'Tis the season!
Don't wait!
Do this now.
Let's begin...
Now follow along and visualize this to yourself, picture it in your mind, as you read along with me. First take a deep, full breath in, all the way down to your belly and let it out slowly now, and spend a few moments just focusing on your breath as it comes in and out slowly and calmly. Now picture the sky up above you with the bright sun high up overhead. Feel the warmth of the sun on your face as you continue to take deep full centering breaths calming and relaxing you now as you bask in the light of the sun. Just be still in this moment.
Now as you are quiet and still notice as thoughts about your day, worries about deadlines or any of life's difficulties just spill out into your stillness, almost as though you are holding back a levee of thoughts and its slowly seeping out. Now see in your mind these repetitive thoughts, some negative, some not, these thoughts you have about who you are and what you are, how you feel and what you think of your surroundings. You know those thoughts that play like a tape recording throughout your day.
Watch now as the thoughts transform in your mind into clouds as they fill up the sky and block the warmth from the sun. So now picture yourself safely rising up into the sky through those clouds of busy and negatively patterned thoughts. Seeing them separate from oneself now you know in this moment, you are more than your thoughts...
Don't wait!
Do this now.

Realize that as you are coming out of the cloud cover up back into the brilliance and warmth of the sun that you are moving beyond these limiting thoughts back to the you that is eternal. You are transcending to the witness, that infinite part of you that is not attached to any emotions or preconceived notions of what the world is like. It is being in that childlike innocence. This is where you are now. See the clouds below you now as they drift past and feel the powerful connection from the warmth of the sun revitalizing your true self. Feel the textures of the clouds, realizing again that you are more than these senses. You are the still small scribe to this infinite sea of experiences. Know that you are beyond your emotions. You are connected to your source, aware, alert. Now slowly bring yourself back into this space, the room you are in, feeling comfortable and relaxed in your body, knowing in a deep place that you are better for this, and it is so...
Are you presently present now?
If not, take a second to remember who you are, where you are and why you are...
Do you have goals?
What is it you truly want?
What is keeping you from being there now?
Will you save yourself in time?
There is only one lifetime we are currently aware of so we must capitalize on our experience of the present in order to harness the full potentiality in every instant of our perception...
Presence can be experienced in a great number of ways from some deep breaths to simply being in your body.
Create a mantra consisting of a few things you are working to create for oneself...
Here's how you do it:
Simplify whatever your goal is into a few words and just keep the saying or phrase that you can run in the background noise of your mind, repeating on autopilot while you are mentally focused on the outside world, being aware of one's own body as such is a difficult undertaking...
Create now in this new year whatever it is you can envision with all of your senses. See yourself presently in perfect awareness of your consciousness, being in the flow.
Happy 2016!!!!

Light for your path...
Just be.
