The Contemplative Life

Ep 94 Growing our Awe-wareness


Listen Later

When was the last time you saw something so beautiful and inspiring that it caused you to stop in order to really take it in? Maybe you heard a story about how someone else was doing something to make the world a better place, and it moved you to feelings of hope and excitement of your own. Awe, as we’ve learned through the sciences, is experienced on a continuum, everything from mild amusement to complete overwhelm. And while it’s easy to notice the things that completely amaze us, is it possible to grow our capacity for awe, to live with more Awe-wareness?
