Living the moment.

And so it began – I found myself on January the 2nd, sitting in a cubicle in A&E. I had been in pain since Christmas Day and again had not even taken the time to listen to my body.

I was alone in the tiny room, the prodding and poking had stopped while I waited for some test results and the doctors to make a decision on my care – So the Angels had plenty of time to sneak in a lesson!!

The pain was becoming unbearable and I prayed from my heart, really, really hard.

And there it was, a gentle voice guiding me on what to do – I focused on my breathing, following it into my body. My awareness of my “inner world” grew as my focus became stronger. At the same time of this “inner be-ing” I was made to be aware of the sounds that surrounded me and to listen to the silence beyond the sounds. I was completely in the moment and felt an incredible sense of “me”. A “me” that had become detached from the pain and emotion, causing it to no longer exist – it was fantastic.

I realized that I had gone within myself, to an inner sanctuary, if you like, where our True Being can be found. I was out of my mind – not as in madness – but away from any focus on my thoughts, pain, emotion – even time.

Well, I was booked into a hospital bed and ended up there for just over a week. It was an amazing week, bizarre as that may sound. I believe that not even a week in the Seychelles would have compared. The Angels had me all to themselves in a quiet room – perfect.

I spent a lot of time practicing on allowing my breath to carry me to my inner world, while still on some level being aware of my surroundings. I would see a vision of me sitting in a cave, perfectly still, balanced and so very, very peaceful. I became aware that this was all about being completely in the moment.

While I read books, while I ate, I was in “contact” with my inner being. In “negative “ conversations, this was the case too and so I could “hear” and feel my truth over the conversations. It did not matter what was going on around me, I was complete and at peace inside. From this place I was able to be in control and make choices from my heart – no longer following dictation from others.

Living in the moment also meant I was not projecting any thoughts or emotions of my past into the future, therefore preventing all “cycles of my life” to be re- created.

The “I am” and “I have” grew in strength.

This experience I have shared with you has once again changed my life.

I am at peace with be-ing. I now live in the moment – not the past or the future for neither exists. I feel centered and balanced so much more than before, finding that noise, arguments or others “opinions” do not ruffle my feathers. I can remain in this perfect place inside of me.

I know I have more work to do on this – practice makes perfect *smile*. But that practice and commitment to myself, is worth more than all the stars in the Heavens above.

For it is when you change your inner world to a place of wholeness and peace, that life mirrors that back to you. As I have said many a time before – seek inside of you. And the Bible affirms this by saying “the kingdom of God, lives inside of you.”

The Angels have also said that we need to learn to remain “who we truly are”, no matter what goes on around us. This is how our light and our spiritual power will remain consistent and strong – and so help heal the war, illness and poverty in the world. When we keep getting knocked off balance by the “illusions” of the world around us, including our personal lives, we are not consistent and therefore not in our true power.

So, I urge you, my beautiful friends to step out of the mind and out of the man made measure of time, past and future. The true you lives inside of you.

Let your breath take you there. Live each moment, for each moment holds a miracle – and that miracle is YOU.
