Live in the Present Moment - What the heck does that even mean?

Last week, while getting into shavasana (corpse pose) at the end of my exercise class, I was trying to have everyone relax so I said " Try and be in the present moment". We hear that a lot - but what does that really mean?

Well, our past is just memories - our future is imagination - so all we are left in control of is our "present moment". Now this doesn't mean that you have to let your mind go completely blank. That is why some people fear mediation (that's for another blog). Just relax and let whatever thoughts come through - come through.

The reason I'm saying all this here, is because I find that when I just completely relax and try to be present---that is when it is the easiest for spirits to come through. So if you are hoping to feel the energy of a loved one or see a sign from them - just be present.

Peace for today...
