What Does it Feel Like to be Awakened?

Imagine a sunrise, the sky on fire with hues of pink, orange, and red. Recollect the moment just before the sun pops over the horizon… Feel the excited anticipation as you stand, suspended in time and space, breathless from the wondrous sight. Do you feel the tinge of excitement in your body as you await the sun to appear?

This is what it’s like when you awaken. Your body tingles with deep knowingness of new gratitude, and moments of awe and wonder that come to you. In the second when the sun shines over the horizon, you feel as expansive as the sun and sky. And, just as the sky is filled with far-reaching beauty, so is your ability to notice – to awaken to – all that is around and within you. There is a surge of empowerment when you feel this. Your mind and heart are balanced; your whole body is in sync. You are aware of everything.
