Welcome back to daily breath. I'm DePach shop. What key ingredient do we need for awareness?

It's something I call spiritual sobriety. Spiritual sobriety means not getting caught up in emotional melodrama or hysteria or recycling panic or stress or fear or just

recycling everybody's opinions and so one way to be spiritually sober is to be

be aware of any tendency to get stuck in drama or addictive behaviors or emotional demands. Here are some more things you can do to be in touch with your

being which is always in the present. You can catch yourself not paying attention. You can listen to what

you're actually saying. You can observe yourself speaking. You can watch yourself and watch how you

react. So before you react, observe your reaction to react. You can remove

yourself from the details. You can remove yourself from the details. You can follow the rise and

fall of your own energy, resting when fatigued and acting when energetic.

You can question your motivations and the motivations of your ego.

You can immerse yourself in a spiritual milieu, what is called a sanga, a community of spiritual seekers.

And once you commit yourself to being sober, there is nothing more to do.

Presence will appear on its own.

And when it does, your awareness cannot help but be

in what we call timeless now. Oh, Thanks once again for listening and let's continue our conversation tomorrow.
