Are you present in the moment - this moment?
If any of you have been following the Eckhart Tolle book and live teleclass with Oprah you know now how important learning to be aware and live in the moment is. Have you tried or are you always thinking about the next moment or the one that just passed by? And have you asked yourself why you can't "be" in the moment?
I for one have been practicing this being present and in the moment concept since last summer and I can tell you when I am really, really present it is the most amazing place I can be. I love the feeling of looking someone in the eye and actually hearing what they are saying, or sitting on my patio and hearing the birds sing and the sound of the wind as it blows through the trees.
The other experiment in being in the moment is turning off the radio while I'm driving. If you listen to the hum of the tires, the squeeks of whatever is going on under the hood and well just the sounds of the road and other traffic presents you with a totally different view of the world traveling by you.
If you are present in this moment than all you are doing is reading this blog post and perhaps pondering what your present moment feels like. I want to tell you it is a very cool place to be! - JoAnne
