The Godly spiritual and integral psychology explains the importance of being aware of the present moment and the benefits of this awareness in the healing process. The true connection with the inner world of our soul starts with becoming aware of the present moment. We are used to the wrong habits of being stressed, overwhelmed by responsibilities, tired or bored, most often we are disconnected from the feeling of being alive and from life itself. We are caught in the spinning wheel of our thoughts and emotions. The thought generates an emotion, the emotion generates another thought which again actives an emotion from some memory or maybe a worry about the future. We are always captive and oscillating between past and future and most often forget about the present moment, this Here and Now which is true life and true joy of being alive. Only when we are centred in the present moment we can get out of this box made up of the though-emotion loop which keeps us worried, fearful and stuck in the past. Within the present moment, the consciousness allows us to live the experience of now, the consciousness accepts it without opposing it. Thus our inner world becomes a space where we can truly recognise our Godly essence. Only in the present moment our mind stops and we can become aware that our true Self is the Godly essence Self. Only within the present moment all our projections about ourselves and about others disappear.
In one of my psychotherapy sessions, at the end of an exercise, the patient has told me that only within the present moment you can truly relax and feel relaxed. It is important to start becoming aware of the value of the present moment and to add it to our list of the most important things we have to do in life. Our relationship with God is lived consciously within the present moment, within an alive flux of energy and information. Our entire being is then an alive channel, always connected to the source which is the Godly essence, a two-way channel through which God gifts to others and from others gifts go back to God. When we forget or we refuse to live fully aware of the present moment, we actually shut down this flow of energy and information, this manifestation of the state of an alive channel. Authentic spiritual traditions offer us practices to stay in the present moment and to experience the state of a Godly alive channel. When we notice synchronicities, this is a proof that we have accepted to become a Godly alive channel. Thus the present moment opens up our soul towards the true meaning of our life, towards the reveal of our Godly essence, the Self, Atman.
