What really is ‘Being in the Moment?’ And how can you BE it?
By living true to your feelings is being the most in the moment as you can possibly be. When you feel a feeling, if you fully acknowledge it, express it and seek its truth, then you are totally in the moment of that feeling. You are totally THAT FEELING – IT IS YOU, ALL YOU ARE in that moment. And you can’t be in the moment anymore than that. And there is no other moment for you to be in. Anything else that you are doing that is not being fully with and in your feelings is not being in the Feeling-Moment, and is being in some other moment of your minds doing, like a Fantasy Moment. So if you’re off daydreaming in your mind, brain storming using your mind, thinking about whatever, then you’re not paying attention to your feelings, and sure, you are still in the moment with your thoughts, but these thoughts and all your mind does is one step removed from your true self – your soul, which is expressed through your feelings.
So if you want to be the closest you can be to your soul, being your true self, then it’s your feelings you must keep paying attention to and living through. And if you live that way, what can be called a feeling-led life as opposed to a mind-led one, then you will not ever leave or lose yourself, you’ll never get caught up and sidetracked by the illusions and distractions of your mind, and you’ll keep staying focused on the real job at hand – looking to your feelings for their truth.
You know how it is when you are so overtaken by feelings that your mind can’t get a word in, then you in the Feeling Moment. Also you can be so absorbed in your mind that your feelings can’t get a feeling in, however this is detrimental to your well-being because it’s your feelings through which you should attend to yourself in life, not the thoughts and ideas of your mind.
Depending on how you were parented conditions the amount of control your mind has over your feelings. You might believe, and even feel, that your feelings are strong and your mind is not interfering with them, however it might be that your mind is stronger and completing interfering by causing you to feel what you are. Or you might be a person who is more naturally true to their feelings, is passionate about them, feeling them intensely, having been allowed to be more with them and not distracted from them as a child. And you might be volatile in your feeling expression, you might keep them quiet and under wraps, yet still you are connected to them. And from this you can then choose to use them to help you grow spiritually and in truth.
Truth can only come from feelings, not from anything to do with the mind. So if you decide to live true to your feelings, expressing all you feel and then longing to uncover the truth of them, so you will naturally grow in truth throughout your life. If you enjoy expressing feelings but have no intention or desire to use them to help you see truth about yourself, other people, nature or God, then you won’t see any.
Mostly what people attribute to ‘being in the moment’ is something to do with being caught up in the mind. Many people try to let their ‘inner inspiration’ guide them. They have a feeling, so they act on it, their feelings coming from their inner source that is wanting them to go a certain way that will be beneficial for them. But all of that is just playing around in your mind even if feelings are involved. Truly being in the moment is simply going with your feelings and looking for the truth of them as you express them, nothing else.
Our feelings are the most existential part of ourselves that we can express, or BE. We BE angry, miserable, sad, depressed, happy, gay, joyous; we feel, so we be: loving or unloving. And being your feelings is all you can do with them, other than dismissing them. So fully being them, being with them in their BEING MOMENT means simply feeling them. It is allowing yourself to feel them fully. Are you aware of how much you condition, dismiss and deny some of your feelings, and particularly your bad ones – and even some of the good ones too? And so any interference is not being fully in them, not allowing them to be freely as they want to be – as you feel. So it’s interfering with yourself, denying yourself the full feeling you are feeling, so you’re not being true to your feelings, not true to your Feeling Moment.
So as you ARE your feeling, so too are you experiencing it, so it is in our feelings where the existential and experiential overlap and exist together, it’s where our soul expresses its personality that we are in Creation, the boundary if you like between you and your soul, or the true window to your soul. People talk about the eyes being the window to the soul, but really what is it about ones eyes that are so captivating? – it’s the feelings one gets from them, from looking into them. So it’s the feelings that are really the gateway to your soul because it’s your feelings that are the realest part of you, not your thoughts or any other part of your mind.
So as you do your Feeling Healing working to stop the control of your mind over your feelings all so you can live true to yourself, true to all you feel, so you will be drawn repetitively back to just being your feelings, longing for their truth, and nothing else. For really there is nothing else to be. And from this, all else flows: the truth comes and your mind can work putting it all into perspective; and then it’s onto yet more feelings, more truth, more work for your mind, then more feelings. And this is living true, living in the feeling moment, living your will fully empowered through your feelings, it is even living God’s Will.
And you don’t have to do anything, no other spiritual practices are needed to advance your soul in truth. Get rid of them, they are only appealing to your mind and its controlling beliefs. And as you stay true to your feelings you’ll act, you won’t be able to stop yourself from acting, all of which will give rise to yet more feelings to fully acknowledge, honour and seek the truth of. So you don’t have to worry about which feeling or inner inspiration should you act on, you act on all your feelings by expressing them as fully as you can, by allowing yourself to fully be all you feel, and by wanting to know what they are to show you – why you are having them.
And this is being as spiritual as you can be. It’s the highest way to live because you’ll constantly be revealing truth to yourself through your feelings. All else that is said to be spiritual is just mind rubbish, a distraction and will only keep you from the truth, interfere with your true feelings, keeping you out of your feeling-moment.
So there is no big deal about it. You don’t have to affect or contrive any certain behaviour that shows you are in your Feeling Moment. You just be yourself, feel what you feel, speak and express all you feel the best you can in your life, and keep longing for the truth of your feelings.
And some of your truth that you do see about yourself and your relationship with your parents won’t make you feel good, so more bad feelings, but they are then yet more feelings to fully embrace, express and uncover the truth of.
And that’s all there is to it: being true to yourself, living truly in your Feeling Moment.

“What really is ‘Being in the Moment?’ And how can you BE it?
By living true to your feelings is being the most in the moment as you can possibly be.”
It doesn’t mean that at all. ‘Being in the Moment’ means ‘be present in the now’. Focus all your attention on what you are doing now, not on eg, what you are going to have for dinner later, watch on TV, say to your boss tomorrow, what you’re going to do on holiday next year. Or fretting over the stupid, eg does your backside look too big in those pants, what so and so might be thinking about you, etc.
If you don’t focus all your attention on what you are doing right now, it means you’re not really into doing it in the first place, so has no real worth to you. In which case, why are you doing it if it’s meaningless to you. It’s a means of discovering the real you, what is and isn’t important to you, breaking through the persona you manufacture for others.
Yes Pix, and what I’m focusing on is that in doing those things it’s feelings you are responding to more so than your mind. And if it is just mind then as you say it is meaningless and the real you can only be realised and stayed true to through feelings. So being “present in the now” is the same as being in your true Feeling Moment. Anything else is only a fantasy.
