We can travel all over the world in our minds. We can make up all kinds of things. How many of us are writing an ongoing novel going on in our minds with a cast of characters that is constantly chatting at us....even when we lay our heads on our pillows at night? As the mind travels the body and breath are always right here...right now. As you are talking to me, I might be writing my grocery list in my mind, worrying about my kid or fantasizing about a new car. And yet my body doesn't move. The body breathes. The body and breath are always present. This is your way in. Your way to living a life of presence. Because this indeed is where happiness lives. This is the space of aliveness. Spend today tracking your body and breath. As you sit in a meeting or fold the laundry, hold a crying baby or listen in on a conference call....what are you noticing in your body? Use your senses. What do you smell? Taste? Hear? Feel? Are you noticing tension..sensation? What are you noticing about your breath? Are you breathing shallow, are you holding your breath? Without trying to change anything keeping returning to the portals of the body and breath.
