397: 3 Minute Thought – What Makes You Feel Alive? Why?
What Makes You Feel Alive? Why? A Meditation by Mark Nepo
Happiness: The feeling of being alive. Marty Rubin
In this episode, I explore a mediation by Mark Nepo that I discovered in his book The Book of Awakening
The meditation is to simply close your eyes, slow the breath, calm the mind and think about a few things that make you feel alive. What are they and why do they make you feel alive?
Next, once you’ve reflected on why they make you feel alive look for the commonalities among them. They commonalities I believe are likely clues as to what you truly value in life. It is these values that we should look for ways of aligning our lives with and in doing so discovering deeper joy.
