Coming Back To The Present Moment

Keep your eyes closed.

Start to observe your breath.

Feel the breath enter.

Feel the breath leave.

Feel the entire movement of the breath.

Feel the breath starting its journey from the atmosphere.

Down.

Towards the lungs.

Reaching into the body.

Then when you breathe out,

Feel the breath on its journey outwards.

Through the air passages.

Back towards the nostrils.

Mixing back with the atmosphere.

Observe the movement of the breath.

Noticing that it's the air that's in the atmosphere that's entering,

Leaving your lungs.

Follow the rhythm of the breath.

Feel the breath enter.

Feel the breath leave.

Take your awareness to the ribcage.

Feel the ribcage expand.

Contract.

And just follow the rhythm of the breath.

Let the thoughts flow away.

Seeing that they have no importance.

That they don't bring the peace,

The tranquility that the movement of the breath brings.

Thoughts just confuse.

Contradict.

Take you away from the stillness of the present moment.

As you follow the movement of the breath,

You come back to the stillness of the present moment in time.

The breath enters.

The ribcage expands.

The breath leaves.

The ribcage contracts.

You bring more and more stillness to your mind.

As you follow the rhythm of the breath.

You bring more and more stillness to your mind.

As you follow the rhythm of the breath.

You observe the air entering at the nostrils.

You bring more and more stillness to your mind.

As you follow the rhythm of the breath.

You observe the air entering at the nostrils.

Reaching down throughout the passages,

The bronchioles,

Into the lungs.

Mixing into the alveoli.

Reaching into the body.

The oxygen passing through.

And then as you breathe out the carbon dioxide entering into the breath.

Reaching up through the passages.

Back through the nostrils into the atmosphere.

Merging with the air.

Merging with the breath of the universe.

You notice how the breath of the universe is shared with every being on this planet.

Every plant.

Every tree.

You continue to breathe in.

Breathe out this breath of the universe.

The breath enters.

The breath leaves.

Stillness enters into the mind.

Stillness grows within.

Continue to connect to the breathing.

The thoughts become stiller and stiller.

As your attention moves towards the breath.

The stillness grows from deep within.

The more you follow the breath,

The more you're guided to the stillness.

Breathe in.

Breathe out.

The stillness becomes part of you.

Part of your nature.

You feel nothing but stillness within.

You connect more and more to the stillness deep down inside.

The breath guides you here.

You feel connected to the deep stillness within.

You feel your awareness guided by the breath to a point of light deep within your heart.

A point of light that generates stillness.

This point of light emanates throughout your body.

Emanates projects stillness to every part of you.

It starts shining out.

Pointing to the universe.

Pointing to the stars,

The planets.

Pointing to nature.

Pointing to the trees,

The flowers,

The blades of grass.

And it shows you stillness.

It shares stillness with the entire universe.

But it shows you more and more the true nature of nature itself.

The trees,

The flowers,

The valleys,

The mountains.

You see how peace and stillness are the original true nature of the universe.

You find yourself in your mind's eye in a forest.

And you see here how there's no concept of time.

No past.

No future.

Just this present moment.

This is all that exists.

And nature lives in harmony.

The stars,

The planets live in harmony.

No concept of past.

No concept of future.

There's an underlying awareness.

That everything happens just in a rhythm,

A cycle.

There's no doing to be done.

The Earth continues to spin around its axis,

Around the sun.

The planets continue in their orbits.

They're not going from one place to another.

They come back on themselves.

The atoms the same.

The electrons sprint around the protons and neutrons.

They're not going from one place to another.

They just spin back on themselves.

In the same way time itself is ever present.

Everything comes back on itself.

The future,

Something linear,

Is just a projection of its mind.

You can't go from one place to another.

Because the Earth itself is just revolving.

Coming back constantly to itself.

The light within your heart asks you to let go of the concept of past and future.

They're just lines that exist within your mind.

But in your heart you can see everything's coming back on itself.

Nothing's ever created or destroyed.

It simply changes forms.

The minerals within us were once inside the Earth.

And they'll return back to the Earth.

They won't be destroyed.

They'll just change forms.

They'll return to the soil.

Grow back as a flower,

As a plant.

Maybe eaten by an animal,

A human.

Enter into a new form.

But nothing's destroyed.

Everything just changes.

But everything comes back on itself.

The light within your heart tells you there's no past,

No future.

Nowhere to run to.

Nowhere to go to.

The entire universe plays this game of spinning.

Coming back to itself.

The moon doesn't move from one place to another.

It just follows its orbit.

Rotates around the Earth.

Nothing in the heavens.

Nothing in the atoms is moving from one place to another.

Then neither are you.

You're here in the present moment.

In the now.

You're not going from one place to another.

You're just coming back to yourself constantly.

The light within your heart tells you there is no past.

There is no future.

There's just the eternal,

Ever present now.

Your awareness of this stillness.

The light within your heart continues to grow.

The light continues to emanate from your heart.

To every cell,

Every molecule within you.

Bringing you peace and stillness.

Reminding you that the entire universe exists in this present moment in time.

No past.

No future.

Not the stars.

Not the trees.

Not the valleys.

Not the mountains.

Not the flowers.

Not any past.

Not any future.

They only ever know this moment in time.

The present moment is all that exists.

And the light within your heart shines brightly.

In order to remind you of this.

In order to constantly bring your awareness into the present moment.

The light within your heart expands.

Your heart expands.

As you realise this moment in time is all that you ever have.

No past.

No future.

Just one ever present now.

The light within you shines brightly.

Brightens up your heart.

Brings stillness within.

And it tells you,

You have nothing to fear.

Fear is just created by the mind.

That lives in an imaginary future.

Things may or may not happen.

But it's just the present moment that exists.

It's just the present moment that only ever exists.

Fears of the future are created by the mind.

But the mind's not you.

You're a stillness within that's connected to the entire universe.

A stillness within that knows deep down.

That it's only ever the present moment that exists.

And that can exist.

The past is gone.

It's not the now.

Any sadness that was left in the past can disappear.

It's only ever the present moment that exists.

The light within your heart shines brighter.

As you feel the awareness of the present moment in time.

No past,

No future.

The light within your heart grows brighter and brighter.

You feel yourself connecting to the stillness within.

You feel yourself knowing the stillness.

The white light within your heart.

No past,

No future.

Just everything returning back to itself.

All of life.

It's just movement in circles.

Constant return.

Like the atoms,

The planets,

The stars.

Everything moves.

But returns back on itself.

To the present.

Everything's simply an unfolding of the present moment.

No past,

No future.

Just the here,

The now.

The light within your heart shines brightly.

It's only ever the present moment that exists.

You feel the light within your heart expanding.

Throughout your body.

To every cell,

Every molecule.

Bringing you stillness and peace.

Reminding you that life happens just in this present moment in time.

No past,

No future.

Just the now.

Just this present moment.

The light within your heart glows brightly.

The now,

The present moment.

Is all there ever was.

All there ever will be.

You're in the here,

In the now.

Your body filled with light.

The light of the awareness of the present moment in time.

The light grows brighter and brighter.

Constantly.

Reminding you of the now.

And you remind yourself that anytime you need to return to this awareness.

There is no past or future.

There's only ever the now.

Just need to close your eyes.

See the light shining within your heart.

And know that this present moment is all that exists.

You feel rested here in presence.

You rub both palms together.

You generate warmth in the palms.

Take the bottoms of the palms over the eyes.

Slowly move the hands away.

Slowly opening the eyes.
