Dear colleagues, may I ask how you interpret the phrase “engage with life in a more rich and nuanced way” in the passage below, taken from a workbook on a meditation practice called the "wheel of awareness", in which you distinguish the hub of the wheel, representing pure awareness, from the rim, which represents the various objects of awareness, the “knowns” are (e.g. the sensory input, emotions, thoughts...).
In particular, I was wondering about the verb “engage with life”...is it somewhat stronger than “live life”? And how does it relate to “in a much more rich and nuanced way”? Unfortunately, I don’t have other pieces of information about this woman...
Thank you so much for any hint!


*****************

A mother once said to me as I taught this practice (a meditation practice called the Wheel of Awareness) to her and her adolescent son, "I never knew I was more than my thoughts or feelings." For her, distinguishing hub from rim was a revolutionary experience that empowered her to *** engage with life in a much more rich and nuanced way ***.
