The Present

I can reflect back on many times and instances since I've met him that Genjo Marinello Osho has said, "Be clear, pay attention, be alert, be awake, be present!" In other words be Mindful. Mindfulness is such an important practice and should not be underestimated.

I have times that I was driving, but not attentive or aware that I was speeding. Sometimes I eat and I'm not noticing that I am eating. I've had conversations with people, yet though my body was physically there, my Mind was not. It was perhaps, 3000 miles away. I was certainly not present, certainly not mindful and because of that, I missed, being in "The Present."

When we are as Genjo Osho says, "Clear, attentive, alert, awake and present," the quality of our moments, our instances fundamentally change. It's the difference between reading a menu and eating something that was actually on it. And when we are fully Mindful and fully present, we are completely experiencing our interconnected this and this can influence use psychically, mentally and spiritually. Practice at Being present!
