I read something lately that deeply moved me – a shift in consciousness took place. I ask myself am I being a slave to my addictions? Have I been swept in the era of iPhones and iPad which I find myself difficult to resist? When I am not checking my phone, I notice a wave of restlessness starting to take over. I become agitated, restless. Outside my daily meditation and yoga practice, I became aware that I cannot sit still and enjoy the present moment. The impulse to be always connected to the virtual world is overtaking. I am thankful to have this realization. Realization will be the first step towards mindfulness.
