When we become aware of something we are giving it our full attention at that moment. A gust of wind may bring our awareness to the weather at that moment and the feeling of the breeze bathing our skin. We pay attention to crossing the street when we become aware of a moving vehicle. In meditation and energy work we take that awareness to the more subtle levels of energy in our bodies. Sensation is our awareness of a feeling in the body. Whether it be pain or pleasure, anxiety or peace, the sensation of openness and joy we find in love, or the feeling of contraction that comes from fear. 

 Awareness of the energy in our bodies requires unbroken attention to any area of the body we are focusing on at that moment. If we focus on our solar plexus and pay attention to our breath moving into this area, we become aware of a subtle sensation at our point of focus. If you imagine fingernails dragging across a chalkboard then you may experience the awareness of the same sensation in the solar plexus as well. This psychosomatic sensation is produced by the pitch you generate from your inner ear.  

 Awareness is an integral part of the tonal chakra development system as we will use this awareness of the subtle energies in the body, in conjunction with the tone we will consciously generate with our inner ear, to locate and open our chakras. We will bring awareness to the sensation that the tone from our inner ear creates and then adjust that tone to the location of one of the chakras. 

 We will also bring awareness to our breathing as we guide pranic energy, with the breath, to the chakra now identified by our inner tone. We expand our awareness of our energy body as we continue this process, opening the other chakras in our energy body. When all of our chakras are open at once our awareness is expanded to the whole body and our connection to the quantum field.
