We hear the concept of "Being Present" talked about a lot. It can often have a "new-agey", non-substantive quality to it. What does being present MEAN anyway?!
When I got the above concept, it was huge for me! It is SIMPLY having full attention, awareness and participation in a situation, but even greater, in everything I do in my life, every moment. It is taking in every experience, every sensation in my body, every knowing within myself and my soul...simply being with and completely IN everything in my life.
So many times, so many of us are not present in any situation, much less everything in our life. It is sometimes easier to remain closed up in a little ball...it is sometimes easier not to be vulnerable with others and completely care and connect with who they really are and to simply stay behind one's veil. It is easier to not listen to your body's knowing, heeding it's aches and pains or to fully experience and feel what is being shared by it through sensations. It is easier until it is not...continuing to live this way cheats you and it certainly cheats those in your life and in situations with you...
Love your Body. It has many, many gifts and messages for you. It in and of itself is a gift. Take care of it. Cherish it as sacred and special. Honor and listen to it, it is the only one you will get and it is a gift to live in this earthsuit.
Love YourSelf. You are unique and amazing and the only YOU there will ever be. Celebrate it, don't move to shrink or hide or fade or fix it, b present and fully, absolutely, totally YOU.
Love your Life. Live in full attention, awareness and participate in everything you have created and been handed. Why not?! Why hold back?! Why BE anything except completely, fully, lively IN your life?!
