Is the child's preoccupation
The kitten sees nothing other than what she is stalking
Nothing else exists
Just this moment now
Total absorption helps so much
Immerse yourself
Meditate
Fix your attention
In a funny way it is very relaxing to be totally focused
Might make us tired but relaxes us too
Then one day you might discover that the opposite can give similar benefits
Totally letting go that is
No thoughts
Just spaced out
Most cannot stop thoughts for more than a few seconds at a time
Constant mind interference, thoughts, thoughts and then more thoughts
On and on without let up
So it goes
Break the pattern take an itunes an mp3 chill to your favourite music
A junior first step to peace, peace of mind that is
Your favourite music allows you to relax
Stills the mind
Calms you down
Let the music sooth you
One day find a nice place in nature
No music just you and nature
Let the noises around you sooth
Let them take the place of your music
Keep going until you succeed
Succeed in finding no thoughts
A space with no thoughts
Just what we call peace of mind
Then take this skill with you onto the metro, bus or train and plane
Letting your mind still
Learning to be
Just be
No music, no involvement in anything around you
Just letting go
If you can do this then you are well on your way to finding how to attain real peace of mind
Peace of mind results in less wear and tear over a lifetime
Learning like the kitten or child to be only in this moment now
Nothing else is real anyway
The future is not here yet
And the past is just that gone finished
Only the pre - sent is real this moment now
