This morning while cooking breakfast, I noticed the bubbles forming and bursting on the surface of my porridge; intent upon their job. I held onto those air trapped moments, soaking them in! It’s difficult to explain the sensation of absolute awareness that I felt, other than it being a feeling of enhanced appreciation and total bliss. Life was beautiful; just bubbles and me!
How often do you engage fully in the moment? Can you describe the sensation?
Hi... failte (Irish for welcome! and pronounced fall-thhha).
I'm a newbie to blogging, here just over a year, but what a great year it has been!
I've turned the corner to 50 recently and two things become more relevant...time and experiences!
Material possessions are less important! Using time wisely and truly experiencing each day holds a new significance for me!
Much love,

Quite true, when you try too hard, the sensation appears false somehow but it’s still developing the habit of just ‘being’ and expressing gratitude for the beauty of now. X

So good to be so fully in the breakfast moment. Mindfulness is a healthy way forward.

They are Maranda and they can be experienced as often as we want, if we are willing to pause and appreciate the moment.

once you have a ‘taste’ you hanker for more but when chased it seems illusive and other times it arises spontaneously 🙂

I love doing this when I eat. Every flavour, every texture, the smells, the sense of swallowing… :o) Makes you slow down!

Funny thing, I did the same thing this morning for breakfast and stirred until the bubbles formed. 🙃 I enjoy my mornings!!
