The Power of Awe Quotes

“The A.W.E. Method
A.W.E stands for Attention, Wait, Exhale and Expand.
Attention means
Focusing your full and undivided attention on something you value, appreciate or find amazing.
Wait means slowing down or pausing.
Exhale and Expand amplifies whatever sensations you are experiencing.
A.W.E. is a quick and easy intervention that can cultivate awe in the ordinary, at any time and in any place.
Cultivating awe for less than a minute a day reduces symptoms of depression and anxiety, improves social connection, decreases loneliness, reduces burnout, lowers stress, increases wellbeing and reduces chronic pain.
The capacity to help heal the mind and body is only one of awe's superpowers.”

“One of the most remarkable aspects of awe is its ability to help us feel more connected to others.
Find a place where you can be alone and then use the A.W.E. Method while thinking of a person who has been most dear to you in your life. They may be living or passed away.
Take time to create a clear picture of that person, maybe a particular memory or scene that captures their essence.
Hold the image in your mind, give it your full attention.
Wait the length of a full inhalation or maybe more than one, while you take time to appreciate this person. Imagine looking into their eyes.
Consider what they mean to you, what you learned from them or how you grew as a result of knowing them.
We can be in the moment while remembering. While you remember and feel, just remember and feel.
Then, when you're ready, exhale fully and allow yourself a moment of awe.”

“In The Order of Time, physicist and author Carlo Rovelli sums up this dynamic beautifully:
"It isn't absence that causes sorrow. It is affection and love. Without affection, without love, such absences would cause us no pain. For this reason, even the pain caused by absence is, in the end, something good and even beautiful, because it feeds on that which gives meaning to life.”

“Consciousness is not some abstract concept. It's our state of mind - our thoughts and feelings at any given moment.
The 3LC model (Spacious, Heart, Safety) suggests the state of consciousness we are in will always influence how we perceive a situation, the choices we see for ourselves and our actions.
In other words, it affects everything.
Three Levels of Consciousness
Spacious - AWE - Expansive, Nonverbal, Nontemporal
Heart - Appreciation, Gratitude
Safety - Reward - Purposeful Proactive Productive
- Stuck - Anxiety Anguish Ambivalence
- Threat - Fight Flight Freeze”

“The Wait in A.W.E. is the pause in which we experience presence - that quality of spaciousness where the mind isn't overthinking and processing but being an observer.
With presence, there's no agenda. Nothing to do and no place to be. There's no thinking. Just being.
Because we have chosen to be in the presence of something we value, appreciate or find amazing, our experience of that moment is nourishing and powerful.
Waiting, when done with intention, is one way to be fully present.”
