THE PRESENCE MUSCLE

We all live NOW, not yesterday, not tomorrow, but NOW. The life contains milions of moments of NOW. As great quote of Eckhart Tolle in the „Power of Now” says:

„The present moment is all you ever have.”

But do we always feel the present moment? Are we aware of it? Do we use it to the fullest?

Being aware of our presence in the NOW, connects you to the unlimited potential within you and the intelligence of source. The time disappears. The struggle ends. We fell braver, but calmer. We don’t need to control things, although we feel more in control. We flow with the infinite God’s energy. We get intuitive impulses and then take inspired actions. The future shines bright, even though it does not really exist while being in the NOW. Sounds great!

So far no PAST factor was mentioned. Here it begins to get harder. There is another way of living, shown in the picture above, where the line goes from the PAST, reaching NOW and based on that building the FUTURE. It’s a linear scheme. We are stuck in the same old energies of what happened yesterday, 2 years ago or even 15 years ago, etc, replying the same old story in our heads everyday, dwelling on what we did wrong, how many failures we had and so on. Negative feelings arise. We feel crap. Pressure grows. The NOW becomes just a mere replica of the past and so is the future. Cause what else can be created when we keep feeling the same by thinking the same thoughts over and over again? And with our feelings we create, so …

When we are fully in the present moment, the time stops and so the thought stops and so the old record in our minds stop! That’s great, now we make the power of past-based thoughts weaker, by not continuing to be involved in them. That means it just require some consistency and discipline with noticing when they trying to get our attention. With time it’ll happen less and less and our Presence muscle will build stronger and stronger. 🙂 Woohoo!

By saying all that I don’t mean to neglect the past, cause it is a great teacher and platform for reflection. Also, there is thousands of memories from the past that we want to remember and when reaching back to those we feel satisfied, proud of ourself, happy. Considering the memories we deem as negative though, it is OUR CHOICE how we interpret them You can use it to draw some productive conclusions, or you can play a victim as long as you want, reproducing the same results.
