And when I tell people this they wonder why that's important. What's the big deal about being mindfully living in this moment?
Studies have shown that almost half the time our mind is wandering. We're looking for the next best thing. Or maybe reflecting upon something from our past.
That new car we want. The raise we're afraid to ask for. How we're going to lose weight. When we're going to get laid again. Where we're going on our next vacation. What we're having for supper, even while we're eating our lunch.
So half of the time we're disconnected from this moment. From this slice of time that our creator has given us. We've allowed our mind to wander off from our body.
But the essence of life is in this moment. Think of the last time you were at a beach, smelling the salt air, feeling the vibration of the waves. Or driving through the mountains with the windows down, enjoying the scent of the forest. Or maybe spending time on a lake with a loved one. These are the moments when we're present, the moments when we're connected to life.
Aside from being here when we meditate, there are over 10,000 studies demonstrating collateral benefits of the practice. These include lower blood pressure, less depression, an ongoing sense of well-being, and much more.
Here's free information about the practice if you'd like to know more.
