Look deeply into your present sensations, but without any expectation whatsoever. Which feelings do you see? Let them know: „I see you. I feel you. I have no expectations. You are free. And I love you.“

You don’t have to strategize about who you should be in this moment or how you should respond. This moment is already revealing your truth. You can recognize it in the inner silence of your heart. But if you search for it, you won’t find it, for what already is cannot be found. It’s here, now.

It’s completely foolish to fight against what we’re feeling in this moment. We can change a lot on the outside, but we cannot win against what is within us right now. So let go of the struggle. Completely. Embrace what is, exactly as it is.

You don't need to strategize how to respond correctly in later moments. Your honest response is revealed in the moment itself—right now. It is already here, arising naturally. Do not retreat into strategy or pre-plan your responses, for then it will no longer arise from you, but from your mind.

Are the impressions true that my present sensations are triggering? Are the suggestions true? Is the story about myself true right now? Observe. Observe. Observe. Separate the present sensations from their interpretations.

The present cannot resolve the present; it can only dissolve the need to be resolved. Just see that: The present experience is unresolvable in this moment. There’s only a giving up which naturally happens once the truth is clear. This giving up changes everything.

Being present as a means to end suffering is suffering. Being present for its own sake is love.

We are not creating the emotional waves within us. We can only surrender to them. But surrender is not the absence of decision and power: If we choose to be moved by them, we are moved by them. This is our freedom.

Find the feeling you’re trying to oppose in this moment Stay with it until you realize that a feeling cannot be fought out of existence, and that the fight was never necessary It’s ok to be sad when you realize that it was all for nothing To grieve how long you opposed what only needed to be felt

Take this moment for what it actually is. The sight. The sound. The feeling. Leave all mental interpretations behind.

Observing the reflections of the sun without an observer. Keeping track of the sounds of the wind without a tracker. Following the sensations of the body without a follower. Monitoring the imaginations of the mind without a monitor.

What is the view of the sky without a viewer? What is the sound of the birds without a listener? What is the imagination of a dream without an imaginer? What is the present feeling of the body without a feeler?

Do you feel at peace in this moment? If not, what feels attacked right now? And is it? Do you feel acknowledged in this moment? If not, what feels disagreed with or unseen right now? And is it? Do you feel validated in this moment? If not, what feels condemned right now? And is it?

My safety in the future does not make me more or less safe in this moment. My future peace does not put me more or less at peace in this moment. My later contentment does not make me more or less content in this moment. What is now is what is now, and only to that I can actually relate.

Self-acceptance arises naturally from a simple recognition: The fact of your own existence-in-this-moment. Simply give a "yes" to that—to what is here right now: To the thoughts. To the feelings. To the body.

The entrance to present experience cannot be blocked, because the present experience is already here. It is already present. Even the attempt to block it is already part of the present experience. Now is here. Enjoy it.

There is no more "present moment" than now. This is all there is. Now "the present" is as present as it ever gets.

True self-acceptance is just as dynamic as the rate of change. Non-resistance is simply what is, without interruption.

Looking very closely, my dear: Is there any actual need to go against anything in this present moment, which is already here right now? Where is that need? What is demanding your opposition?

“Why am I here right now—in this very moment—in the way that I am?” Why? Have you ever asked yourself this question deeply? Have you ever sat with it for an hour? Maybe you are meant to be here, now, just as you are. One thing is clear: In the face of this knowing, it is easy to embrace yourself.

Take off those glasses that have written “This moment is not yet it“ on them, and look around with compassion. Now. What do you see? What do you hear? What do you feel?

What we actually seek is the end of seeking a different experience than the one we are having in this moment. This changing present experience.

As long as you have goals, you will have unfulfilled goals—obviously. Having a goal means that it is not yet fulfilled. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be a goal. Now we don’t have to stop having goals. Question is, can we be okay with that fact of endless unfulfillment?

If something is supposed to be here now, then it is, here, right now—in this very moment. If it is not here, now, then it is not supposed to be here now. So, relax, my love. Enjoy the show. Create something beautiful.

The source of all courage is now—in this very moment. Only now you can find what is here.

When, in this very moment, you no longer need the future— for no reason at all— you’ve made it to the other side. You are finally free. You are back in this moment.

While looking at the sunlight’s reflections, what do you have to do to see them? While listening to the songs of the birds, what do you have to do to hear them? While attending to the sensations of the body, what do you have to do to feel them? What do you have to do to be fully awake right now?

You have the fundamental right to be where you are, exactly as you are, in this moment. That right cannot be taken away from you. You are yourself. You belong here. You are worthy of gentleness, simply because you are unavoidably undeniably you.

Stop trying to manage your present emotional state and start living your life again. This life is in your hands. The flow of your emotions is not. Let them take care of themselves. Leave them alone. Feel whatever you feel, and let it all pass through.

Where is the rule that says you can't feel this way right now? Where is the boundary that stops you from feeling it all? Where is the inability to be as you are in this moment? Where is the threat, the judgment, the impossibility? Behind all of this: the true desire to be exactly as you are.

The permission for the present feelings to be exactly what they are is given by themselves—their expression in this moment is untouchable. No one is needed for inner freedom. What is truly free is already free.

Painful, but real. Unpleasant, but true. Uncomfortable, but not ignored. Difficult, but faced. Felt, but not feared. Accepted, but not carried forever. Seen for what it is. Released for what it isn’t. And finally—free. This moment, as it is.

Liberation is the endless immediacy of what is already being felt in this moment. Deeper and deeper and deeper and deeper.

The truth of this moment is the highest degree of intimacy. Nothing is closer. Nothing is more intimate. This is already as close as anything can ever be.

The present experience is the only available salvation, simply because it is all there ever is. This. All this which is. Sight. Sounds. Bodily feelings. Thoughts. Whatever is actually present. Real peace can only be made with what is really present. And only what is present is ever present.

Attending to your emotions—paying attention to them—is not a mechanism of self-control. It is a gift you can give yourself. A wonderful gift indeed! Maybe the greatest gift of all.

When you shift from trying to have achievements—which is always in the future, outside of your control—to simply executing the task at hand, in this moment or at this day, magic will happen in your life. Be specific, realistic, measurable, time-bound—and, most importantly, act from your heart.

We can prefer a known shitty feeling over unknown feelings, just because certainty feels safer than uncertainty The deeper paradox is that we may be trying to avoid feeling worse, but in doing so we keep reproducing the very state we endlessly seek to escape The only release: This moment, as it is

The only reason we are stuck is that we don’t want to change. More fundamentally, we don’t want to change on the level of our bodily sensations. We want to know how we will feel, even if it means that we feel just as shitty as we do—at least we can be sure that we don’t feel more shitty than now.

The felt, present experience IS THE FULL EXCHANGE for the past. What is now is endlessly rewriting the reality of life. Be open to it. Listen to it. Behold it. Feel it.

The sun on my skin is releasing my trauma. The wind in the trees makes me forget what has been. The sound of the birds lets me enter this space where no memory is informing me anymore. The sensations in my heart, here in this moment, make me exchange that which was for that which is now.

The present experience is not the problem; it is the solution… Resistance to it is what keeps the past psychologically alive. The past does not have to be fought or resolved. Full contact with what is happening now is what dissolves the resistance that gave the past its continuing power.

When we allow the present, we let go of the past. This moment, as it is, is the unending ending of whatever has been. Receive what is present, and whatever has passed is released by itself. Enter your experience, and there is nowhere else for you to be now.

Follow the sensations to the liberating truth of this present moment. Let them move through you, let them overtake you, and let them reveal to you what has always been here: this moment, as it is.
