Are you living in the present moment?

Jeanette M. Pintar

We always hear people talking about living in the present moment. But what does that really mean?



Obviously we’re all here right now in this moment. But are we fully here? Or are our thoughts drifting to what the boss said, when we have to meet our friend or pick up the kids, the chores that need to be done, and how lousy the day was?

Life is a beautiful and precious thing. Each of us was created in love to give love and receive love.

Yet we often feel very alone and un-loved. Perhaps this is because we block out the love which is meant

to flow through us with our distracting thoughts. Because we’re so focused on everything else we don’t allow

ourselves to see and experience the love directed toward us. If we can allow ourselves to focus on those we’re connecting

with and bring an attitude of openness and love to the experience,

we become present in the moment.

We heighten our awareness of the positive energy, love and sense

of connection we have with those we care for.

Perhaps that’s really what being present in the moment is about?
