What a neat book! Love her active listening tips too. All good reminders as I slip out of that mode way too often!

Mmmm, that candle or that cup of coffee…
I think I have been a closet gnostic most of my life.

We can all benefit from paying more attention to the world around us.

Each one is a miracle that we overlook in our grasping for imaginary or mental things. I love Rubin’s advice about listening and I’d surely get a lot out of the book. Thanks for recommending it!

I took the quiz, and my most appreciated sense is touch, (No surprise)- I feel seen when touched and often use the same sense to engage with others who are hurting. I love the “feel” of things and can get lost in tactile experiences. My mom says I fell asleep as a child by moving my fingers across my pillowcase.
Also, not a surprise, my most neglected sense is hearing. I crave silence. I become very overwhelmed in noisy environments and loud noises send me into panic.
But engaging all five senses is crucial for remaining present. I use a mindfulness practice engaging all of my five senses to get present and defeat overwhelm often!

It’s that idea of being present to the present. Interestingly, after PT today, I asked Michael to take me our botanical garden. It’s a showstopper in St. Louis. At one point, I asked him to stop so we could just listen. I became much more aware of a swishing breeze lifting leaves, heard a gurgling brook, noticed the faint chirp of birds. It was just a moment, but a magical one. We miss so much with our senses because we don’t have the good sense to appreciate what beauty (or not) they provide. I’m now a vestibular patient, and Lisa, before this ordeal, I wasn’t really aware that we sense balance through our inner ears, our eyes, and of all things, our feet. When any of these senses misfires, we’re off balance. Interesting stuff, and my physical therapist appreciates that I”m curious about my body and want to learn more. Sounds like you are doing that w/ your life.
Enjoy
Lynn

Thanks, Lisa!
