Passage from "Holding the Center" by Richard Strozzi-Heckler

....By scanning our body and locating our center of gravity we begin to see how our attention can be willfully organized and directed to bring a greater vividness to our life. We are able to shift our moods, listen with greater depth to the concerns of others and increase our choices. ... attention training teaches us two foundations of self-organization: First, control follows awareness, and second, energy follows attention. When we're aware of something, for example, we've increased our choices in the way we interact with it. What we're unaware will act on us.
