Meditation on the present moment

5 Mindfulness Practices and Tools to use Everyday

One of the best tools to keep yourself in the present moment is meditation. Any meditation will do, but there are some meditation practices geared specifically towards present moment awareness.

To give this meditation a try, follow these simple steps:

Set aside a regular block of time during your day (e.g., 5 minutes first thing in the morning or before you go to bed).
Get in a comfortable position—but not too comfortable! You don’t want to fall asleep when you’re trying to meditate. Sitting upright may be the best posture.
Set up an “inner gatekeeper” to control what comes in and what must stay out of the mind. Instruct the gatekeeper to keep out any thoughts of the past or the future for the rest of your current practice.
Repeat this phrase silently to yourself three times: “Now is the time to be aware of the present moment. I let go of the past and the future.”
Turn your attention towards the sounds you hear. Allow them to wash over you and focus only on the current sound you are hearing, not the one you just heard or any sound you may hear next.
Focus on your bodily sensations: your arms resting on the arms of a chair or on your lap, your legs on the chair or folded up underneath you, the feel of your clothing on your skin, any pain or muscle aches, any twitches or flutterings, and any other sensations you might be feeling.
Turn your focus to the thoughts going through your head. Observe them as they enter your mind, swirl around your consciousness, then exit your mind. Let each thought pass, labeling them as they go (e.g., “hurt” or “happy”) and keeping your mind open for the next thought to arise.
Finally, focus on your breathing. Notice your natural breathing pattern and take note of how your chest rises and falls with each breath (Henshaw, 2013).
Basic mindfulness meditation: focusing on your breathing, a word, or a mantra and allowing thoughts to come and go without judgment.
Body sensations: being aware of bodily sensations like itching, tingling, soreness, or a tickling sensation and accepting them without judgment, then letting them pass.
Sensory: being aware of what you are seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting, and touching without judgment, then labeling them and letting the sensations pass.
Emotions: allowing emotions to be present in yourself without judging or trying to neutralize them; practicing the naming/labeling of the emotions and allowing them to arise and letting them go just as easily.
Urge surfing: coping with cravings by accepting them without judgment, noticing how you feel as they hit, and reminding yourself that they will pass (HelpGuide, n.d.).

Spirituality, being present

Absolute truth and relative truth

There are two types of self. The first is our absolute self or true self, which is formless Presence. The second is our relative self, which is our form-based self as a person, including our body, name, roles, thoughts and personal history. The ego does not understand the absolute self and will never accept the relative self. If the ego were to understand the absolute self, it would realize it is no longer required and cease to exist. The ego keeps itself alive through its ignorance of the true self and dissatisfaction of the relative self through craving for things to be fixed or different to how they are now. The ego will always want us to gain something, lose something or grasp onto something.
