Attention is the process of directing our conscious awareness to particular aspects of experience. Awareness is our subjective experience of our inner and outer environment. We can be aware of various aspects of our environment without necessarily centering our attention on these. For example, we have all probably had the experience of being in a room full of people while conversing with a friend. We are aware of the other people in the room, but our attention is focused on the conversation at hand. One might say that paying attention is a way of being more fully aware.
Every moment is an opportunity to deepen and broaden our attention to what matters--to rest in our experience and witness what arises in ourselves and with others. When we attend to ourselves, we pay attention to what matters--what we think, feel, and sense about our experience, and also how we think, feel, and embody our experience as it relates to our life purpose. When we attend to each other, we become seamless extensions of each other's experience, expanding our capacities to realize our potential just by being present.
