What is awareness?

We have been told that awareness is that part of us that perceives, observes and witnesses our thoughts, feelings, behaviours and body—the clothing awareness puts on—and we need to discover what is underneath. We need to realise that awareness lives at the innermost core of our being. When our awareness is in the present moment, we’re in touch with who we really are, with our very essence.

Being in the present is being one with each heartbeat, each in-breath, each out-breath, from moment to moment…We only have our next breath, our next heartbeat, or we would not exist.

“The past and future are only concepts, we only have the now…” – Jon Kabat-Zinn
