Being The Moment

There's a difference between you being present and allowing the present moment to be who you are. When you attempt to be present, you maintain a separation between you and presence. But when you allow presence to be who you are, well, something different happens. Something new. Let's see what happens.

There's a big difference between you being present and allowing who you are to be the present moment. Being the present moment. So you can feel free to allow your eyes to close. Allowing the eyes to close as opposed to you closing them. Allowing the body to relax in the same way. Letting go of any sense of you needing to hold this together and be naturally held together by this present moment. Becoming increasingly open, Porous, Maybe even transparent. Allowing the present moment to be who you are. Being the present moment. Now you might just take a few more deep breaths. You can allow the body to move however it might like to move. And you can allow the eyes to reopen whenever they want to. Being the present moment.

Thank you for that reminder. Some times, most times, it's as simple as the twisting the viewfinder. 🙏

This is a very short track and it is packed for me with.... well with different experiences. First I resisted, how can I be the present moment? Doesn't this make me much bigger than I am.... somehow, is "this allowed"? And then it switched to, I will try this out, and that felt very strange and unfamiliar and also very curious. Later I went for a walk with my dog and had in mind to walk and be just as being the present moment.
Instead of feeling big or important (as present moments are), I felt as an ingredience to these moments, I felt being a part, I felt being the same as everything else I saw and smelt and heard etc. The spectator experiencing from the outside, didn't get bigger but smaller, equal with everything around...... Well... difficult to explain.... I loved this feeling and certainly will try this out more often.
Thanks a lot for this!

Very relaxing, thank you. A lovely little mindfulness meditation for any time of day. A way of resetting and remembering. 🙏🏼🕊

Such a small shift in wording makes a difference. Thank you, Charles.

That was a wonderful experience. I let my body decide. And in the letting go I felt like there was a part of me stepping into light. My mouth smiled, my breath breathed me and expanded my chest. I am trying to love and trust myself and that moment felt like I could.
