Feeling the Here and Now with All Your Might
I feel like everyone is bound by the past and the future.
Past glory.
Past trauma.
Past memories.
Expectations for the future.
Anxiety about the future.
None of these exist here and now.
I saw it somewhere, but
even in the timeline we are living in now, one second before this very moment
is a past life.
There are past-life readings in fortune-telling,
but if you are told,
You were a samurai in the past,
you wouldn't think, 'A samurai? Then I'll live like a samurai!!'
would you?
You'd just think, 'Oh, a samurai, huh? That was an interesting reading,'
and your current life wouldn't change much, right?
Even in the timeline we live in, things that happened in the past are just like that.
Past glory,
past trauma,
including all the good and bad things, they are things that have already passed, and there is no need to be attached to them.
Of course, the same goes for the future.
I'm worried about my old age. Can I keep this job until retirement?
Will I stay healthy forever?
I think there are many people
who get anxious thinking about what lies ahead.
However, one thing I can say is that the future is completely unknown.
And yet, it's such a waste to keep emitting anxious energy
and wearing yourself out, isn't it?
Some people might think, 'If I don't look back at the past or think about the future,
what should I do?'
Of course, the answer is to feel this very moment with all your might!!
What do you see in front of you?
What sounds can you hear right now?
What does the food you are eating taste like?
To put it another way,
what does your breathing feel like?
Try to feel the sound of your own heartbeat.
So what?
You might think.
There is no reason.
Just feel this very moment and set yourself free from being attached to the past and the future.
When you do that, feelings of anxiety and impatience strangely disappear.
Also, while this is a big topic, a sense of gratitude for the fact that I am alive in this very moment also wells up within me🙏✨️
You only have one life, so why not try living this moment to the fullest??(๑ơ ₃ ơ)✨✨
