A beautiful article Miguel. The concept Mā really resonates with me. It is a difficult practice in our busy lives for sure but it most definitely feels like a worthwhile one ♥️

Love this Miguel. Makes so much sense. I love walking in nature and I find I have to practice being in the moment - enjoying the trees or the sky or the sun - otherwise I can end up just daydreaming as I walk along ❤️

Thank you Catherine! Daydreaming isn’t too bad. Puts you in a state of liminality that’s actually positive for the brain. It just gets a bad reputation 😂❤️🌸

Out of the summer season, when my local beaches are completely empty, I like to sit and watch the waves, slowly tuning in to the sounds and rhythms around me, step off the treadmill of busyness and give my brain free rein to wander. Thanks for sharing your writing Miguel -
