Jack´Welcome Back: Diving into Time
In your third paragraph you recommended a short exercise and I did it.
In the moment when I´ve been reading your text a visitor came in. My wife opened the door, but I did the exercise, have been keeping my place.
This is my experience (often): I feel it immediately when I´m “inâ€, in other words, “present or in presentâ€. The “getting –in†happens best when I´m close to my breathing, putting the tip of the tongue (Kum Nye-gesture) behind the upper teeth. My awareness is directed towards inside and outside. But, and this I noticed last time more and more, I can stay in this state of being present only 3 or 4 breathes. Then I´m falling back in the “normally stateâ€, out of noticing time, being in the flow of time and being well present.
This may be also a move in the right direction – but it is also a sufficient experience.
