Now is the moment of power
Where are your thoughts ?
Who are you in this present moment?
When you look upon the experiences of the past can you see the lessons learned?
Are you able to become aware of the gifts that each experience has given you and let everything else go?
This is such an important principle to really come into awareness with
Now Is The Moment Of Power.
This principle asks are you living in the present moment, or the Karma of the past?
Is there a part of who you are holding you back with those thoughts of , if only you had done this instead, everything would be different?
Leaving you wanting to relive moments of the past that didn’t go as we had hoped.
What is it that keeps you from the present moment?
This is an interesting question to explore, it begins to awaken the awareness to the repeating stories that we tell ourselves.Those limiting stories that can keep us stuck.
Every moment within our lives is a new moment ready to be lived fully from that awakened state of awareness.
That beautiful energetic place of Newness.
Now is the moment of power
All that I am can be in this moment now .
It is in the present moment that we can see the beauty around us, it is where we can be fully in our hearts, in the abundant energy of gratitude.
These principles are so powerful each one brings us to this moment, into our awareness. It gives us the opportunity to look at the thoughts the feelings the emotions that have been driving us, and when we truly begin to become that welcoming container for all that we are, to hold space for every emotion, every thought, every feeling, standing in the power of now the power of pure awareness taking a deep b r e a t h... sinking into the moment of now, that moment of pure presence, we can meet anything that comes our way . We can meet this unpredictable, messy, world, with the confidence, and strength, to navigate our way through. We can let go of the conditions of things having to be a certain way, trusting ourselves and our experiences. And it is in this place of POWER that keeps us active, and present, no matter what life brings your way.
We have the power to direct our attention to what it is we are seeing. We can begin to forage the lessons learned from each experience and leave the rest to compost back into the richness of life, forever nourishing the fertility for the next moment ahead. What we choose to plant there is up to us. It is our gift to be able the take this precious moment of Now and ask it to Be, to be a part of the Journey into the truth of our absolute knowing.
This principle has helped me in clearing my own thoughts, it brings me back into the present moment and in that moment where I can checkin and ask, who am I, who am I right now in this moment, where are my feet, where is my breath. When my mind has been drifting and I am feeling a little out of sorts, I know that I’m ruminating somewhere, somewhere in the past or the perceived future, there might be something there that I am afraid to let go of. Clinging to the known afraid of the unknown.
And I know in that moment, I can take a breath, and re-adjust my focus, ask myself what is it that I am moving towards , bring myself back to the positive self talk, and right actions, propelling me towards my goals, and guiding me along this journey .
I think to a story I had read about circus elephants.
When elephants are quite young they are taken from their mothers by Mahouts (elephant trainers), and they are strapped with metal cuffs on their legs, and one of the metal cuffs is then attached to a chain, and the chain is attached to a wood peg that is hammered into the ground. As a baby, when the elephant tries to pull away from this chain, and wooden peg, they are yanked back, they are not able to free themselves, and over time they begin to learn, that they are not able free themselves from this chain and wooden peg in the ground. Finally feeling defeated they stop trying to get away. And as the Elephant continues to grow, and grow, getting larger and stronger, and larger and stronger, their trainers continue to use the same peg, the same chain they used on the Elephants when they were babies.
And now this adult elephant known as the most powerful land animal in the world , an animal that could uproot a fully grown tree out of the ground, remains defeated by a small wooden peg and a flimsy chain.. He no longer even tries to get away.
This elephant at a very young age learned it couldn’t free itself, and once that learning was there he never tried again.
This is a powerful story that really gets us to question, where in our lives have we stopped ourselves from trying because of a failed attempt in the past.
“The compensation of growing old [is] that the passions remain as strong as ever, but one has gained — at last! — the power which adds the supreme flavour to existence, — the power of taking hold of experience, of turning it around, slowly, in the light.”
Virginia Wolf
This is a beautiful moment of insight, Virginia Wolf brought forward through some the moments of challenge in her own life.
What challenge could you begin to meet differently today?
Now is the moment of power
What was is not what is.
This principle really gets us to look at these stories, and beliefs that hold us in and old version of who we used to be not who we are today.
How often do past experiences holds us from new experiences ?
Coming into the moment of now, connecting to who we are today is the most powerful place we can Be, in this place any thing is possible!
