Obstacles to being present

I have been reflecting on the fact that there have not been many posts in the last couple of weeks. There could be lots of reasons; for instance, perhaps its especially nice weather where you live, and you’ve been away from your computer a lot. But I will assume it has something to do with the themes and practices we are working with.

The practices have focused on being present (instead of holding on the past or being drawn by an image of the future). In my experience, it takes a certain mindset to do this practice for more than just a few moments.A good way to work with the reading is to ask why this should be. There are lots of answers given. What we would like to be able to do is to feel the weightiness of those answers in our own experience. But it weighs us down. We have to be ready to acknowledge that and to work with it.
