Love Yourself

The present time, that unique instant when everything happens, contains a real treasure of plenitude, Joy and Peace we have only experienced in exceptional circumstances.

The permanent stream of our thoughts, that ceaseless inner dialogue always keeping our attention takes us away from the unique (and wonderful!) real experience: to fully live the present time.

Being aware of every feeling of our body, our senses, interrupts (even if briefly) that inner dialogue of the corrosive activity of the ego.

Any action can be performed with our attention focused in the body, in our movements, the respiration and the all the information sent by our senses which we usually ignore as unimportant or irrelevant…

When we walk we can concentrate in doing our movements in a “deliberate manner”, maybe in a slower way where nothing is “automatic”, aware of how we breathe and every feeling and impression coming from our senses. The vision gives us lots of information.

This instant, the present time, is the only one really existing. The past and the future are abstract concepts that cannot be experienced.

At all practical effects there is only one important place in the whole Universe and an only instant of interest in the whole Eternity: The Now and Here…
