SUMMARY:
In this dialogue between the “I” and the “I AM,” the search for meaning and the feeling of unease that arises when expectations are not met are addressed. The “I” longs for a life full of magic and constant changes, while the “I AM” points out the importance of finding fulfillment in the present and in the simplest acts. The need to practice awareness of the “Here and Now” is emphasized, recognizing each moment as an opportunity to experience inner divinity. The invitation is to stop seeking outside oneself and to connect with the pulse of the heart, finding in each act the expression of the spiritual being. Wisdom is discovered through constant practice and the realization that everything sought is already present within. The central message is to remember that spiritual realization is not found in the frantic pursuit of external experiences, but in deep connection with the inner self and living fully in the present moment.
QUOTE:
“The future is built with the actions of the present. Stop looking at the horizon and contemplate the axis that you are.”
EXERCISES:
Here and Now Meditation:
Dedicate a few minutes each day to focus on the present moment. Sit in a quiet place, close your eyes, and breathe deeply. Bring your attention to your senses: feel the temperature of the air on your skin, listen to the sounds around you, observe the sensations in your body. Recognize that this moment is unique and special. Repeat the affirmation silently: “I am here and now, fully experiencing this moment.”
Heartbeat Meditation:
Find a quiet moment to sit comfortably. Place a hand on your heart and close your eyes. Focus your attention on the beats of your heart. Feel each pulse as a connection with your inner self. Imagine your heart beating in rhythm with the universe, reminding you of your connection with everything that exists. Breathe in harmony with the beats of your heart.
Gratitude for the Simple Meditation:
Before starting your day or at its end, reflect on the simplest acts you’ve performed. It could be something as basic as drinking water, taking a breath of fresh air, or smiling. Close your eyes and become aware of how these small acts are expressions of your inner self. Feel gratitude for the ability to experience and be conscious of these everyday actions.
Inner Realization Meditation:
Sit in a quiet place and breathe deeply. Visualize a bright light in your heart, representing your divine essence. Imagine how this light expands and fills your entire being. Recognize that everything you seek is already present within you: peace, love, joy, wisdom. Allow yourself to feel inner realization by acknowledging that you are whole just as you are.
