Awareness is the key (Ageless Body, Timeless Mind, Chopra)

     "Everything I can possibly experience begins and ends with awareness; every thought or emotion that captures my attention is a tiny fragment of awareness; all the goals and expectations I set for myself are organized in awareness." states Chopra.  Maintaining continuous awareness is the key to health, timelessness and life.  When awareness is broken, "Vast areas of our bodily existence go out of our control, leading to sickness, aging, and death." explains Chopra.  This loss is equivalent to not being aware of every part of our bodies, our cells included and the connection we have with them.  It may seem like your cells are running on auto-pilot but they are actually created through your own thinking and training.  We are connected mind, body, and spirit.
    I know when I've knocked over a glass of water or tripped on my own feet that I was not paying attention to my body.  I was most likely in some other moment of life, past or present.  Today, as I walked down the flight of stairs at work, I said, "I'm walking, left foot, right foot...Now, I'm walking down the hall..."  It's seems silly but I can honestly remember, vividly the whole trip.  That's the thing about being aware and in the moment.  You will consciously do things and you will remember the details.  By being aware you will remember where you set your keys or your cell phone.  Furthermore, you will be happier because you won't be obsessing about the future or past.  Stay present, be aware and practice by just noticing your foot steps.
