When you feel like your life is passing by and everyday, ordinary moment is burying you down, this practice will be helpful to see the bigger picture called "life". We all have busy lives and we tend to miss the most important lesson, which is that everything is temporary.

When you are feeling the mundane,

Ordinary life,

Remember this moment is more precious than you think.

In fact,

A lot more than you think.

You may be passing by someone you believe is a total stranger.

You may be busy driving a car while you count the number of dings from your text messages.

You may be doing a thousand things while you listen to your toddler excitedly explain what color his cup is.

All of these moments,

They are precious.

They go by so,

So fast.

You are mistaking these moments for an eternity.

We are mistaken.

These ordinary moments go by faster than a flash.

We forget this.

We forget the simple truth until something else distracts you and that moment is gone already.

Because the earth is shifting,

The stars are realigning,

The air is changing and the tides are stirring,

People are dying and babies are being born in one moment.

The mixture on this earth is constantly changing.

These moments,

Ordinary,

Everyday moments,

Good,

Bad and everything in between are fleeting.

So stay.

Stay in this moment as fully as you can.

Open your mind's eye.

Pour that coffee with more attention to the sounds.

Listen to your toddler's story without doing anything else.

Drive your car like no one's business.

Walk with eyes wide open.

Stay.

Stay awake in this moment and another,

Then another.

Breathing fully to your lungs and fill.

And breathe out completely.

The next precious moment is already here.

Now gently open your eyes,

Breathing deeply.

And breathe out completely.

Ready to take on the next moment here.

I needed this beautiful meditation today to remind me of how precious every moment is. I’ve been feeling so overwhelmed with work that each moment seems to pass by so quickly. Today, I intend to slow down and be present. This is a moment I’ve never experienced and won’t ever have again, so I need to appreciate it. Thank you for sharing

Beautiful message... I have a toddler and can get caught up easily and forget to just focus on that moment with her. I did focus in on the dog in the background but I did not let it ruin the moment for me, an unexpected moment during a beautiful talk, very symbolic to real life ... 🙏🏻
