Techniques that help you get in the present moment, then how to take that feeling deeper. Before we can share the present moment with others we need to learn how to crate this feeling in ourselves first. Understand wht it is and how to simply be. What is the present moment. it is a state that creates a feeling of confidene and trust. It is right here right now. A clear state of being. Natural. One thing that moves your attention away from the here and now is your thinking. We move our thinking/attn/minds forwards and backwards in time. We can create strong feelings doing this. The present moment is a place of non-thinking. It is peace of mind. Physically, the body is in the right here and now. Emotions are thinking. Every bit of thinking that we create generates a feeling and we're wanting to reduce thinking/feeling. Spiritual is peace of mind or the extended gaps between our thoughts. It is/creates peace of mind. How do we get to the present, use the body to get to the present. This exercises puts your full attention/mind on your body. Still body equals a still mind. Focus on keeping your full attention on keeping motionless. Heart rate/breathing continue but everything else that you can consciously control, keep still. Practice statues. after 10 sections try thinking sbout tomorrow... were you able to do that? I bet it felt like you hit a wall, or that a part of you moved. Now we'll add a sense. Sound. 10 seconds. Then add touch. Touch--feeling of your hands on your thighs, your feet on the floor, weight on the chair, feeling of your clothing .Â
There is a bid difference between thoughts and thinking. This is one key understanding. Thoughts can drift into your mind, if you leave it, it floats away. If I engage in that thought, catch it and fuel it... that creates feelings. The trust technique is a zero state of feelings/thoughts. The best way not to engage in the thought is to be OK with it, recognize it, that it's OK and let it go. Â
He says Well Done a lot. Â
The trust technique Be the present by focusing a still body, while listening and feeling the sensation of touch. When thoughts come up that is ok and let them go. Homework is to practice being present for at least 5 minutes a day, it is a skill. Having conscious peace of mind in your life will help you slow down and better able to connect, resolve conflicts/problems and make better decisions. Because you'll have more awareness, be calmer in the state of optimal functioning (heart math), have a more neutral perspective, an engaged brain, and have more moderate thoughts/feelings/behaivors. Â
Making your present moment stronger. You've been practicing being... keeping your body still and focusing on your senses to reduce your thinking levels. It is a special givt to enter the present moment at will, it is even more special to share this gift with your animals. Realizing this gift for both of you is a skill that you'll want to practice. Thinking is hard work. Making your present moment stronger is going to be lookign at your hard work thinkig as a means of making your focus and non-reaction way stronger on many levels. This is your focus gym workout. Your thinking is the resistance and peace is the muscle. You'll be overcomign heavy thinking with the power of peace of mind. Let's get some resistance. You'll need a pen and paper. Make a list of the non-peaceful thoughts that you might have. Examples... paying bill, the need to go shopping. Â
What am I unpeaceful about... write them down. Pause the video. Write the lsit then give a score 1-10. 10 means it generates a lot of discomfort, 1 means little discomfort. Hardly any thinking at all, not creating many feelings. Level of distressing thoughts. Now go through each topic and identify where you feel it in our body. Thoughts generate emotions which are a physicological sensation/response. Where do you feel it? Â
