Living in the Present
I was at Whole Foods, eating lunch
on their outdoor mezzanine, when I realized that I needed
a napkin. At that moment a woman jumped up and started
chasing her napkin in the swirling wind for about thirty
feet before she gave up. I watched the napkin dance in the
wind, as it tossed and spun itself into the center of two
boys playing. The sight made me chuckle as the boys
screamed at the leaves and napkin moving in a circle
around them. The napkin slowly made its way toward me as I
wondered, "Is this a coincidence, manifestation, happy
accident or living in the present?"
Maybe it was a lesson on being present and paying
attention, but that term is hard to wrap my head around.
What does being present mean? I hear people say using this
term in a way that seems to imply that we are not doing
something important (tee hee). During a conversation, the
mind can wander off into thought, so does that mean I am
no longer present? Do thoughts of the past and future mean
that you have left the present or are you being present to
those thoughts?
Abraham Maslow once said, "The ability to be in the
present moment is a major component of mental wellness."
Oh great, now I am wondering about my mental health (lol)!
Maybe living in the present is an indicator of our overall
well-being and the impetus for releasing and healing the
past, without attention to the future or outcomes. Let's
see if a whisper from an angel can bring us to living in
the present:
Living in the present should be
viewed as a conscious state of being with focus from an
elevated perspective. Life offers many distractions and
constant decisions around how you will approach each
situation. Some people are firmly rooted in the present
with one foot in the past and one in the future, while
others seem to get stuck in the past or the illusions of
the future to the point of being distracted.
Follow the order of your ideas and patterns to better
understand and discern your own ability to live in the
present. Within each choice you make, there is energy that
defines the influence from past experiences or the
uncertainty of your future. You can maintain presence
while acting upon the lessons of those influences, because
there is a higher truth that always speaks to those who
listen.
Ascension leads to living in the present at the highest
levels and the free will of choice gives you the freedom
to make conscious decisions. Belief in a Higher Power
gives freedom to the individual and releases the pressure
to control outcomes. That is why faith is such an
important aspect of the Divine life path.
Nature provides a theater of presence in the moment as the
animal kingdom perfectly displays the purpose-filled life.
Play, sing, dance, laugh and love as a way of living in
the moment, and you will return to the conscious state of
being that is the rightful inheritance of your inner
child. Do not allow others to dictate the life you were
born to live. Set intentions around the love for life.
Follow your heart to light the path of love. Feel, speak
and teach love to know true presence.
Bring joy, ease suffering
and create beauty, then dance like you mean it!
Blessings, Russell

Dearest Russell –
I just needed to say hello and send you such gratitude for
putting me on the list to receive your Angel Whispers that you
do for everyone each week.
There is so much I get from them, and they especially ring
true as a message I am needing even when it doesn’t seem that
way at the beginning – there is always one!
But often times many!!!
Such Divine perfection!
