JanalovinglifeDear Ones,
We live in extraordinary times. In many ways we are harvesting what our ancestors dreamt of, whether they could actually verbalise it or not. Of course, we too have our own challenges, unique to our modern times. And although the ego aspect of us doesn’t want any challenges at all, they too have their place. They provide the exercise ground where our inner muscles can grow stronger and our light can shine brighter; they initiate us to step more fully into the greatness already present within each of us.
One of the obvious challenges our time offers is the constant stimulation, information and input. The growing amount of it apparently even changes how we perceive time. And so many of us perceive that one day doesn’t have twelve hours anymore and instead it feels like it has only eight.
The key to finding inner balance and true alignment is not to try harder to “fit everything in” but to allow ourselves to actually do the opposite of what the mind is telling us and step back from the mind noise. When we allow ourselves to be fully in the present moment and grounded, we are not just “improving” reality, we are perceiving reality from a totally different vantage point.
We step back and allow ourselves to rest in the present moment as it is right now. We are no longer lost in the endless meanders of the mind stream. We strip reality of anything artificial, unnecessary, marginal and actually distracting. When we are fully present, grounded in our body and in our heart, the colours around us seem to become brighter, the shapes strikingly more beautiful and our breath deepens. We become friends with the present moment and the present moment becomes friends with us.
We are no longer slaves to the mantra of our mind, which always says more, faster, better, different. This is far from giving up, apathy or settling for less. It is simply saying yes to life so life can say yes to us. When we ground in our heart and in the present moment, life doesn’t become less; we are not missing out on something. On the contrary, it’s like the gate to the greatest version of our life opens widely, naturally and effortlessly.
The secrets of the Universe seem to be often hidden in paradox. And so when we fully meet the present moment, the moment presents us with many gifts. But when we are impatient to get to the next moment, to some “better future”, the better future simply remains invisible to us and out of reach.
Being fully present is to be in the heart, to be in love. As when we are in love, we are not dismissive of anything. We know everything has its own place in the Universe. The sacred, the divine within us meets the sacred and divine within others. And so the result is not diminishment but rather enhancement, expansion and magic.
And so when we are grounded in the present moment, we allow life to reveal the true magic within all creation. And that’s the greatest possibility our modern times offer. Are you ready to fully accept this sacred offering, dearest One?
I look forward to meditating with you.
Lots of love,
Jana
