Even though I can confidently say I have experienced “being in the moment,” the concept often baffles me. I’ve experienced it. I know it’s real, but when it slips away, I doubt if it ever happened.
Both realities exist in my mind: a state of knowing living simultaneously with absolute confusion. These days, I keep an eye on my resistance to feeling lost, which comes alongside anger for not finding “the way.”
Here’s a formula that helps me shift the energy:
When confusion comes around, I try to find presence. I hold the feeling in my chest and let it dig its claws, reminding myself that it’s harmless, just an overgrown emotion that has lost its way. I visualize it moving in my chest.
Stay with it. No part left behind.
Allowing the feeling to express itself creates a third option—a sweet spot where it isn’t this or that, here or there, me or you. It’s everything.
Holding your fears while moving forward is the bravest thing a scared person can do.
We get to watch ourselves grow when we push our limits, forming new waves with each attempt. There will be moments of clarity and moments of despair, but something is being born. We’re waking up to what is possible.
I pray we see a future that reflects this work.
