It has been said that if we are living in the moment, time seems to slow down. Most of us are continually looking ahead or reminiscing about the past. Humour me for just a couple of moments. Still your mind, at least as much as you can. Experience the moment completely and each thought that goes through your mind, especially the ones that keeps repeating themselves. Did you experience thoughts of “this is stupid!”, or “you are wasting time" or "go do something”? This is just ego. Ignore it.
Some find that this short five minutes seemed like an eternity. When we pay attention to the moment, time seems to move much more slowly.
For those of us that have experienced an accident, for example, will recall how time seems to slow down during the event. The accident feels to be in slow motion. How many thoughts go through our minds when we are experiencing an accident? The mind races in and out of potential outcomes. During these events, it seems as though there is no shortage of time. It feels as though we have plenty to time to react and we can utilize completely the few seconds that it takes for the event to occur.
This is the mind focusing on the moment. We can intentionally do the same thing, with practice, to slow time down.
Time is a man-made illusion and we cannot slow down the actual motion between seconds, but we can focus on the moment completely. No one can escape the passage of time, but we certainly can control our mind’s focus. Our mind works just as our muscles do. It takes repetition to build our abilities of mind control. When our mind wonders, we gently remind it of the moment so that it can be refocus again. The more we practice, the easier it gets.
Be here now. Capture the moment to live in the now.
We truly only have this very moment. Why waste the now spending it to think of what has been or what may be. A minute wasted is sixty seconds we will never have again. Do not waste the miracle of life that we have.
