arrow-and-oracle:

Sometimes I get completely overwhelmed while thinking of the fact that I exist at all. My heart starts beating faster and I forget to breathe.

I think this every day… To be alive is one thing, but to have the luxury of consciousness?! It is so commonly taken for granted and so very fragile… And what most people don’t realize is that everyone alters their state of consciousness every day. You don’t need drugs, all you need is to take a bite of food or listen to music. Open yourself up to perceiving the subtle energies and daily life becomes a mystical playground. It’s an experience just waking up in the morning, moving through brain waves from sleep to the waking state. And who says it has to stop there? Practice lucidity and mindfulness always… Be constantly alert of sensations and perception. It makes literally anything possible.
