We humans tend to be really stuck in our lives, as much as we want to improve them. There’s a lot we don’t know about how things work and a lot we assume that’s inaccurate.

If you truly desire to change your life experience the first thing to realize is there is only THIS NOW-MOMENT.

We humans are shallow breathers. We don’t breathe in much air (oxygen). Instead, as a rule, when we breathe we take in air by lifting our shoulders (watch yourself!) That’s how you know you’re focused in your mind again and not present.

The mind is good with past and future. The past is only a memory we’ve stored there. The future is only a projection of our imagination. They don’t exist.

So, when you’re spending time recalling and reliving your past, you’ve disconnected yourself from right now and your power to take charge and improve things in your life now. Likewise with the future (unless you’re visualizing and feeling what you desire to have happen!).

So, starting right now, learn to bring yourself back into the present moment.

How? Breathe deeply as you relax your jaw, your neck and shoulders and, very importantly, your stomach muscles…

Now take a few slow, deep breaths and notice how much more air you’re taking in! Also…

Notice as you breathe how much more alive you feel! Notice how your energy picks up. That’s because this moment we call “now”—right now—is when everything everywhere is happening. Now is when you live, sense, when you dream and feel.

That’s your first lesson—Do this slow, deep breathing multiple times every day from now on. Enjoy it! Really let yourself feel how good it feels and how your whole body relaxes. Also, keep increasing how often you do it until it becomes automatic and replaces the shallow, shoulders-raising breathing you’ve probably done your whole life.

How’s it going? How are you feeling about this new experience? Are you doing more slow, deep breathing? Have you noticed it becoming more of a habit?

Our minds like to tell us we should achieve more, accomplish more. So we naturally find ourselves trying to add to our list of tools, even here on this ‘spiritual’ path. When we pay attention to the mind and believe what it says, that’s the mental framework we fall into.

That’s also the mental framework we’ve spent our entire lives in…and where has it gotten you? Are you where you want to be? Are you truly happy, self-assured, xxxxxxxxxxxxx

SURELY IT MUST TAKE EFFORT, EVEN HARD WORK, NOT TO MENTION LUCK…WHICH SEEMS TO BE IN SHORT SUPPLY…

…when we rise above the dense energies that we’re drowning in here on Earth.

The first step with anything is always to accept whatever is going on.
