AWAKENING Step 1 - Living in The Present

---

The past is but a memory
The future is but a dream to be realized
The now is the gift; this is why it is called the Present!

The past should be left in the past or it can steel your future; but more importantly steals your present moment. Live life in the moment so tomorrow will bring what you desire; rather than what yesterday has taken away. Every day is a gift!”!

Be here now...you have to show up first before the life you desire does!
You can't really transform until you get present.

In Step 1- Living in the Present you will be facilitated to:

How to let go of the painful past
How to create the future you desire
How to be here now ...be present by meeting and trusting the moment

Allowing
Embracing
Forgiveness
Gratitude

Living in the present is the first of the 8 Steps of The Life Mastery series of life liberating guidance to effective successful change.

Each of the 8 steps will assist you in being aware of where you wish to focus your precious attention.

You are the authority in your life; despite what you have been conditioned to believe; as such you always have a choice. You can choose to be present in every moment where you pay attention to your thoughts and feelings;  so you can navigate your path in the direction of the life you desire. Or you can continue on living by unconscious default; guaranting you stay stuck in the painful past and will only deliver more of what you don't want. Existing in the past interferes with what you want now as well as paralyzes you to move into a more desirable future.

“If you become smitten with anger; it will devour you
If you allow negativity to surround you; it will destroy you
If you surround yourself with positivity; it will empower you
If you allow kindness to overshadow shallowness; goodness will embrace you!"
Be happy, strong, be confident, be brave and smile often; it suits you well!

When our negative thoughts attached to any experience we have had or are having are allowed to linger more than a short period; they esculate into intractable feelings and begin to define our actions in ways subtle and not so subtle. Eventually they shape the belief that this is who we are! No matter what the circumstance we cannot allow ourselves to become ensnared in the mental and emotional trappings of our wounded past or current uncomfortable situations that cause us to be distracted and completely forget  to be be in and grateful for the present..

If you wish to gracefully create the life you desire, it is imperative you live in the present moment. Living in the present moment, the NOW requires letting go of two things.

One is to let go of your wounded past that keeps you tethered to people, places, things and experiences you no longer, nor ever did, have any control over. The other is to let go of the future in terms of fearing the outcome. Letting go of both your past and your future will allow you to create a joyous present existence, as well as the future you desire!

"What you choose to focus on becomes your reality."

What you think is what you get. The universere will always deliver to you exactly what you are asking for. Thusly we often continue to get what we do not want because the activities within the subconscious mind will always override any conscious every day thinking. So despite whether you affirm something different; if the past incorrect thinking most often embedded in the subconscious is not discovered and shifted; you will only  expend a great deal of energy just to end up with more of the same. It also is the same if your feelings are not aligned with your thoughts. So if you are affirming a joyful successful outcome in any aspect of your life but not actually feeling how that really feels; you will not manifest your intentions.

If your now conscious or not consists of being focused on the wounds of old or fearful of the unknown future; your life undoubtedly looks and feels like a twisted ball of confusion accompanied by outbreaks of emotional charges. This is due to your inner wiring being crossed; as your thoughts are turned and pulled in two different directions, rather than being fully engaged in the now where you can be aware of what you are both consciously and unconsciously thinking and feeling.

You can straighten it all out by being present with yourself and accepting there is no way to change what has been despite how much thought and emotional energy you give it. And your future is not connected to your past experiences; yet is dependent upon what you think, feel and do in this very moment.

All of it is nothing more than a choice! It is up to you to choose to continue to live by default, where you experience being nothing more than the same unending, unchanging cycle and where your future will end up resembling your past. Or you can choose to make a difference right now by realizing you have the power to effect change in this very moment.

You have the power and ability, as well as the authority to shift your focus into the present moment.  This in turn will firmly place you in the present moment where you can use your mindfulness to let go of your fear regarding what is to come and create the successful future you desire. Being mindful opens you up to being present and empowers you to make the most of every moment.

You can choose to resist forgiveness by insisting on being right and where you get to hold onto anger, resentment, dissapointment, sadness and even rage. Or you can choose to forgive others; as well as yourself.

You can choose to begin each day excited about the new adventure about to unfold. You can be filled with gratitude for what is, rather than regret for what was or fear about what will be.

You can begin your day with thoughts that inspire and encourage you to continue to get up with enthusiasm and excitement; so you can move about in your brand new day in a healthy strong body that has nothing to do with the past or the future. Imagine being engaged in happy thoughts and joyous feelings in the moment and throughout your entire day where you continually find one thing after another to be grateful for and excited about. Imagine you are the master, the empowered authority of your life where you are a conscious co-creator having the absolute and direct influence in every experience that takes place.

This is not only possible but it is inevitable when you choose to be mentally, emotionally and physically present. When you choose the now, your creative thought process is enhanced and the possibilities of manifesting the life you desire are endless! This is gift of the moment and how to live in joy of the present!

