Full Presence.

I was talking to a friend yesterday when he stops and shares: “Sabela, the other day I set the timer to 90 mins and I forced myself to just stare to the ceiling”.

What at the begging it seems like he is a fool, he is actually practicing presence and relaxing his nervous system. I found it awesome and congratulated him.

I can relate to his experiment of being awake doing nothing, just in the act of pure presence. Lately I catch myself taking long breaks in where, honestly, I even don't know what to do and I don't feel like doing anything. I chill and observe, meditate, take a nap or look at my paintings… Naps are by the way my most favourite!

I have also been experiencing more sensitivity than usual, which is already a lot. Social media is becoming so loud I muted accounts and after a few minutes of scrolling I just leave, nothing catches my attention there no more. I love music but many times I crave silence, just the background noise of life happening is so enjoyable. What is happening to me? Is this normal?

This week during a walk through the park I noted my senses were sharper than usual. I started seeing indescribably beauty in the waves by the lake, I talked to birds and observed the naked branches of the trees making Impossible contonsions. What a beautiful experience I wish everyone could have, just noticing what's around.

This is not a note with a purpose, it's a quick reflexion I want to put out there. I am typing this while lying down on the sofa in my studio. 3:40 pm after a nap (of course). I am thinking out loud that I crave more deep and stimulating conversations and spending time surrounded with people on the same frequency. Otherwise my energy drains quickly and I feel my juices squeezed out. I know we are finding each other more and more as we are awakening. I feel it. I know it. Until then, I will focus on more presence, more alignment and keeping on the mission.

Thanks for reading. If something resonates or want to comment, I am happy to start a conversation.
