I was grounded in the present moment: observing the sights and sounds around me without labeling; in tune with the inner energy field of my body, like breathing. Sure, at some points, thought would naturally come in. But rather than resist, I would welcome and allow the thoughts. I was the "observer" of thought as opposed to being fully identified to 'em. And for the past couple of months, I've been practicing Gratitude Level Two (Steve's fabulous blog, you have to check it out if you haven't already done so). At times, I'd visualize myself being fully and completely present. |
