I love this. As a spiritual director in training, I am learning to pay attention to people’s bodies and things they do not notice. I think what I am paying attention to is how hard it is to pay attention to everything - almost like focusing on everything is focusing on nothing. Because I am trying to learn where to attuned deeply and it is a balance I have not mastered.
How wonderful, Jamie. When I've been there is the past, I pay attention to my own "I." There is my doer/leader "I" that believes it's hard to pay attention to everything and strives hard to balance everything. But that's not the "I" that I give attention to in coaching clients anymore. The "I" that coaches already has awareness of all that is happening. Can I sink back into that? With practice! :)
A lot of times I feel the need to pay attention to everything because of how I am being trained, but when I feel most me, I feel as you describe here, present and aware. I hope that makes sense.
