Hi, dear friends, it's Eve here.
Welcome to Radioheadspace.
When was the last time you were in awe of something?
Or you allowed your imagination to run wild and truly enjoyed being immersed in the wonder of what you were experiencing?
I ask this question as I was really reminded of the importance of this quite recently.
recently i was watching the show prehistoric planet and as its title suggests it's about life on earth with dinosaurs 66 million years ago and when i sat down to watch the first episode i was a little bit distracted i was going over events from the day and fussing about things i hadn't done but when i saw the first dinosaur displayed on the screen it got my attention not only were with a special effects, mind -blowing.
But I was completely struck by this moment of total awe and wonderment.
These gigantic creatures have so far dwarfed our existence on earth.
We've been around a mere fraction of the time that they were, a drop in the ocean.
Now don't worry, I am not about to quit being a meditation teacher to take up paleontology, but this reminded me of what it felt like to experience a moment of awe and amazement.
I was doing some research on awe, this powerful emotion that has the potential to expand our mind and perspective, and I came across this definition by Dacher Keltner, who is a psychologist at the greater good science center at UC Berkeley.
he says that awe is a feeling of being in the presence of vast things that you don't necessarily understand or when you encounter vast mysteries in life interestingly he also says that awe is not just about the big things in life we can experience awe in many different and small ways like witnessing a flower bloom or seeing someone help out a stranger who's in difficulty and it got me thinking about the fact that we miss so many moments in life that are awe inspiring moments that fuel our creativity that even prompt us to look at our own existence and I think back to moments in my life when I've
experienced awe and there is one thing in common they provide moments of connection whether it's with yourself other people or the planet itself self.
Music has provided me with so many moments of awe.
I remember going to a concert to see a musician called Charles Bradley.
He's sadly died now, but his story is remarkable.
He spent many years living on the streets, and when he finally got some housing, he worked as a server in a bar.
One evening, some big producers from a record label came in And the person who was booked to perform didn't show up So he asked the manager if he could stand in And that moment changed his life forever Those producers were blown away and practically signed him on the spot He really sang from the heart and I felt that when I saw him in concert There were a few thousand strangers together in a room but we were all so deeply connected by his music and his story.
And here are some questions to think about when you want to incorporate moments of awe into your day.
When was the last time you felt awe?
Was it after learning about something historic?
Or did you find awe in a song or seeing a sunset?
How did those moments of awe affect your day?
And what does it feel like to think about them now?
And remember, to truly experience something fully, we have to be present.
We have to be in the moment.
And mindfulness is a really good friend of awe.
When you look at what mindfulness is, moment to moment, nonjudgmental awareness, it opens us up to be able to experience and feel a sense of awe.
I'll leave it there for today
