How will you engage this moment? Will you flip the switch into autopilot? Or will you accept the invitation to step fully into the here-now?
Within every moment, we have an opportunity. We can continue to reinforce the habitual, the tried and true, the known. And in doing so, we will continue to arrive at the same outcome of all the past moments.
Or we can accept the invitation to step fully into this moment. To completely inhabit body. What might we discover in this exploration of the here-now? Who knows? And this is exactly the point. For it is in this moment that Life is unfolding. It is only in this moment that the answers dwell. It is only in this moment that we experience all that Life offers.
Leaving the familiarity of auto-pilot can be scary. Even though auto-pilot leaves us at the whim of our thoughts, at least the territory is known. At least the demons that dwell there carry no surprises as we have done battle time and time again. But what would it be like to drop the sword, expose those demons for the illusionary wisps of thought that they are? What would it be like to shift our energy not to the known battle but back into this unfolding moment. We just may discover that those demons cannot dwell in the fresh light of day. They run and scatter as we empower them no more. We just may find a Bigger Me that has no need for those battles of old. A Bigger Me that breaths in the cool clear air of here and breaths out into the expansiveness of now. A Bigger Me, free from shackles, free to run and play!
“Beyond our ideas of right-doing and wrong-doing,
there is a field. I’ll meet you there.
When the soul lies down in that grass,
the world is too full to talk about.
Ideas, language, even the phrase ‘each other’
doesn’t make sense anymore.”
~ Rumi
