You Are Already Here
You are standing in the water.
No need to go find it. And the more you try, the less you notice: You are already here.
It's okay to breathe. You can look up. You are here.
Here is where you have been trying to go. What you have been trying to find is here.
The work has already been done for you. Your work is not to make it happen. Your work is to receive.
I know that can be hard to believe. And that's why I'm not asking you to believe me. Instead, I'm asking you to take 60 seconds and see for yourself:
For 60 seconds...
Let go of your breathing. Feel how as you let go, your breathing becomes deeper and more nourishing to you. Almost as if you are "being breathed."
Let go of your focus. Let your eyes open, soften your gaze, and let the light in. Feel the release of the muscles around your eyes. Notice how long they have been holding on. Invite them to let go.
If there are any seconds left, do the same with your other senses...
In this moment there is no need to protect yourself. It is safe to be here.
After 60 seconds, notice what has changed. All of life is just the same as it was. Your "problems" are just where they were. But you are not where you were.
You are here.
And from here, your problems are not so heavy. From here, the road ahead may not seem so long. From here, things are more clear. From here, you have a deeper sense of who, and what, you really are.
We can spend decades trying to change things. And then, in just 60 seconds, everything can change.
