Namaste, Welcome to SAM-VAD (Together In Conversation), this is where we try to draw your attention to things that matter and the importance of our attention, why is that? Now ‘let us remember this again, ‘What we give our Attention to matters,’ as Our life’s experience would ultimately amount to whatever we had paid attention to.
Attention: is as fundamental as food; and we go blundering about, seeking ways to assuage the craving, instead of learning how to provide ourselves with what we need, sensibly and calmly. Once our attention is drawn to the mechanism of why and what we give attention to, it is as if a veil has been stripped off and we become freer in our action and choices. And that is our endavour.
This week I bring to your attention another excerpt which we have titled – Change & Simple Pleasures from the book titled ‘Healthy Pleasures’ by David Sobel and Robert Ornstein.
Playing to the natural strengths of mind and body, Healthy Pleasures explores the many ways to extend our lives as we enrich them, by understanding the crucial role of pleasure in our health.
Using the latest research in medicine, biology, and psychology, the authors — a renowned brain researcher and a leading expert in preventive medicine — propose a new way to manage health, with less effort and more fun.
Change & Simple Pleasures
The human world has changed, and changed drastically from the one we were “fashioned” to sense. Many sensual pleasures we are primed to receive are blunted in the modern world. City dwellers often miss the glory of the sunrise and sunset as they hustle in their commutes. The synthetic foods in our markets bear little resemblance to the tasty real foods we were built to eat. Our ancestors heard the pleasant sounds of a stream and wind rustling in the trees, but for us it’s the din of traffic and horns blaring.
