Feeling the NOW, right now...

You can't see, taste or touch the NOW but you can feel it. In fact, you are feeling (experiencing) the NOW, right now.... and now... and now, all the time.

The NOW feels delicious, sumptuous, tasty, flavorful. The NOW feels refreshing and peaceful. The NOW is totally satisfying, now...

When you feel the NOW, that is when you feel as healthy and as happy as you can be. The NOW is judgment free. There are no regrets or disappointments living in the now. The NOW is complete and that make you experience yourself as complete.

If you are not experiencing the NOW, now, that's because you are short-circuiting your experience of the NOW by having your attention focused on your thoughts rather than focusing your attention on your feelings of NOW.

To feel (experience) the NOW, now, focus on something outside yourself that is more important to you than the non-stop thoughts galloping through your mind. Focus your attention on a rose, a plant, a blade of grass, a chicken or a fish.

Focus your attention on a tree, a cloud, maybe the stars in the sky.. Allow yourself to be drawn into what you are looking at because all of those things live in the NOW. Allow yourself to be the cloud, the bird, the tree, the baby in your arms but for a brief moment. When allow yourself 'to be' what you are totally absorbed into, you experience the now NOW and feel the power of the now coursing through your veins.

ALLOW YOURSELF TO BE DRAWN INTO THIS FROZEN MOMENT IN TIME.
A picture is always a snapshot of the NOW, with nothing added. Focus
your attention on this picture, and feel the NOW now...

Unhappiness has a Purpose..

The purpose of unhappiness is to make you realize that the happiness you seek is not out there somewhere, it lives within you.  It lives within the thoughts you think.

Unhappiness needs the past to exist (even if the past was only a second ago) or the future to exist (even if the future is only a minute from now) . The only way you can escape unhappiness is by living in the moment, by becoming fully absorbed in the moment.

Being fully absorbed in the moment squeezes unhappiness out of your mind when you are doing something you love doing that makes you happy to be alive.

Be-ing True To Ourselves

This article published with permission from my friend Frederick Zappone

Happiness is a by-product of being true to ourselves. The fact is, many people are not being true to themselves. They are true to other people, or beliefs and philosophies that do not serve them. In my lifetime, I have spent a great deal of time and energy trying to please other people. In the end, I pleased no one - not even myself - until I dramatically altered my thinking and learned how to live, fully, in the present moment.

Living in the present moment is a habitual way of thinking and acting that must be practised and developed like any other life-affirming skill. If you look at your own life and see the times when you were not happy, chances are that you were upset because you were chewing on the old bones from your past. Perhaps you were also worried about the future. Worrying about the future and chewing on "old bones" from your past have little value to offer you other than to cause you to be upset, anxious or stressed out.

You should think about the future only long enough to see if there is anything you can do in the present moment to make sure your future turns out the way you want it to turn out. The moment your thoughts about the future turn into "worry thought" that is telling you there is nothing you can do about the future, right now! It also tells you that you are living in the future rather than being fully present in the moment of now.

What are the roadblocks to living in the present moment? Our physical bodies always live in the present moment, but often times, our minds live elsewhere. How many times have you been in meeting, physically present, but you found your mind wandering off to other places? How many times have you listened to a speaker and found your mind drifting off to somewhere else? How many times have you had a conversation with someone, but you were not really present with them? These are all incidents of not living fully in the moment.

If we cannot get our minds to be where our bodies are, it causes us to feel pressure and stress. The solution is to bring our minds back to where our bodies are located. If we cannot bring our minds back to our bodies, then I suggest that we take our bodies to where our minds are located. A simple example: Your body is in church, but your mind is out fishing at your favorite stream or lake. If your mind refuses to come back to church, then go to the lake and meet your God there. The moment our bodies and minds are both located in the same place at the same time, we are fully present. And it is only in the present moment where we will find the true happiness we seek.
