This week I am travelling, I have holidays to spend with my family and I realise how precious is that. I had days with no internet connection, but full with nature connection..and the results are amazing. I used this opportunity to exercise presence, to notice how much my mind was drifting into the past or the future, or simply into « spam thoughts », missing the present moment. Anytime I noticed that shift, I tried to focus even harder to stay in the here and now. I discovered something: when I saw in the blue sky a bird flying, it was for me a reminder to come back from my useless thoughts to the present moment..the birds were for me the guardians of my mind! They brought me back again and again, until I could really see their beauty and feel the sun and gentle breeze on my skin. Wow! How nice it is to have moments of silence inside and out, just to look at nature with the eyes of a child. When this happens, space is created into my day, the breaths are slower and I feel that I am really enjoying my holidays. By training presence, we do not miss all the beauty in our lives. Of course, the digital technology is challenging us every day, taking us away from the present moment and nature. I am considering a diet from the internet (but I will still keep it to a minimum and I will continue using it for this blog and the Masterkey class, of course), from the useless stuff that is constantly distracting us from the present moment. I did it already with TV, but I will do more now on other internet applications. I also noticed that, when we have our Iphones, we constantly check emails, Facebook etc, when there is a moment of « space »in our busy lives…like we have a kind of « horror vacui« , an artistic latin term to define » fear for the emptyness ». Actually, I know, more than ever, that this emptyness is exactly what my Soul desires most.
