Presence, Present Moment and Going With The Flow

If you have read or heard about meditation, you may have come across the buzz words in the title but didn't understand their correlation.

Meditation is a spiritual practice where an individual uses a technique to achieve a mentally clear and emotionally calm and stable state.

Some people focus on an object or thought and some un-focus to be in meditation.

The fact is that you become mentally clear when the space between your thoughts is increased whatever be the technique for meditation. There is no such thing as “no thought” because there will always be a thought conscious or sub-conscious at some interval unless you are dead!

You become emotionally calm when you allow, during your practice of some meditation technique, your pent up emotions in your sub-conscious to rise to the surface like bubbles and be expressed. Uncontrollable crying is often an outcome and the end result is calmness.

With meditation, when the space between your conscious thoughts increases and your sub-conscious emotions dissolve, you will feel your own “presence” as something larger than your body and mind and encompassing your whole being with a reassuring warmth.

You are right here in the "present moment" because you are no longer worried and anxious about your future and you are no longer uncomfortable about some past happening. 

When you are in the present moment, you are then consciously “going with the flow” of each present moment as it progresses with different events in the course of the day. In your calmness, you accept every moment with whatever present it brings and because there is space between your thoughts, which is actually where your presence resides, you respond to each moment with wisdom. It is within this space that you get in-spirations, in-sights and in-tuitions. You now have a “presence of mind” because the space between your thoughts is awareness, tapped into the all-knowing super-intelligent “Universal Consciousness"! This is what is referred to as mindfulness.

When you go with the flow, you have consciously befriended life and no longer think of it as opposing you. You have started to walk hand-in-hand with time and now, you are grateful for your past, you accept the present and love the future. You are not sitting still in some timeless realm nor are you shying away from events, instead you are engaging with each present moment with presence of mind and going with the flow... Isn’t it exciting that time brings to you waves upon waves of people, places and circumstances to engage with? Life can be as joyous as waves upon the ocean landing on the beach as you walk. I feel you will become passionate about life if you think of it this way!

To receive each “present” from the universe with the same excitement with which you receive a precious gift, find a meditation technique and keep marching on...
