Experiencing awe can help us slow down and connect to the world around us. So how can we harness the power of this feeling? Host Dacher Keltner leads us in a colorful meditation to bring about awe.

Practice:
- Please find a space, either inside or outside, where you can take a moment and pause and look slowly at a scene in front of you.
- Settle into a pattern of deep breathing and ease. Really focusing on how that pattern of inhalation and exhalation relaxes your body and slows your heart rate down.
- Now cast your gaze over the space around you. Take in what you see in the scene in front of you.
- You may shift your attention to colors present in the things around you or step back and get a sense of the scene in a more holistic way.
- Notice the variations and differences in the various colors in your visual field.
- What feelings do the colors evoke in you?
- Now, gently close and then open your eyes and notice how you feel.
