What makes you stop in your tracks and takes your breath away?
What makes you pause to soak up the incredible beauty or vastness of it?
What’s a piece of music that washes your stress away?
What’s a work of art that completely absorbs you and transports you to a different place?
This is the experience of awe.
Awe is becoming the subject of promising research to improve both physical and mental health, and I was recently interviewed for an article on the subject by Renee Hilton-Jones for Curtin University’s online journal, Western Independent. I encourage you to read the inspiring article here.
