Witness - (verb) to see, hear or know by personal presence and perception
In every moment of every day, we have the power to choose not only what we witness, but how we witness.
The quality of our witnessing is an infinite resource available to us at any given moment.
To focus on a thing lends itself to matters of the head. We can focus on the traffic light or the meal that we are making. We can focus on a message we receive or a result we want to achieve.
This can be a helpful way to turn ourselves from negative mindsets as well. We can focus on what is right with a thing, person, or event rather than what is wrong with a thing, person, or event.
However, to witness something is to take it one step further. It beckons a whole body inner experience. It asks for the feeling component to rise up and lends itself to matters of the heart.
This taps into a type of power that is often unexplored within ourselves. It is a power that involves collaboration. Each sense, each cell, each space is engaged in the experience and it is felt throughout.
This Thanksgiving, as traditions are being reborn, each of us can gather on the inside, go beyond words, thoughts, or lists to the felt experience of gratitude.
Acknowledging the imperfection as this audio is both unpracticed and unpolished in its natural state. But we offer it to you as a reminder that a gift can arrive in many different forms.
Hope you find some value.
