meditation, we bring our carefulness & precision with us & look to where we can apply this in other areas of our life. Perhaps to simple tasks like brushing our teeth, flossing, care in preparation for dinner, washing dishes, care to the dog, or our clothes for tomorrow. Attending with precision....slowly & in full awareness to what we are doing.

We look to our emotions & work with them in a meditative way. What ones am I entertaining that are not skillful or helpful to my life in this moment? What programs am I enhancing that I really don't want? Attention to detail of the moment....perhaps not every moment, but at least some moments!

Taking time to slip into carefulness during the day....Noticing when we are in carelessness & gently shifting into a "careful state"....easy & effortlessly. Enjoying the shift.

Right now plug into where you are in this very moment. Simply breathe into it & check it out. Find an area, no matter how small & shift out of carelessness to carefulness....Feel It!
