I just got back from a week on the Hawaiian island of Kauai. I always think that I’m going to read and write when I’m on vacation.

Yet, just the opposite happens. While my intentional awareness is on HIGH, my need to reflect on my observations is nonexistent. I’m content to just take it all in. To take deep breaths. To visually embrace and let the empowering effects of beautiful scenery settle in my soul.

I know that this intentional awareness will birth a new insight, a more relaxed being. I know that the effects of my intentional awareness will empower me in subtle ways that enrich my present and in ways that won’t be obvious right away.

This is the glory of awareness. What you notice matters, but you don’t have to worry about why or how. The gift of awareness gives in the moment and in your future perspective.

So enjoy the present with intentional awareness and know that this awareness empowers you conscious mind and your intuition. Intentional awareness is a vacation for the senses and the mind.
