Practising Mindfulness

so much so that your fascination and curiosity can change the world

Just want to raise your awareness of you for a moment. I’m going to help raise your awareness of just how extraordinary you are. 3.5 billion years ago, life existed on this planet in the form of one cell organisms. These unicellular organisms are mostly bacteria. As we’re all too aware, they certainly still exist today and are doing very well. Then, approximately 600 million years ago, multicellular organisms evolved, and this is when complex life really took hold. So put simply, you and I are a product of 3.5 billion years of evolution. In my book, that makes Homo Sapiens utterly extraordinary, indeed.

when we take a moment to consider just how many conditions needed to come together, for life to have become as advanced as it has, we begin to appreciate our true value

It’s only when I mindfully consider these conditions (far too many to mention here) that I really begin to see my true value and that of my fellow humans. I only have to see this value and then see the disregard some people have for life that I become emotionally involved.

I worked for many years as an analytical hypnotherapist and helped many people work through and resolve past abuse. I’m still affected now by the ignorance that allows abuse to continue. but I use my anger as a force for good

It’s my outrage that generates the energy needed to write this post. And I want you to be outraged also. I want you to think about the special nature of human beings and the extraordinary conditions that have resulted in us being here. Now, think about another human being who has no thought for the damage caused to the individual and society as a whole when they set about abusing a child. How dare they damage such an extraordinary thing: US ALL.

it only takes a raised awareness in you to begin the necessary changes the world needs

For a moment, bring your mind back to the unicellular organism. Through binary fission, bacteria can multiply into the millions in as little as twenty minutes. Now think about how talking to one individual, about their extraordinary nature, can lift millions of people in the same way as bacteria multiplies. You tell one friend how special they are (and why) they then tell two others, they each tell two other and so on. 1 = 2 = 4 = 8 = 16 = 32 = 64 = 128 = 256 = 512 = 1024 and so on. Raise your awareness of you, and the world really does become less ignorant. Perhaps even a potential abuser will think twice, and this will quite literally save lives. Your mindfulness will save lives. Spread the word. x
