I think we have all heard this often enough, I know I have. "Live in The moment".... the question is what does it mean and how do you do it? You know I have caught myself living in the moment not knowing how I got there and also wanting to without knowing how. The truth is it is not always that easy to do ~ I have been kinda studying it and thought I might throw out my finding or my perception of living in the moment. Living in the moment for me is like a full concentration on where I am and what I am doing ~ fully immersed! This means that it has my total attention ~ I am experiencing what it looks like, how it feels, it's sound, it's taste.... basically I am experiencing it as it is, through all of my senses in real time without judgment or thoughts of changing it. You literally become part of it. This is not always easy to do because most of the time we are thinking about what happened yesterday and/or worried about what will happen tomorrow. Practicing living in the moment is just like a meditation ~ practicing letting go of the past hurts, thoughts, feelings and the future thoughts and worries and allowing yourself to just be where you are fully experiencing life through all of your senses. When we are not living in the moment it's kinda like we are split into pieces experiencing past, present and future thoughts and feelings all at once. (Our energy is split!) We feel scattered and torn from the moment (watered down). Ultimately what is happening now is real, what happened yesterday is pulling us back and thoughts of what will happen tomorrow are trying to drag us forward. Picture yourself being pulled in two different directions.... it's not fun. Living in the moment is standing where you are without the pull back or forward. It's like feeling something with all of your heart and soul. It is knowing the solid truth and beauty of every moment in completeness. Not waiting for something to show up or afraid of something being taken away. It is being a part of everything all at once and recognizing that you are part of the dance of all of creation! Like stepping into a magical dream and not wanting to leave. Living in the moment is knowing and being without a thought. It is the pure flow of love and beauty and belonging ~ it is your Divine truth in all of it's potency. You are free, you are the beginning, the middle and the end all at once ~ you are complete ~ nothing to add, nothing to take away, you are a part of everything, You are purely Divine! Unburden yourself , practice living in the moment ~ and you will find your truth!
