- 소개/요약This article explores the art of awareness and its implications for the clinical pedagogy. Based in the traditions of the spiritual practice, the art of awareness is beginning to be used in such diverse fields as psychotherapy, body works, health programs, and education. It is the art of being aware of what is taking place within and without in the present moment. In this sense, it is alternately called ‘attention,’ ‘observation,’ ‘mindfulness,’ and ‘witness.’ The primary function of awareness is ‘dis-identification,’ a function to dis-identify with whatever the contents of consciousness are and to see them all as they emerge and pass away. Another function is ‘deautomatization,’ a function to deautomatize
the habitual and mechanical ways of behavior. Awareness is a transpersonal dimension of consciousness, differed from the thinking, feeling, and sensing self. Spiritual traditions found that it brings about a radical transformation of consciousness called ‘awakening’ and ‘enlightenment.’ It is, however, not an actuality but a latent potentiality to be cultivated by continuous practice. The second part of this article refers to Aldous Huxley’s exposition on this subject. He developed essential ideas on the “nonverbal humanities” that encompass a variety of method ranging from spiritual practices to psychophysical trainings. Among them the Alexander Technique caught his attention in providing a method to enhance “elementary awareness” of the kinesthetic sense. Huxley combined this psychophysical technique with the spiritual practice of awareness to develop a comprehensive idea of the education of awareness.
