Episode #32 Tools To Use In Exploring Awareness

Current times can seem chaotic, and cause us to experience a multitude of feelings and emotions.  There are simple tools available to remind us how to connect to a deeper place of peace, love, joy and generosity. Tara Brach’s RAIN tool – Recognize, Allow, Investigate and Nurture and Don Miguel Ruiz’s 4 agreements- Be impeccable with your word; Don't take anything personally; Don't make assumptions; Always do your best- are 2 tools we discuss in today’s episode. On the surface, they seem simple and make sense. We are left though with “how” to implement these tools at a deeper level. Today, we discuss how to combine “exploring awareness” with these tools. By establishing a connection to our core through using mindfulness techniques, these tools take on a whole different perspective. Instead of top down, where these tools can seem like rules, they flow from the sense of authenticity derived from exploring awareness. These tools then become a reminder of who we really are at our core – calling on them anytime as a quick reminder.
