Beneficial Awareness

Be with what arises, no pulling or pushing, just awareness of what’s happening. It’s in this space that you’ll be beneficially aware because this is the only place of true existence…

When a practice that allows awareness is in place the present moment is experienced. Being aware of what’s actually happening as opposed to being pulled around by it or pushing it away is what will dictate how beneficial life is. Life is magical in its essence, but there’s nothing magical in becoming aware of this. All roads that lead to a beneficial life begin and end in the present moment and awareness is the key. 

Take a breath and be aware of it, now take another and be aware, this is an anchor to the present. You can only be aware of what you’re thinking about in the past or future, but you can never actually be there. Every breath can only be taken as it is happening. The more one becomes aware of this, the more anchored you’ll become in actually being in the present moment as opposed to grasping for 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 awareness of what’s happening. It is in the space of awareness that you’ll be beneficially aware because this is the only place of true existence…
