Ahmad yes. Gratitude for what we’re seeing, and for how well our eyes work, is paramount.

I like to look and examine flowers from nearby, as if I see them for the very first time, which is usually the case. 🙂
I have another technique as well these days. I say: “Over there I see ….”, e.g. a tree. It emphasizes that the tree is over there while I’m here. So consciousness is here and attention is over there. In this way I really look at something and I can also experience distance better.

How much can you enjoy if you’re only consuming?

Our world today pushes us to grab as much as possible as quickly as possible, thus we miss so much of the details of life and the world around us, and much of its newness, beauty and excitement. Of course, to take in more of this newness requires slowing down, and being more attentive to details otherwise missed. I have found personally, that this also helps with “central fixation”, movement and relaxation of my eyes.
