Cultivating Present Moment Awareness

The act of being "present moment aware" has many healing benefits. It releases stress over things that have happened in the past. It prevents worry for the future. It makes you engage in others and your environment more intensely which fosters better relationships and gratitude. All of these are good for body, mind and to connect with Spirit. To foster this skill, practice the following:

· Notice when you are not paying attention. Bring yourself back.
· Listen to yourself speak…what are you really saying?
· Notice how you react in any given situation.
· Take a big picture approach…don’t get stuck in details.
· Follow your energy. Where do you naturally want to focus.
· Notice your ego...Ask yourself “what am I getting out of this?”
· Immerse yourself in spirituality…books, movies, cds, yoga & meditation.


Namaste!
