We are a continuum: We activate our life force through the connection with all
There is so much disconnect both on the macro and the micro levels I observe everyday. I have been researching how we can get back to the state of completeness - so complete and content that we don’t need to go and look for who we are outside of us.
Our eyes and minds are in close relationship with each other. When the mind is suffering, the eyes are straining and we cannot see very well. When the minds are at peace, the eyes are relaxed and we can see better.
Sun light is the remedy for all. Let's catch as much sunlight as we can to BOOST your IMMUNE SYSTEM!
Spending time on mundane things really grounds me. Well, perhaps they are not mundane after all.
How and when did we stop optimal breathing? As I observe people with certain pain and discomfort, I notice that breathing is often compromised.
With the recent increase of virtual device use, many people are suffering from eye strain. Here are a couple of tips as to ease the strain.
In our modern life, we have no need to articulate our toes like our fingers. The ground tends to be flat and the types of surface are not varied.

Eyes are the window through which things enter into our consciousness. In everyday life, we often use our eyes to focus, interpret, analyze, and understand what we are seeing, activating our cone cells in retina. What we use much less often is the peripheral vision, we see with the rod cells on the outer edges of the retina. These two ways of seeing are vastly different. When you meet someone, are you using the central vision? Or are you using the peripheral vision? Or both? When do you think you close up the peripheral vision, trying not to feel the person? When you encounter something overwhelming, can we keep both central and peripheral visions open? How does that change how we see and respond to the outside world?
Here is a small experiment. When you see something or someone, feel that you are seeing this object with the surface of the exposed part of your eyes. Observe your breath. Observe the tension of your eye balls.
Now let’s shift the awareness. Feel the weight of your whole eyeballs. Feel your eye socket that is filled with liquid in which eyeball float. Imagine that light is entering into these eye sockets and it travels from the back of your eyes via optic nerves, to the back of your brain, the visual field. This is where you are actually seeing. When you see an object in this way, see how the tension in your eye muscles shift. Now, start including the peripheral of this object. More and more and more. Include your body in the whole ‘seeing’ process. Feel your breath. Feel your skin. Feel your body in the environment.
When you can start entering into this encompassing consciousness, you can start seeing unseen aspects of things/people. Your vision becomes more 360 degree, more permeating, more expansive. You breathe with ease. And you can see with your whole being.
