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.

Reviews

Quick and calming. Nice soothing voice and music.

Very good short guided meditation.
I found the soundscape very conducive to following the breath and staying focused. More great content from Charles!
INSIGHT TIMER needs to simplify the process of leaving a tip. Too much effort required.
If it required a few clicks tips would increase greatly.

This was wonderful, thank you Charles! ❤️

Another great meditation from an excellent teacher 😸

Beautiful. Being the present moment rather than just being present.

So calming and so nice to have space to just be. Thank you again.

Loved it! ❤️ Thank you Charles

So peaceful🙏🏻

What a refreshing concept. I AM the present moment. A brilliant ‘single’ being added to your album. Deepest gratitude 🙏🏼

Simple calm beautiful thank you 🙏

Charles is one of those people who, when describing what presence is for him, turns the prism ever so slightly so that what one has heard a thousand times before is now entirely new.

This was amazing!

This was a wonderful surprise when I wasn’t expecting a surprise but, along the way, discovered that I needed one. I loved the gentleness, the ‘allowing’-ness, and felt like I circled to somewhere and circled back and feel contentment and joy at the process.

Simple. I liked this

A powerful meditation that, for me, deepens wu wei

Thank you!
