Go with the Flow
To feel fully alive to our experiences, it is necessary to be aware of the present moment. True happiness is born in this moment.
If you experience separation from this moment, this is the time to practice "being here and now" affirmations - examples provided in a moment. This will reconnect you with your inner power, your true state of happiness. Affirming the statements like the following will empower you to be in a place of more happiness, peace of mind, and be able to acquire a still, tranquil mind.
Practice these affirmations for reconnecting with your inner awareness of being here, now! and experience positive states:
- I am at peace in this moment…
- I am fully aware of being here now, in this moment…
- I savor this moment as the unique experience that it is…
- If my awareness wonders, I bring it back to the present moment…
- I am at peace in this moment…
- I am now fully present in this moment.
These may not seem like the most exciting of affirmations. But practice these for just five minutes, and then become aware of how you are feeling.
The power of the "being here and now" experience was bought home to me some years ago when a friend was describing experiences he had while rock climbing. He described the tranquil feeling he had, and told me that it felt like he had almost stopped thinking. And how he had some of the most beautiful experiences he can remember.
It was during one of these conversations that I realized he was practicing "being here and now." I mean rock climbing is hardly a good place to be thinking about what you will be doing tomorrow, or wondering if what you did last week was really such a good idea.
This would also explain why my mother would knit more sweaters than the entire family could ever possibly use. She, like my rock climbing friend, found a way to be present in the here and now.
And I can recall how, as a young boy, I would sit for hours watching the float on my fishing line bobbing up and down… it just felt nice.
Can you recall times such as these? Remember how you felt?
You might like to schedule time to enhance your life with more of these "here and now" experiences.
If you are not experiencing happiness right now, you are probably contemplating the future, or replaying the past. Practice a few of the "being here and now" affirmations for positive results.
