Consciousness belongs to life, it's a virtue. With its help, we identify emotions. With the help of awareness, we can shift attention from the outside of the body to the inside, observing the naturalness of breathing. It helps us to go beyond normality and notice that between breaths there is a pause, a silence, a presence, a peace. Thanks to it, we can notice what we're thinking, but also that between thoughts there's a space, a silence, without which we wouldn't be able to hear what we're thinking. Even between heartbeats, we find the same calm, the same inner peace, the same perfection unknown to the five senses and the ego. This silence is life, it's you!
