@@MyTwoSenseKeepTheChange Ah, yes, so much peace… Thank you for sharing that❣️ What a blessing to have those gentle reminders throughout the day. You can be thankful for every one of them. 🥰🙏🏻
So positive and beautiful! What a relief from all the gloom and doom of the world things out there. I breathed a sigh of relief when you popped up! Thank you so much ❤.
This was so timely for me. Hahaaaa! I could not sleep last night because an incident from some years ago kept playing in my mind. A plan fell though, words not spoken, doubt about a friendship… I ask myself why is this coming up when I’m trying to sleep? Finally in the wee hours I fell asleep. Now I am awake and watching your video thinking how do I move from psychological time and thoughts into the present (sleep time)? Why does the brain do this? I’m relaxed snd ready to sleep and the brain says “Oh no… now we are going to review every problem, every friendship, every event in your life including conversations that may or may not have happened! Sleep? Oh, not for you, my friend! I’m here to entertain you!”
LOL, I love the dialogue. Yes, I think many of us are familiar with that voice - especially around 3 in the morning… 🙄 Your question is actually part of the problem which I have tried to expose in this video. Rather than asking, “How do I move from psychological time and thoughts into the present?” realise that presence is your natural state and that you keep thinking your way out of it. This provides a very different perspective of the situation because now you don’t have to try to do anything. You simply need to realise what you’re doing that’s taking you away. Personally, I find that taking deep, conscious breaths always brings me back to presence. Of course, there may be many thoughts bothering your peace and sleep, but just keep coming back. 💜 Also, you may find this video helpful: ua-cam.com/video/76wPucTJ3eQ/v-deo.htmlsi=M1GL5rdP7vuZTqE9
It's such an important distinction-the difference between clock time and psychological time. Once that penny drops, it really is mind-blowing, as you said! What a fantastic and enjoyable video.
@@ukexplored Right? I came across it in Practising the Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle and it revolutionised my understanding of time. Thanks so much for watching and commenting❣️I wonder what the chances are of getting it on the curriculum one day…🤔
Wow. Thank you so much ❤ I think I'm gonna carry this concept with me always (the present vs psychological time). Grateful to have stumbled upon this video 🌻
Thanks Alikki. Beautiful video and great topic. I find the mind always conceptualizes everything, even the idea of being self-aware. We experience Presence only when the mind is silent. I like Eckhart Tolle's suggestion of taking 3 conscious breaths several times a day, and when doing so, feeling the aliveness of our bodies through our senses. He says this is more effective than meditating for an hour because it's spread out during the day.
@@ThelmaM123 Thanks for your insightful comment, Thelma❣️ I think you may have given me an idea for another video…🙏🏻 I must say, I live by that suggestion, although sometimes even just one conscious breath does the job and other times I don’t want to stop after 3. But the point is, as you mentioned, to keep coming back throughout the day. Excellent point. 🥰💕

Insight: Psychological time is NOT our natural state. Such a simple but effective seeing! 👏👏👏
@tabletop9258 Yes❣️I recommend the book Practising the Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle, where I learned about this. 🥰
I always feel so much peace when I stay in the present moment. It takes gentle reminders multiple times per day for me to come back to NOW

@@gidajohnson772 Yes, I find that spiritual truth is simple. It’s the mind that likes to complicate. 😊
Hi! Just curious... are your spiritual realizations influenced by the teachings of Jiddu Krishnamurti?
