An Exercise: Awe location
This exercise in the location of awe can be done anywhere, but you need to have time to not be distracted or pulled away to a task. Set aside a fixed amount of time, say, 5 minutes to start.
I’ve gotten to thinking about the experience of awe, especially in how it figures into the project of dismantling depression and anxiety. So the question for this essay boils down to: how does awe affect mood?
Ok. If we start with a brief definition from Websters, we get:
“Awe: an emotion variously combining dread, veneration, and wonder that is inspired by authority or by the sacred or sublime.”
