Is Awareness the Answer to a Better World?

When I first began practicing Yoga, I noticed things more. I realized smells, tastes and sounds at a much more heightened level. I was told that this might happen and a part of me thought that it was because I was expecting to notice things more, I actually did notice things more. After becoming a regular practitioner of Yoga, I realized that other new Yoga students were feeling the same heightened awareness.

They say is an integral part of Yoga. Becoming aware. The next stage of awareness involves what is called higher awareness. Higher awareness comes from within and radiates outward. This level of awareness is believed to benefit the world around us. There is a natural process to awareness and the logical results of good and beauty comes from this level of awareness which naturally radiates outward once obtained within.

I often wonder how many of our world leaders practice Yoga. I wonder if it be illogical for countries at odds with one another to practice Yoga for a month, and than come back to talk about their differences? Wouldn't it be wild if after that month of Yoga both leaders were like, "I'm not even mad at that anymore!" And then everyone gives everyone a hug and then everyone lives happily ever after. Yea, right!
