It's not on the other side of you.
A specific practice.
It's not somewhere else.
It's not waiting for us once we become an improved version of ourselves.
It's not there.
It's always here.
I want to work with that knowing today and let's just see what happens.
So let's just first feel what happens in our bodies as we are Connecting with this,
As I'm saying these words,
The idea that it's not somewhere else,
It's not on a perfected version of your life.
It's not on the other side of a practice.
It's just right here.
What happens?
What do you feel in your body?
What happens in your mind?
As we're connecting with this.
And maybe we can close our eyes to help us feel ourselves a little bit more.
Maybe we can take a few breaths in and out being aware of our breath.
It's not somewhere else.
It's right here.
It's not somewhere else.
It's right here.
Right here.
Just feeling what happens with this.
Does your mind sort of Fight this,
Does your mind.
Push back against this and say,
No,
It's not right here.
Right here is just an ordinary moment full of things that are not quite right.
I'm not feeling any sort of.
.
.
Divine experience right now,
So it can't be right here.
Right here,
I'm just being my ordinary self,
My everyday self,
And I'm just feeling ordinary things.
Is your mind resisting a little bit and offering up these?
Thoughts.
If it is,
Let's see what it feels like to just breathe in and out and let these thoughts be here.
And continue to connect with the knowing that It is right here.
We're not pushing back against the mind,
We're just being here.
With the mind.
The mind is right here too.
And maybe the mind is habituated towards looking to the future so maybe it starts to get excited about.
What?
Feeling whole would feel like in the future,
Getting excited about what becoming the best version of yourself would be like in the future.
So just noticing if that happens at all.
And if that is happening,
We can maybe say,
That's okay.
That's okay too.
Have those thoughts about the future,
We're still right here.
And it's right here.
And maybe.
.
.
Your mind or maybe even your body feels a bit of resistance towards this present moment.
The connection that is actually right here,
Maybe part of you feels some resistance to if that's happening.
Let's see what it feels like to just breathe.
Right into that resistance.
We're not fighting it,
We're not leaning away from it.
We're just continuing to know.
That it's right here.
Or continuing to know.
That it is actually right here.
And now we're in another present moment and it's right here again.
It never leaves.
It never separates itself from us.
It's never somewhere else.
It's just right here.
And it's okay for our awareness to forget.
It's okay for our awareness to Go somewhere else temporarily.
It doesn't change the knowing.
That it's still right here.
And if you've closed your eyes,
Let's see what it feels like to open our eyes and still know that it's right here.
What does this feel like to look around the space that you're in and have that visual stimulation coming in?
And still feel.
Bay.
The connection,
The presence,
The wholeness,
It's right here.
I'm gonna go now.
Thank you.
Thank you for.
.
.
Joining in that with me.
I wanted to explore that with you because sometimes when we're really keen about our personal paths and growth and spirituality sometimes without knowing we can begin to believe that what we're seeking is somewhere else.
And so I wanted to just very simply without a set practice.
Take a moment to.
Remember that it's right here.
Always.
Right here.
And with that,
I wish you a beautiful day in your life.
