Present Moment Awareness

Please find a comfortable place to sit with your back straight,

Relax yet alert,

Like tree reaching for the sun.

And simply rest in a state of presence to this moment,

Exactly as it is,

Without trying to change anything.

Just accept this moment as it is.

If thoughts try to take you on adventures to other times and places,

Let your mind be like a blue sky and let the thoughts drift by like clouds.

There is nothing to fix,

No problems to solve,

Nothing that needs to be done right now.

Just rest in this moment.

When your mind wanders,

Simply notice it.

And rest in the blue sky of your mind and let your thoughts passing by like the clouds.

And bring retention back to your breathing and be present at this moment.

Nothing to do,

Nowhere to go,

Just rest in this moment.

Imagine your mind is like a blue clear sky.

And your thoughts,

Emotions and feelings are like the clouds in the sky of your mind.

Simply notice them,

Acknowledge them and let them pass without judging or clinging to them.

Simply rest in a state of presence to this moment.

And rest in this moment.

And on your next breath,

Gently come back to center.

Notice your body sitting.

Notice your whole body breathing,

Nice and easy breath.

And whenever you are ready,

Gently open your eyes and finish this awareness practice and go on with your daily activities.

Thank you.
