What is a Heightened Awareness?


By Guest Blogger Kate Burke,  Author of Noticing Nature’s Intriguing Inspirations


For some time the eastern teachings have known there is a deeper ‘sense of sensing’. Some may call it a ‘presence of awareness’, spirit, soul, stillness, silence, or simply a quite with mind or thought, even emotional intelligence. I happened to be fortunate enough to learn from western teachings which would have really originated from the east. The terms used were presence of awareness, “beingness” and “isness”, meaning it “just is’ what it is. Yes, we can be aware. Yet, “awareness” suggests something beyond ‘aware of’.

So what is “heightened” awareness? In my experience, and I can only really write on my experience, it is really aiming to write on the ‘non-descript’ which may be why there are so many differing words for it. It needs no words to be, just as the blue sky needs no control to be what it already is, nor does it need to control. It seems fair to honour that “awareness” is non-descript and allow each to discover this intriguing nature that’s born within. Some have suggested a non-suffering. Could they be so bold? Well, they have been, Nisargadatta Maharaj, sage from India, for example!

Words or visuals are all thought and perception, yet “being” that awareness that already is born within takes it a step further for exploring an unlimited potential from the inside.Whether that ‘awareness’ is noticed or not, it is there for emotions to move and flow in, on and through. Also, I noticed when I tuned into what is actually here in this moment, rather than “what was” and “the past”, I was much more naturally open and free on an internal level. Beneath is an outrageous joy, and a softness that seems at the deeper true nature of the being. Once, again when allowing the self to discover its own truth beyond what it thinks it truly is, the real nature can be explored internally. What is it that is aware of ‘thinking’? Are you that awareness? Could you welcome and notice that!

That present ‘beneath the surface’ beauty of ‘being’ what you already are, remains just like ‘the clear of clearest’ movie screens upon which the story of life is played upon. If you are open to it, with your mind and heart, you may well discover a ‘greateness’ from deeper within allowing for your infinite nature to be noticed as what it truly is, a freedom beyond any words or pictures whilst still being that exquisite ‘awareness’, in any moment and beyond ! Enjoy the ebook Noticing Nature’s Intriguing Inspirations. I certainly did and do, when in that moment and beyond!

The ebook is available at amazon.com and is dedicated to “thrivors” of sexual assault and rape.

Thank you Lester Levenson, and Hale Dwoskin, from The Sedona Method. The teachings which unravelled “a heightened awareness”. Thank you J. Canfield, Breakthrough To Success Event, where I was first introduced to many resources which expanded who and what I truly am!
