Promote Awakening

Everyone has to do the work of promoting awakening. Awakening is the foundation of every kind of change.
                                                 Thich Nhat Hanh: Answers from the Heart

I know it sounds presumptuous, but I actually feel like a kind of messenger. Just a very humble one and in a very small scale, but still… And as such I want to do what I can to spread the message, to “promote awakening”.

Our world needs a shift, and I am convinced that shift is on its way. More and more people become aware of the fact that there are other things to life than material welfare, making a career, or rushing around the globe, chasing for exciting new experiences.

More and more people stop the crazy rat race they’re in, and notice that slowing down is not something negative, a sign of weakness or stupidity. 

More and more people discover their souls, and become responsive to its needs. And that’s the first step to awakening.

What little change can you do this week to promote your own awakening...?  Eat your breakfast mindfully? Take a silent walk for lunch? Take 5 minutes before going to bed to recollect your day?
