Meditation - From “If only” mind to Presence
Today, we'll spend about ten minutes realigning with presence by quieting the "if-only mind"—the part of our mind that constantly seeks something outside ourselves for fulfillment. This is the, "I would be happy "if _______ were different in my life."
The "if-only mind" traps us in a cycle of wishing life were different than it is right now.
In this meditation, we'll practice bringing ourselves back to the present moment, noticing our breath, and observing our thoughts and sensations without judgment and redirecting ourselves to the moment.
By cultivating this awareness, we can learn to respond to life as it unfolds, finding peace and fulfillment in the here and now.
