The path that leads to a peaceful life begins and ends in the awareness of Now. You can be aware you're thinking about something in the past or future, but you can never actually be there…
When there’s awareness in place it allows Now to be experienced. Being aware of what's actually happening as opposed to being pulled around by it or pushing it away is what will dictate the amount of peace there is in your life. Life is magical in its essence, but there's nothing magical in becoming aware of this. All paths that lead to a peaceful life begin and end in the Now and a practice to allow awareness will assist in this.
Take a step and be aware of it, now take another and be aware, this awareness is also an anchor as is the breath to Now; you can not actually be aware of something in the past or future. You can be aware that you're thinking about something in the past or future, but you can never actually be there. Every step or breath can only be taken as it is happening. The more you become aware of this the more anchored you become in the actuality of the body being in the Now as opposed to grasping for straws in the story of what's going on between your ears. Be aware of reading this and then be aware of what arises, just be with it, no pulling or pushing, just be aware of what's happening. It’s in this space of awareness that you’ll find peace and this is because in this space it's the only thing that's there…
