Stay present

Presence. How many times have you been to a location and yet you were absent from that environment? How many times have you been in an activity, exercising a certain function, and at the same time you didn't have your head there? How many times have you felt insecure or insecure in a scenario that offered no risk? On the contrary, how many times have you been in an unsafe place and felt completely safe? How many times have you been with someone by your side and it felt like you were alone and how many times were you alone or alone and it felt like you were complete or complete, full or full?

This whole relationship comes down to the concept of being present.

To be present is not only to be physically present, with the body there in that place, with that person, with that group of people ... To be present is to be aware of the moment in which you are living. Being present means breathing in the reality of the moment. It means living every minute without worrying too much about the minute that will still happen. Planning is important, but for planning to be effective - or as close as possible to success - it is necessary to understand the present moment, which is the starting point, after all.

Being delighted by the present moment does not exactly mean enjoying everything that is happening or everything that is close to you. To appreciate the present moment is to understand and absorb the learnings (often arising from difficulties), the benefits, achievements and challenges that that moment imposes.

Being present, for example, means listening carefully to what the other person has to say to you, and not pretending to be listening or paying attention. It is really trying to listen carefully.

To be present is also to identify what pleases and dislikes in a particular place, in a certain environment, including the family, love relationships, labor relations, in short. In all moments of life, there is an invitation to watch carefully, to awaken consciousness. In fact, consciousness awakens as knowledge becomes present.

To be present is to know the reason for the choices you make, sincerely, and to accept that. Admitting that you bought a particular object out of emotional impulse, and not out of actual need, is not a demerit. It is a recognition of your own attitudes. To be present is to know how to identify in yourself or in yourself the resonances of all the stimuli that are around you.

It is possible to be present, to be aware of the present moment, even in solitude, when listening to the voice of your thoughts, your anguish, the joys, of what gives you pleasure. Being present can and should become a habit. This is one of the main invitations that Tantra gives you with each breath, each mantra, each massage session, each meditation. Long live your gift!
