In the moments which catch us by surprise, we feel it in our body as well as our attention. There is a surge of energy indicating, beyond our seeing that something is happening. Something has interrupted our normal breath pattern.  Something has caused us to stop what we are doing and turn our focus towards something else.  The feeling of the surge can be overwhelming as it jerks us awake and to attention. On one level there is a positive experience of being alive which might explain why people love surprises.  Depending on the context, however, it may seem negative because of the origin of the surprise.  When you factor in one’s previous experience with surprises another layer is added to how we feel about the surge happening within us.  The surge of energy in our hearts is something our minds will seek to explain and categorize. What if we could allow the surges to be just an experience in our hearts without the explanation?  What if we allowed ourselves to be brought to attention and feel alive in our body as a recognition of being alive?  What if we could connect to the surges and redirect them to where we want our focus to be?  We all know what it is like to experience surges in our body but how attuned could we become if we intended to pay attention to how those surges are experienced in our hearts.  It may sound ridiculous but we get an opportunity to do so each time we take a breath.  We are conditioned to think surges only occur when we are surprised, but they are happening each time we take a deep breath.  Our hearts physically and possibly on other levels experience surges with each influx of new oxygen.  Most of us have grown so unconscious of our breathing we do not notice how it surges the energy in our hearts until we are surprised.
