The Fastest Way To Drop Into The Present Moment

There’s only one question you need to ask and it can free you immediately

They say that the present moment is all there is.

You’ll find that it’s true.

If you stop for long enough to notice.

That’s easier said than done of course.

Our busy minds rarely give us a chance to slow down.

And when they finally do the same question often arises…

“Now what?”

But that’s a question that will lead directly back to thinking.

The question that can ultimately free you

There’s one technique I’ve found more effective than others.

And it drops you into the present moment immediately.

In fact, you cannot ask this question and not be mindful.

That question:

“Am I aware?”

Pause for a moment and ask yourself that question. But, instead of allowing the mind to answer it, let your mind fall silent.

As Eckhart Tolle says,

The moment you realize you are not present, you are present.
