Returning to the present

Awareness is the ground every other practice stands on. “Limitless Awareness” is an invitation to come back from the past and the future and meet your life as it is actually happening.

How mindfulness can help

Mindfulness is mostly the practice of returning. We are not trying to silence the mind, only to notice when attention has wandered and bring it back to the breath, the body, or the sensations of this moment. Each return is the practice.

Gentle steps to try

Rest in one sense. Choose one sense, sound, touch, or sight, and let your attention rest there for a slow minute.
Notice the wandering. When the mind drifts, you might quietly note “thinking” and lead it back. Noticing is not failing.
Ease off the effort. You do not have to make anything happen. Awareness is already here. Let yourself rest in it.
Let it spill over. Bring the same attention to washing a dish, walking to the door, or greeting someone.

The present moment is the only place life is happening, and it is always available. It welcomes you back every time.

A note from Sean

One of my favorite practices is noticing “I am stressed,” then shifting it to “there is stress.” We move from I am to there is. Then we can see the stress changing as we pay attention to it.

Try this today. Set a timer for five minutes. Watch your breath. With part of your mind, notice whether you are still watching it. When you see you have drifted, return to the breath.
