Hello everyone,
Someone emailed me recently after ordering "Undisturbed: A Guide To Emotional Wellness" and "Get Out Of The Cage: A Guide To Inner Freedom".
The books were still being dispatched, but she expressed that she was working on being present and having less resistance, and that sometimes she was struggling.
The advice I offered might help some of you reading this, so I thought I would share it:
"If I can offer any other advice that might help: sometimes in some people's minds, ‘being present’ can start to turn into hard work, or is perceived as a necessity to reach some kind of goal. At the end of the day it is all about feeling more at ease and aligned with your power, so go easy on yourself with it all.
I've also noticed that alignment or presence can lead to a more creative and positive imagination. If this happens, embrace that too. Sometimes people think they should always have no thoughts, and they get stuck in resistance again.
Also feel free to ignore what I've said if it doesn't resonate with you."
Sometimes people can be holding up a measuring stick to assess "how present" they are being in the moment. But why? What is the point of being present anyway? Generally it is so that someone feels more at ease, or more aligned with their true mind, which is empowered rather than negative.
A question you can ask yourself is: "why am I trying to be present?" The answer might be "to feel free or at peace or at ease". So, how would it feel if you were now free already? How would freedom feel? Sometimes this question can speed up your experience of freedom, if that is what you are seeking. Give the question some space. You don't have to jump in with an answer. Let it answer itself.
I hope that can help. Feel free to let me know if it does or doesn't by commenting below
All the very best,
Adam
