Have you ever taken very deep breaths, calmed yourself into a moment of clarity and considered how very sacred and fleeting this life is?
When you remove your mind’s default settings of living in the past or thinking about the future, you realize that all you really have is this very moment.
Before this moment was the past. It contains billions of years of star collisions and the astronomical improbability that led to creating the one and only you.
But it’s over. It’s past. Even yesterday and the last hour are gone forever. Phantasms.
Beyond this moment is the future we cannot see, but the near certainty that your physical life is a blink in the eye of the vast expanse of time.
So what is real?
This breath.
This moment.
They truly are sacred and fleeting.
The ancient wisdom traditions urge us to place our focus upon the here and now.
Instead of obsessing about thoughts of the past or the future, you can choose to be conscious of the blessing, the gift that you have right now.
All recorded and unrecorded history since the Big Bang and beyond culminates right now.
Right here.
Where you are.
With your eyes on these words.
In this sacred moment.
(It’s actually mind blowing when you think of the implications)
When you acknowledge this sacred moment you are operating from a higher level of consciousness.
You are no longer trapped in the Māyā.
Anything and everything happens in this moment, including magic.
The magic to see your life and your world as you were born to see it and born to become.
Don’t take my word for it.
Try it.
Breathe.
Deeply.
Let go of past and future and truly exist right here, right now.
Distractions may pull you into thoughts of the past or the future – this is normal. Just consciously keep your attention and your breath to the here and now.
Stay here.
Stay now.
For just a little longer.
Open up to the experience.
And see where it takes you.
I have a feeling you will enjoy the ride.
I realize that if I’m not here and now, worry and anxiety surely creep in. When I focus on the moment I’m in, I realize that I’m perfectly content, from one breath to the next. Thank you for the reminder and Happy Birthday to You!
Love you always!
