I think most of us, long to feel passionate. Often when we talk about passion, we think of steamy sex, or a devotion with lots of energy into an art, craft or cause. Having a passion, can provide us with a sense of purpose and help motivate us to go about our day. However, in this longing for passion, the essence of it all, can simply be a desire to feel more alive. Thus, how do we feel more alive?

One way, is through an activation of our senses. By consciously using our senses with a touch of sensuality, we can begin to grasp reality from a more alive perspective. By touching the green moss on a rock in the forest, we can feel that it’s soft and moist. This becomes a contrast to our own warm hands and takes us right into the moment with more presence. By realising that the moss too is alive, we can feel one with nature, and feel more alive.
