Being Present to Your Own Life |
Simple does not mean easy. The notion that being in "the now" has something to do with "going with the flow" and passing from experience to experience in a passive state of mind does not lead to presence. There is no such thing as "going with the flow"; there is no conscious flow. We are present for brief durations each time we make an intentional effort to be present. When presence recedes we must again make an intentional effort. Without effort, presence will not remain.
