At my last public seminar, I was guiding my attendees through an exercise in Awakened Attention.
We all sat with an unwrapped Werthers Original candy on the table in front of us.
I asked everyone to simply look at and experience the candy without thought for a moment, then to slowly unwrap the candy, like it was a delicate and precious gift.
Then, after experiencing its texture and shape, I asked everyone to place it in their mouth and with all of their attention on the candy, experience it without thought.
We all sat in silence for a minute or two, then I asked for feed-back regarding experiences.
After a moment, one young lady looked like she had something to say so I directed my attention to her.
Her face lit up as she said in a beautifully child-like way: "It was the best candy EVERR!"
The whole room erupted with laughter as it was recognized that she so perfectly gave voice to everyones experience, demonstrating the power and pleasure of Awakened Attention.
