Principle Number 4
The past does not exist, nor does the future. The only thing that exists is the present moment.
We have all heard of exercises or meditations on present-moment awareness. Anything that brings your awareness to the now will be beneficial. Let’s break down some of the problems with being anywhere but the present:
- Thinking of or dwelling in the past is detrimental in that you bring the past into the present as a shadow of its former self. The past then has the potential to change either for the better or worse. The past is essentially ghost images of what once was. As we bring them with us in time, we, more often than not, irrevocably pollute the memories while simultaneously polluting our present. End the toxic pattern of dwelling in the past. Learn and move on.
- As we look into the future, we bring with us fears and concerns and plant them like seeds. You see, the universe will immediately start creating what you think of. Every thought has enough power to start the process of creation. If you plant a seed, then look at it every day, then when it sprouts, tug on it, or try desperately to protect it, you will inevitably kill it. 99.9% of everything you ever worried about never came to be. Stop wasting your time worrying. I know, easier said than done. Here are some exercises:
4.MANAWA A. Be here with touch (shape, texture, temperature, weight, smell, taste).
B. Be here with sound (natural, man-made, music, inner).
C. Be here with sight (shape, color, brightness, contrast, curvilinear)
D. Be here with spirit (awareness of energy, presence).
Spend some time every day practicing progressive relaxation. You can use any of these within your normal meditations. The more you tune into your universe, the more you will expand your awareness.
There are various levels of “nows”. There is this moment (that just passed), then there are these series of moments, then there is a greater now, a lifetime now, a civilization now, and it goes on. It’s easy to get caught up in the greater now, however, this can also lead to bringing in the past and predicting the future. As a clairvoyant, I can tell that the moment you see the future it changes. Choose the future you want by being it now. Choose wisely.
