Laughter. 2 Reply Malag3 months agoMalagProbably when I’m in an activity such as hiking in the hills or sailing in a race.

I feel a strong sense of aliveness when I’m singing a song when I pour my heart and soul into each word and note; AND I feel a strong sense of aliveness when I’m gazing silently at a tree or flower. Both activities seem to engender deep connections with Life, and both are equally appreciated such that I can’t honestly choose which one to give a label of “most” to. 7 Reply Wiltrud3 months agoWiltrudTo see that my children have become happy adults despite a difficult family time made me feel alive today. A walk along the coast of the Baltic Sea with the sun in my face, the fresh wind etc. is nature’s gift to make me feel most alive, longing to go there for a weekend soon, 5 Reply pkr3 months agopkrMother Nature….🍂🍁🍂 5 Reply Rebecca A Burton3 months agoRebecca A BurtonI am most alive when I’m making deep connections with other human beings or my Australian cattle dog, silently or aloud. Typically this happens while walking outside, so that movement of our bodies lends itself to movement of the conversation or other form of connectedness.. 4 Reply Ed3 months agoEdI am most alive when I choose just this, now, what is. 5 Reply Mica3 months agoMicaWhat comes to mind is – feeling energetic, which I don’t always feel now, as I am aging.

Anything and everything that reminds me how good it can feel to be human. 7 Reply Debra3 months agoDebraSwimming! Diving deeply into the pristine, cool waters until my need for air explodes and catapults me to the surface. In that moment , I am more than alive. I am within and beyond and beholden to Spirit. 11 Reply Javier Visionquest3 months agoJavier VisionquestThat moment, usually just before some catastrophic mishap, when fear is replaced by a presence of the peculiar calmness of flow consciousness. Time seems to stop and all the senses become unified in absolute clarity. I believe the Masters refer to this state as Zen. 4 Reply Anneclaire3 months agoAnneclaireI have just a taste of what you speak of. When I was in my teens I nearly was in a horseback riding accident. The horse ran away with me (I was NOT and experience rider) down a field towards a barbed wire fence. (I learned afterwards this dear horse had the habit of stopping dead at the fence and flinging his riders into it!). I felt this amazing calm.

In prayer & meditation being led to think of others. Talking 1:1 with another sharing experience, strength & hope about living life. 6 Reply GCharlotte3 months agoGCharlotteI feel most alive that I may wake up everyday with God and drink a cup of coffee. My life with my daughter and mother. Being with my father. Speaking to them over the phone. Sketching&drafting. Talking with my brother. Going to Church. 6 Reply Mark Piper3 months agoMark PiperWhen those moments arrest me where I actually feel/experience/understand, “see I am making all things new”. 3 Reply sunnypatti3 months agosunnypattiConnecting with others.
