How to Tap Into the Magic of Now
"Life is now. It's all right now. Everything is now."
- Abraham-Hicks
A vibrational shift is happening on our planet these days. Movies
such as The Secret, What the Bleep and You Can
Heal Your Life are becoming mainstream. Millions of people across
the globe are tuning in to Oprah's webcast with Eckhart Tolle as
well as her Soul Series; and hundreds of millions throughout the
world are meditating on a daily basis. Whether this consciousness-raising
can be attributed to the dawning of the Age of Aquarius, the approach
of the "Shift of the Ages" in 2012, or just a good idea
whose time has come, we are experiencing a profound transformation
in our collective consciousness. One of the best ways to align with
the flow of this positive Energy stream is by being present and
tapping into the Magic of Now.
How about you? Do you live in the present moment or is your monkey
mind in charge, constantly running between memories of the past
and thoughts of the future? Focusing on the past or future is not
bad per se. In fact, you can use blissful memories as well as positive
expectations to raise your vibration. The problem comes when you
dwell exclusively in the past or the future and miss the only moment
you ever have - Now.
When you become conscious of the present moment, you become aware
of Who You Truly Are and you reconnect with your natural state of
Well-Being. You feel intensely alive, peaceful, joyful, uplifted,
and vibrant. You enjoy a deeper sense of meaning and purpose, a
higher level of awareness and clarity. Free from mental chatter,
you experience an inner stillness, a serene oneness with Source.
Living in the Magic of Now is a skill you can easily develop by
consciously choosing to focus in the present moment. Here are some
ways to become more present as you go about your daily life:
• Breathe! Become aware of your breathing and feel
the aliveness within your body. Pause throughout the day and take
several long, slow, deep breaths. After a few moments of conscious
breathing, you're calmed, centered in the Now, and energized with
a fresh infusion of Life Force Energy.
• Accept what-is. As you relax, allow, and accept each
moment without judgment or resistance, you find joy, appreciation,
and wisdom arising spontaneously. Acceptance of the present moment,
no matter what you're facing, allows for a mindful response rather
than a knee-jerk reaction.
• Give routine activities your full attention. Consciously
practice being in the present moment when engaged in daily activities
such as brushing your teeth, drinking a glass of water, or standing
in line. Replace multi-tasking with complete attention to the current
activity.
• Experience nature. When you have the opportunity
to be in nature, allow yourself to be fully immersed in the moment.
As you gaze upon a tree, a flower, the sky; as you listen to rain
drops falling, birds chirping, leaves rustling, you'll feel the
sacred oneness, the peace, the interconnectedness of all life.
• Be aware of your thoughts. Listen, as an observer,
to the voice in your head, knowing you are not your thoughts. Become
aware of a deeper, vaster dimension inside, which Eckhart Tolle
calls stillness.
"Yesterday is history, tomorrow is mystery, and today is
a gift. That's why they call it the present." - Eleanor
Roosevelt
So how do you feel right now? If you feel joy, ease and lightness,
you're present. Presence always feels good. In fact, it's not possible
to be present and unhappy at the same time. There's no suffering
in the Now. To tap into the Magic of Now is to live your entire
life as a spiritual practice. To tap into the Magic of Now is to
feel an extraordinary aliveness, the pure joy of Being. To tap into
the Magic of Now is to greet each moment as a still, alert presence
and experience the beauty, the wonder, the sacredness of all life.
