How Detachment links to Appreciation

[Keryo Koffa]

I've been implementing conscious awareness into my activities, like Leo once said "Awareness itself is curative"

Before eating, before going places, before choosing to engage in something, I wait two minutes and then do it

This time makes me aware of how whatever I'm doing conditions my happiness and becomes habitual/karma

This waiting gives me time to reflect and appreciate the activity for itself fully instead of doing it out of impulse

So then appreciation for food, for fun, for the opportunity, for the life, a short meditation, just a little space

This also brings up suppressed emotions and leads to insights, which is great for actualization and letting go

I guess there's not much special about this aha moment, I just discovered what meditation and mindfulness are meant to do experientially for myself

It does always feel profound when you link up online ideas with your actual life, the insights might sound stupid but are profound
