In the NOW
Posted: Mon May 23, 2011 1:20 pm
Hi - This is my 1st visit. All weekend I had the "blues" from an overload of sugar which poisons my system and my mind. I ought to know better by now, but at work there are almost always sweet temptations. And I caved in big time.
But what I wanted to say is that I awoke this morning with a more peaceful feeling in my gut and was ready to - once again - live in the moment. This is not easy for me to do - always drift off to a memory and always get caught up in that long-ago moment, and have to remind myself, This moment! is the only one that counts. This is an underlying principle of spirituality and I first learned of it through Paul Twitchell who founded the present-day religion called ECKANKAR. Eckart Tolle also has books published on the practice of being in the NOW. We have to trust that whatever happened before will be taken care of properly and we have to trust that our futures are bright, because when we are fully present NOW, we use all of our resources to be the best we can be. Of course, we have to see the big picture, but to get from A to B, we need all we are made of, present and focused on our goal.
Just wanted to get all that out!
Peace
