We are always imposing barriers to inquiry. What will keep us asking questions and exploring?<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Inquiry and analysis follow no model, and there are several directions that lead toward a more comprehensive knowledge\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 If we begin at a level that is too abstract, we may come under the influence of theoretical constructs that lack transforming power. But if we look at our own experience to see how patterns we rely on are established, insight is directly available.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d LOK p.287.<\/p>\n
We always direct our attention outward, hungry to grab everything that appears. And many times this only brings tension and dissatisfaction. Our inner environment is forgotten most of the time. It is disconnected from the events that happen all around us. We forget that we have a body until it starts hurting.<\/p>\n

Techniques of relaxations and meditation have given me the capability to explore this rich and fulfilling inner environment. I made many discoveries making my body awareness ever increasing: each tiny sensation, the many inner connections, the feeling tones, how awareness and breathing dissolves tension, the space of the chest, and the fainting borders of the skin.<\/p>\n
