Freeing my Attention

Let’s explore attention. Maybe we find a link to our being, even pure Beingness.
Taking a gradient approach to learning, it’s important to share the material.
With attention on empowering the audience I first had to free my own attention. Handle my own fixed attention on:
I am not prepared.
Who do I think I am?
They won’t show up.
They’ll forget the book.
They’ll hate me.
This is just like school and they hate school.
This is Boring.
Then My BIASED ATTENTION:
They don’t care.
They’re uninterested.
They are going to resist.
Then My OTHER DIRECTED ATTENTION:
I don’t have to do this.
This is weird.
Then My DISORIENTED ATTENTION:
I can’t pay enough attention to do the exercise.
I wish I was somewhere, anywhere else.
I can’t pay attention THIS time of the month. These hot flashes.
What’s this all about?
And then the audience PARTICIPATED! Life's a party when you participate.
The class emphasis was on how to improve consulting skills with clients with free attention. How working on attention opens channels to understanding and creativity.
“This class opened my mind to new ideas.”
We laughed a lot. We saw how we tag our attention with beliefs and emotions, which is not the same as being present.
THEY PARTICIPATED!
“Wow, paying attention is really an investment in my future.” said one in the front.
“I am going home and look at my house through ‘baby eyes.” said the tall guy.
"I am my attention." said the woman behind the blond.
"Paying attention, free attention is better than Prozac." said the guy in the corner.
"We are all attention junkets" said the lady realtor.
"It'as shocking how much attention we can really have if we really, really want it ." Me
