The ABC’s of Actively Being Conscious – Day 15
Imagine the possibilities if we weren’t hemmed in by past or future!
Imagine if we were all new, now! (And now … and now!)
3 Steps to Being in the Moment
Right now, you can experience yourself as new; as independent of any past or future.
Here’s an exercise you can do that’s very freeing. (There’s also a 5-minute guided audio version of it that you can listen to or download here: Moment Exercise.)
It can help you begin to be aware of (and then break out of) some of your unconscious assumptions about what must be.
- Close your eyes.
- Experience yourself right here, right now, and that’s it. You are not involved in an activity, experiencing a certain mood, in a certain place or anything. You’re just here, right now, and only this instant exists. Can you get that sense?
- Realize that no particular “next moment” is inevitable. There is nothing else attached to here and now.
Notice, too, how conditions or even situations can not exist in this moment because by definition they both require continuity.
Feel the freedom and possibility in that!
So tell us: Did that exercise take you to an unusual sense of this moment’s context and/or a different understanding of your place in a “timeline”? I’d love it if you’d let me know!
See you tomorrow!