I can’t think of a single person that can change the past, yet the future is still up in the air and can be far closer to or be what you dream of if you attend to your present in each and every moment.. When you are willing to meet the moment...to  be here now; you are choosing to take the only available control of your life so you no longer recreate the same unending, unchanging cycle over again.

Awakening and Meeting the Moment. This is the exercise to get you into and aligned with the Present thru forgiveness of self



Forgiveness of self in my opinion is more important than forgiveness of others.

Sometimes we just hold onto non forgiveness. We want those we deemed hurt us to hurt equally or more. We want revenge...we wish to see them suffer.  And if we choose to forgive others we often move more easily thru letting go of their actions and words towards us, yet at the same time  we may be quietly and unconsciously continually beating ourselves up by repressing our toxic feelings towards our self.

Not being aware of non forgiveness of self or aware of it and making every effort to ignore or divert the feelings in everyway; we can easily trap not only anger, rage, sadness, depression, but guilt and shame as well.

Guilt being the belief that we did something wrong and deserved the punishment  or shame; the belief that we are actually damaged or no good in some way and are unworthy or underserving of love, honesty, respect and more.

Not being present with loving compassion with our feelings related to any of the above; keeps the other emotions in play and continually causing some level of mental, emotional or physical pain.

Get Present....Release it NOW!

Awakening to the Moment with Gratitude

Welcome to another video from the Life Mastery Series
This is guided exercise to get you into and aligned with  Living in the Present by meeting the moment with Gratitude!

It is crafted to assist you in bringing about a different perception of what is occurring and is causing uninvited uncomfortable thoughts or emotions.

It is best to follow this first thing in the morning; yet it can be used throughout the day if or when anything arises that causes you to be in worry or anxiety or disturbed by what is taking place in your life. Especially thoughts or feelings of lack. Where you are concentrating on you don’t have enough or you want more. Not enough health, not enough money, not enough love, not enough companionship…not enough…not enough. Doesn’t matter what aspect the lack is arising in…you can shift to gratitude for what is ; which can only bring about more to be grateful for.


If you wish to return to the present moment where thoughts are just thoughts, not facts Gratitude is vital in assuring your presence in the here and now. Instead of looking back with regret or longing for what was or wasn't or worrying about or attempting to control what is to come; taking time to notice what is all about you right now and being thankful for it; will set you firmly in the moment. This will free you to continue to gracefully flow into the next moment. The more gratitude we express, the more we will experience to be grateful for.

You can choose to begin each day excited about the new adventure about to unfold. You can be filled with gratitude for what is, rather than regret for what was or fear about what will be.

You can begin your day with thoughts that inspire and encourage you to continue to get up with enthusiasm and excitement; so you can move about in your brand new day in a healthy strong body that has nothing to do with the past or the future.

Imagine being engaged in happy thoughts and joyous feelings in the moment and throughout your entire day where you continually find one thing after another to be grateful for and excited about. Imagine you are the master, the empowered authority of your life where you are connected to your inner wisdom and all that is. You are already mastered at co-creation...because you get exactly what you are focused on whether you like it or not.

Now is the time to be aware that you do not have to live by default because your thoughts and emotions are not aligned with the real you. You can shift to being awakened to gratitude; to be a conscious co-creator having the absolute and direct influence in every experience that takes place by flowing gracefully with what is.

Taking the time to do this exercise is a self loving compassionate expression towards yourself. It sends the message to your mind and body that you are grateful for life to begin with . Compassion is medicine for the mind and is a beautiful relaxing way to start your day while you are also setting the stage for a joyful adventure in each moment by beginning with your day with gratitude.

Welcome to Living in the Present Step 1 of the life mastery series…Awakening to the Moment exercise.

This is the somatic exercise to get you into and aligned with Living in the Present by meeting the moment by allowing the expression of your feel goods and not so comfortable feelings, sensations, symptoms, and pain without any judgement or resistance.

We build our state of health everyday through our thoughts, beliefs and behaviors. We wonder why we are ill or depressed or hurt; endlessly seeking some magic person, pill or therapy that will resolve it all. While ignoring the influence we have over our mental, emotional and physical bodies.

You can be the difference… especially when all the other avenues may have only worked temporarily or not at all and has left you still searching and seeking the answer.
You can stop attaching to thinking the worst. You can be aware of and change your words spoken about yourself. You can stop beating yourself up with critical judgement and start applying a little kindness to the most important person in your life…YOU!

You can reframe it all to work for you instead of constantly against you.
You can find relief and even total freedom from the mental anguish of worry or anxiety about what has been or what is to come, reactionary emotional distress and or chronic physical pain by being present with the moment.

You are not alone. I know through first hand experience the terrible, dark and terrifying thoughts and reactionary adverse and toxic feelings that accompany mental, emotional or physical pain.
