“Realize deeply that the present moment is all you have. Make the NOW the primary focus of your life.” — Eckhart Tolle Pause for a minute and breathe with me. 😌 All my life I have primarily dwelt in the past or the future. Mostly in the future which has been the cause of my major anxiety. “What if this? What if that? What if something bad happens? What if I embarrass myself? What if I can’t figure out how to do something? Etc” “The psychological condition of fear is divorced from any concrete and true immediate danger…This kind of psychological fear is always of something that might happen, not of something that is happening now. You are in the here and now, while your mind is in the future. This creates an anxiety gap…You can always cope with the present moment, but you cannot cope with something that is only a mind projection—you cannot cope with the future.” Thanks to Tolle I have realized that I am not my mind. I can watch my thoughts instead of being my thoughts. I have made presence/awareness/Being/whatever you want to call it a daily practice. I could go on and on, but I’ll leave with you two things: One: a recommendation. If any of this speaks to you check out Eckhart Tolle’s work. I especially recommend the small workbook: Practicing The Power of Now. Two: would you have any interest in me reading parts of it to you? Either in audio message format (you could listen to my soft voice as you drift off to sleep). Or in the style of this video (naked reading). I know most of you are here for the spice, but I hope you appreciate the love I pour into this space we share together ♥️

Moving my body to music as the sun goes down. ☀️ “It doesn't matter what it looks like; it matters what it feels like” as Bryan Kest says. ( @naomiwildman3 recommended his power yoga class to me, and I’ve been practicing it fairly consistently the last month or so). As I danced I did feel really good because I was present. There were no thoughts in my mind. Thus my state of being was peaceful and joyous. 😌 I hope you can find some peace today. If you don’t feel like dancing, just observe the breath flowing in and out of your body. You cannot think and observe the breath at the same time. All it takes is one conscious breath to break the stream of your thoughts and bring you to conscious presence and awareness. Peace my friends ✌️

In recent months I asked you if you would like me to read some of Eckhart Tolle’s work to you through video or audio form. The majority of votes were for video form. So here is my first go at it! If you enjoyed this genre of content, or if it helped point you towards inner peace, please let me know! I would love to hear your feedback. I have been on my own spiritual journey for several months now. I will admit that I have fallen back into resistance at times. And I have certainly become attached to outcome and results again. But I am continuing to bring awareness as I observe this in myself. I’ve found that just pausing for a few moments during work to listen to the birds sing and take a few conscious breaths helps so much. “Be at least as interested in what goes on inside you as what happens outside. If you get the inside right, the outside will fall into place.”—Eckhart Tolle Peace my friends💜

Lately, I’ve been thinking about how important it is to real..
