“Every place is here and every moment is now.”

Buddha.

I’ve always considered myself a lonely woman, I like to respect my own spaces and be far away from crowded places; even my parents remind me as child that was always immersed in her world; I guess that when we allow ourselves to be alone, we can discover the huge potential our mind has through our imagination and I’m sure that by joining with ourselves, we can recognize our fears, insecurities, hobbies and in that way, resonate more easily with the things that generate peace in us. 

In my moments of contemplation, I’ve discovered a lot of things about myself; among them, that one of my favorite sounds in the world is silence; when I recognize this about me, this mute vibration allowed me to reconcile with my lonely inner child whom I judged a lot for being too reserved and quiet; I’m certain that silence is the best tool human beings have to observe the stories the mind tells us and in that way, consciously return to our present. 

I’m a defender of love, ‘cause I believe that love is the most powerful and important state we can have as individuals and of course, as humanity; but unfortunately love has been and is still being used as an instrument of sacrifice, attachment, possession, jealousy and greed because we have given it the function of a manipulative weapon instead of a recurring solution that allows us to act and think from that state. 

Have in mind that before you were born, your parents were excited for your gestation and they carried in their minds the illusion of your arrival; possibly they were afraid of having you because in their thoughts there was confusion of how the process of the parenting could be or maybe, since you were in your mother’s belly, she didn’t want to have you because she thought that being a single mother would be impossible and although she managed to be a mom, your gestational programming wasn’t related to be in the present moment; ergo, you feel unworthy of existing; this means that since we were in the womb, we’ve been biologically programmed so that our present couldn’t have enough power so we could live emotionally stable. 

What does it mean to live in the present? Live in the present moment, means observing life as it is happening without letting our judicious mind get in the middle ‘cause when we allow ourselves to connect with observation we realize that life’s a journey in which we are the captains and it’s only in the present moment where we can see in detail what’s happening; nonetheless, what prevents us from connecting with the here and now is the consciousness of separation that programmed us to believe that everything that is existing outside of us is the solution to the problems our mind has created for us; the same way we believe that outside of us are the solutions of our emotional, physical and existential conflicts. 

One of the most used techniques to connect with the present is called “mindfulness” or “full consciousness”; maybe you’re familiarized with meditation or with techniques to create healthy lifestyles or possibly for you, talking about “spiritual matters” doesn’t have any sense ‘cause you believe that’s practically impossible to live in the present because your mind dominates you through the tasks you need to accomplish; nonetheless, if we see it objectively, being in the present moment is healthier than rummage in the past or wander in the illusion of the future ‘cause  in both timeless states, you don’t exist.

Remember that we are in a world that take us away from the truth so we can be induced into an alternative reality; this conditions us to live in the tomorrow so we can constantly consume it; and these beliefs, make you feel incomplete and that’s why you insist on looking for your other half; you spend more time worrying than doing; you give more time to be stressed instead of being happy; you condition yourself through anxiety and you medicate with pills instead of giving yourself peace; you are at the service of your mind, while it tells you the worst stories full of tragedy; and you, willingly believe in it, to the point of materilizing its dramatic novel; but the reality of everything is that you don’t allow yourself to feel complete because you believe that you need the outside to identify yourself and feel entire, when the truth is that you already are a complete being and resonate with that full consciousness makes you recognize that the place you’re standing in, is the moment where you need to be right now, but you don’t put attention to it ‘cause you’re more aware in what you don’t have instead of thanking what you do have. 

Use mindfulness in your relationships, in your daily life, in your work and in your environment and become the observer of your beliefs, loyalties and patterns; stop conditioning love and live it presently and consciously, remember that yesterday’s love represents being tied up to a memory that doesn’t exist anymore; in the same way, to love someone with a future promise, is the product of your imagination which becomes an unreachable illusion; give yourself the opportunity of comming back to yourself when you feel lost in your anguishes, worries and pains ‘cause the power you have to manifest changes you can only experience it when you feel full and absolute; so commit with yourself to love, laugh, dance, sing and feel today, ‘cause tomorrow everything changes, everything happens and everything transforms ‘cause first and foremost, you’re a mortal. 

Accept your reality without putting ornaments to it or cursing it ‘cause it’s not the way you think it should be; your reality is the teacher that allows you to make consciousness of your vibration and gives you the possibility of looking inside yourself  with sincerity; listen to your thoughts but don’t attend them because talking with your mind means you’re falling into your own mental trap; sit and eat without stress and use your five senses to enjoy what you’re eating; if you’re in a relationship live it without any expectations and let yourself be carried away by the learnings it has to teach you in the time that’s destinated to be; remember that the present moment is the most important, ‘cause it has the potential to make us value life and make us recognize how fragile and short it is, so don’t judge what you’re living just flow with those experiences and return to your internal balance because at the end of the journey what will really matter is how much you learned and how fully you lived. 

You’re complete, Shary ChavLó ∞
