You and Me and Present Moment Awareness

 

When I decided, 10 or more years ago, to add my voice to all those other voices who talk about ‘Presence’ and ‘letting go into the present moment’ and ‘the Oneness at the heart of all life’, I wanted, above all, to emphasise that the Oneness at the heart of life and getting in touch with it is not something reserved for special, spiritual or religious people, or Buddhists or Christians, or Zen practitioners or people who meditate or people who are into mindfulness. The Oneness at the heart of life is something we all live in, all the time, whoever we are, whatever we are doing with our lives and whatever we happen to be into and however busy we are.

 

I wanted to say to my friends that this is something that ordinary people like you and me can tune into, right now, by letting go into the present moment. You don’t need a teacher to get started, or a guru and you don’t need to do years of hard work quietening your mind or sorting out your mental and emotional problems before you’re ready for it.

 

Just let go into the present moment and let the Universe be your teacher. Ordinary people like you and me can let go into the present moment and experience the Oneness at the heart of life, right now!  - and it will blow your mind!

 

There are lots of different ways of talking about Present Moment Awareness and ‘letting go into the present moment’. Because of my background, I have a special connection and place in my heart for ordinary people who stand up and speak out for the planet and everything living on it - all the good people I know who are busy, actively growing healthy, supportive and caring communities and the good people I know who are actively protecting and taking care of people and places on the planet, fighting for justice and freedom and the people who are standing strong and united in finding peaceful ways to overcome all forms of prejudice, bullying and abuse.

 

Talking about tuning into Presence and encouraging my friends to let go into the present moment is one of the ways I'm standing up and supporting all those good friends of mine, near and far, who care about what happens to human beings and all the other creatures that make up the amazing diversity of life currently living on this wonderful planet of ours.

 

I do it because I know that ‘letting go into the present moment’ and tuning into the experience of being present in the world is a path of freedom. It's how ordinary people like you and me reconnect with love and compassion. When we realise that living in the present moment reconnects us with love and the whole of life, it blows our mind and changes the way that we think and act!

​

Become a person who is naturally tuned into taking care everyone you meet, taking care of every thing you come across in life and taking care of the planet itself, because you are tuned into love in action and living in the Oneness.

​

Get that process underway; practice present moment awareness!
