Ever since Eckhart Tolle’ s book ‘ The Power Of Now’ came out, being present has irked the self help industry. And even people who were not into self development came across this book.
Interpretation
And whether it is a teacher speaking about being present or whether they are speaking about how to make a cake, there is always going to be people’ s interpretations of what something means.
These interpretations can be accurate and match up to what is being communicated or they can be completely off-target and have crumb to do with what is being communicated. The present moment is all there is and when one is not present then they are out of touch with the only moment that matters.
So although it is clear that being present is the ideal, it is not always easy to be present. At times, it can seem impossible and shutout more than a good notion.
And as it can be so strenuous it can sequence in someone unwilling how they really feel or what they are thinking and all for they want to be present.
Repression
Being present then becomes a new name for denial and repressing how one well feels. At first, this may seem like a great conception and one that may work for a short term of time.
Just like a new toy that a child receives from their caregivers; in the presentation their attention is faint and then shortly after, it is thrown away just like the rest of the toys. The Childs short attention span is still there and is not going anywhere; no matter how many toys are accustomed.
And the same applies to emotions, feelings and thoughts. If they are denied and private up, it is unlikely to lead to one being present. They will just come back, but when they do, they may be even stronger.
Thoughts
The primary bull's eye when it comes to self development and change is often ones thoughts. And these are regularly uttered to be the biggest challenge in one being present. So when the mind settles down, one can then experience a greater sense of peace and harmony within.
So from this point of view the mind is the only thing that matters and the body is hence irrelevant. But if one were to become aware of their thoughts, they would oftentimes scope that they are annihilation more than a consequence of how they are pleasure in their body.
The Body
Feelings and emotions are in the body and based on these, the mind responds then. When these are unpleasant feelings and emotions, it is general for the mind to become obsessed and to endlessly think about certain things. And these thoughts can be positive or negative.
This is a protection mechanism that the mind uses to regulate pain and to arrange its own survival.
For if there was too much pain it could be exciting and lead to ruination.
So the minds thoughts are a way to undisturbed apparatus down and to avoid the pain that is coming up from the body.
The Present Moment
It may sound like the right thing to do to let go off ones thoughts, but these thoughts are ofttimes only appearing as a corollary of what is going on in the body. When the body is at a place of peace, the mind is likely follow suit.
And due to the pain that can build up in the body, it can cause someone to play past their body and to live in their foot. This is done now it can feel safer than living in a body that is full of pain.
A lot of hub has been placed on thoughts over the elderliness and this has resulted in the body’ s power being abandoned. And yet the body is bearings ones power really is and locale the answers are found.
Trapped Emotions
So if one lives in their extent due to what has built up in their body, there is subsequent to be a lot of trapped emotions and feelings. When the body is at peace, the mind can relax. But when the body is in pain, the mind is going to borderline up thinking extremely.
These can be emotions and feelings that have become trapped as a settlement of what has happened to someone as an adult and what took place during their virginity years.
This can accommodate the following feelings and emotions: rejection, abandonment, betrayal, grief, fear, rage, resentment, anger, helplessness, depression, disrepute, liability and fear.
And just since they are trapped in the body, it doesn’ t rapacious that they are not having an chain reaction on one’ s life. They are constantly looking to be heard in one way or spare.
Letting Go
When one is present and in the moment, they are likely to be free of fear and other restrictive emotions. But if these feelings and emotions are trapped in the body, it is going to be practically impossible to be present.
And this is why it is important to let go of what has built up in the body. When this happens, being present will not be a struggle or something that involves force. It will be something that naturally takes place and all in that there is peace in the body.
Awareness
In many ways, the mind is aptly a mirroring of what is going on in the body. So getting in touch with ones feelings and emotions and releasing them is very important.
This can be done with the assistance of a therapist or a healer that will acquiesce one to face them and release them.
