Awareness of sensations is considered the first foundation of mindfulness because whatever we experience — feelings, emotions, thoughts and sensory perceptions — also arise as sensations in our body. When mindful of our body, we open to the changing stream of sensations without grasping or resistance. The experience might be fear or joy, it might be the intensity of aliveness, or it might be numbness. ….This mindfulness is not a distanced kind of witnessing. […] we should “observe sensations within sensations.” This means not imagining our hand, for instance, but actually directly feeling from the inside the energy that is our hand, as it is in any given and changing moment. We are training to experience the body from the inside out.
Tara Brach, Letting Life Live through us
Slow down, become quiet as possible and observe the miracle of life. The breath is the link with the world. Know fear, anxiety, anger, guilt without the who’s bias.
It is called mindfulness, greatly misunderstood as an intellectual pursuit. It is the opposite of the intellect, it is closer to intuition.
