Living in the Present: The Secret to a Serenely Aware Life
I have been practising meditation for years and consider it a true salvation in our hectic society. This practice does not follow rigid rules: it is accessible to everyone. The secret lies in the awareness that the past and the future do not exist, because true well-being is found in the present, in Existence. Controlling and silencing the mind, lying down and doing nothing may seem simple concepts, but our mind is so accustomed to activity that, after a few minutes, it starts thinking about the future. This is not true inner silence.
The Key to Balance and Serenity
This practice teaches us to observe our thoughts without judgement, letting them pass like clouds in the sky. Living in the present allows us to find balance and serenity, transforming every breath into a melody of peace. Silencing the mind is an act of devotion and prayer, a practice that has helped me navigate life’s challenges with grace and tranquillity.
Travelling with Soul: A Mindful Experience
The Art of Being Aware on the Move
Travel becomes a natural extension of inner silence. Being contemplative, celebrating the nature of a new place, blending with it, are acts of pure mindfulness. Rising to witness an exotic sunrise and admiring it in silence is a profoundly transformative experience. Travelling mindfully means living in the present, observing every detail with new eyes and an open heart.
Tips for a Mindful Practice during Travels
Integrating inner silence into travels amplifies the experience itself. Watching the sunrise and sunset, walking while focusing on the breath, finding quiet places to reflect in silence, are all ways to experience travel with deep mindfulness. Listening to the sounds of nature and letting yourself be guided into a state of deep reflection.
Conclusion: Embrace Inner Transformation
The practice of inner silence is extraordinary, connecting us with our most authentic self, offering calm and serenity. I invite everyone to experience this practice, both at home and during travels, to discover the transformative power of mindfulness and the joy of living in the present.
