Let's first explain the concept of presence. Being present to me is being grounded and rooted in the present moment. You are out of your head, and literally in your “body”. You are rooted enough in who you are and your higher source, that you can let go of the thoughts in your head and completely immerse yourself in this moment. You let go and allow.
When you learn to trust in your higher power, you intuitively understand that you don’t have to control everything, you can let go and allow yourself to “deepen” into the present moment. You can truly love just being there and doing whatever you are doing. You can learn to love that state of calmness and peace.
In order to love being present, you have to learn to let go of thinking and thoughts.You have to learn to trust in what is happening. Whatever your higher source, whatever essence you pray to, you have to learn to trust. All religions and beliefs have that basic foundation of trust. They have the foundation that it is taken care of for you.
You have been in the mindset that you must act in order for something to happen. Okay, if you are acting then act. But thinking is not acting. If you are letting your mind just wander constantly and constantly, this is not doing. This is thinking; whether it is conscious or from the subconscious.
When you are present, you let go of the stream of thoughts and you just do what you are doing. That is what I am doing now as I am writing this article for you. Letting go of the thoughts of "will they understand my concept, will they get it, how will I make my point" and so forth. I am typing away and letting go; trusting that the message has been received. That is the process of letting go. Regardless of whether or not I have experienced something similar in the past, I can recreate myself in this moment to be whatever I choose to be now. I am this moment and not the past. Recreate or redefine yourself at any moment.
If you are wondering whether you should make the extra effort because your family and friends seem to be doing okay in their current state; then, you have a choice. You can either subscribe to the "normal ways" of dealing with situations or you can develop a level of trust and learn to love being in the present moment. Learn to love handing it over to your higher source. In that way, when you hand it over to your higher source, you CAN be present. You can just allow yourself to “sink” into the moment. No worries, no fears.
Learning to love presence will allow you to experience this world in more than just the 5 senses too. See that is what happens when you center/ground yourself in the present moment. When you learn to be in the present moment, the world takes on a whole new perspective. The crispness of your thoughts, the clarity in which you understand concepts, the release of worries. It is a very refreshing moment. It feels wonderful. You let go and you allow a new way of being to come into your reality. You let go and allow. Try it.
Now learning to be present is just that, learning. There are many ways to learn the process and I feel meditation, whichever form you choose, is the key to learning presence. I practice and teach qigong and mindfulness and they have helped me tremendously in grounding myself. When I ground myself, I can feel my higher source connection because I am “out of my mind” and “out of my thoughts”. The more I feel that connection, the more I learn to trust. The more I learn to trust, the more opportunities in the day I have to be present and not feel I have to worry about what is going to happen or what has happened in the past.
