Practising meditation morning and evening is very important to help us to understand how our mind works. We are then able to recognise that we need to be present. Can we pay attention to the feeling, come back to the feeling – how you feel in the body when you are standing, talking to someone, or sitting, or walking? This is mindfulness, awareness, attention – bringing awareness back to the present. The body doesn’t lie; it never lies. The body always tells you the truth about where you are. But if you listen to your mind, that is where you go wrong. The body is the best tool you can have because it is always there with you, each moment you come back to the body to see where you are, how you feel. That is your support to stay present, to be able to receive life without trying to control it. And if we forget, instead of getting upset or being critical toward ourselves, we just feel grateful to remember. This is very important: ‘Thank you for remembering. I can start again….’ This is the beauty of the practice, of the teaching. We can start again. We can drop the past and start afresh.
