The power of presence, the power of NOW - One Of the true keys to happiness.

I have touched ground on this subject of matter before, the importance of being present in the now.

Sometimes we dwell either over things we cannot control in the future “Will i make that promotion? Am i gonna be ready for this? or Will i ever find the love of my life.

And sometimes we dwell over things that happened in the past. “Why did that happen to him/her or me?” “Why did it have to be that way?"

These are events from the past

I have found out that stopping up and answer those little voices, which is basically our ego that asks questions.

And i try my very best to be present i the now and answer those very questions.

“Yes i am making that promotion, with a good raise”

“Yes i am ready for this, i want to Level Up!"

“The love of my life will find me when i least expect her”

I cannot provide the grand answer of things, i hold merely but a perspective which i find soothing to calm my mind and get on with my day and do my very best

I do not hold the past nor the future to closely attached to my experience, because if we are to believe Buddah then life is but a dream anyway.

It holds no meaning to try and control something you are not able to, not the way we might think at least.

I practice a phenomenon which is known as the non attachment approach.

This approach is very popular In many traditional meditations. And it basically means to not hold to strong attachment to anything, not even this experience itself, not your sense of “i” your ego, no strong attachment to anything at all, it is temporary as we know it.

It is a powerful tool to not let your emotions get the best of you in times where wisdom is what is most required.

I have mentioned it before but it is paramount to understand we can only choose how we react with other reactions, and that is it.

It is all a gigantic chain reaction, our entire Universe, a brilliant and complex algorithm that has formed into this lottery experience called Life.

In infinite many ways this makes you the captain of your ship, and you set the course.

The sea has many heavy waters to pass, but for every storm the ship passes, the hull seems somewhat stronger.

It is when we overcome these heavy waters or obstacles we truly Level Up.

And to overcome these rivers in the road or whatever, we would be better off if we focused on what lies ahead of us right now, that is the only part of the equation that we can fit into, as far as i can tell anyhow.. i am by no means a mathematician or a quantum physician,

The past and the future serves no fruitful purpose if the NOW is disturbed and unbalanced.So how do we change our perception to be here and now?

A good place to start is to identify your breath and feel your chest and belly rise and expand.

I want you to close you eyes and focus away from your phone or computer, this is an excellent ritual to "log off" every now and then.

Take a big deep breath and fill your lungs inhaling trough your nose for 4 seconds 3...2….1… Hold for 7….6…..5…..4….3…..2…….1.. Breathe out with your belly slowly but with force for 8…..7…..6….5….4…..3…..2….1…

Inhale trough your nose and repeat this process a couple of times. Take a minute to feel how your heart beats, slower huh? I hope so.. it works 99/100 times for me.

But take another minute to feel your body, scan it slowly from the scalp and down.. notice any release, or tension.. or pain or discomfort.. Feel it.

Congratulations you are in the Now, you feel yourself in the now.. the worries from yesterday or tomorrow are no longer existent, because you are here now, working on it.. free from stress..free from guilt.

This is now your secret weapon against things that trouble you.. take a deep breath, focus your energy on the breath and movement of your chest and belly, feel your body.. do not think.

Because we cannot change our past, it does not define us now.

?And we cannot change the future with our worries, it will come as it always has, and always will.

But you are hopefully stronger and more motivated now after reading this, i truly hope so.

I genuinely want for everyone who took their dear energy and spent it on reading my words.

Thank you for your presence, now here with me.

You have leveled up! Click the logo to sign up for the Next Level!

Sincerely

Ken Wessel.
