Awareness in the Moment

I am experiencing my thoughts and emotions as little children. The mother is my True Self, Soul, The Watcher, Awareness. The more The Watcher is present in the moment, then the children don't run amuk! When I began practicing being aware of the children, they would be like they had always been, trying to be in charge and it has taken practice to just observe them, to not BE them, but to acknowledge their antics and let them know that Awareness is present Now. It was a very conscious effort in the beginning, but now it is becoming a automatic response to their behaviors.

Yesterday I was at the post office on one of the busiest days of the year here...Tax Day. I had some packages to mail out and stood in line for about an hour. While waiting, I could observe those around me from a different perspective. Knowing that in each of them was also their Watcher, whether they were aware of it or not. And then I could see all these beautifully patient Souls present watching each individual that they were living in. So no matter what seemed to be going on, it was just pure awareness in the moment. They were all so beautiful and perfect. It was like a Soul gathering, lol!

Then, it was finally my turn and I laid my packages on the counter and immediately was asked if I had filled out a "customs" form. Of course, I had not, so I was given one and asked to fill it out and then come back. It had very small writing on it and I had not brought my reading glasses. So, I did my best and when it was my turn again, the next postal worker I got said I had not finished filling it out. I explained that I could not read the smallest writing and could he tell me what it said? Immediately, he became very loud, where everyone could hear and began asking if I had brought my car key's with me? I asked him what did he mean? Why was he asking? He asked me if I drove here? I asked why? And very loudly began telling me that he wanted to warn all his customers that there was someone driving here that could not see. Oh, I could feel the little kid of Emotions and the little kid of Thinking getting very anxious to act out. Because I had been practicing being Aware, in the Moment, My Watcher kicked in. I could feel her putting her arms around the kids, and she took over. I looked him in the eyes and quietly said, "I only use reading glasses for very small print". I felt very calm and could see that he was having a bad day and when I was looking into his eyes, I was looking at his Awareness, though he was not aware ;) Albeit, reluctantly, he began to speak in a normal tone and helped me finish the form.

That was a great experience for me to learn in a real life situation, face to face, I could connect my Awareness to another person's Awareness, even if they were not aware in the moment. It was quite liberating from old behaviors and in a way, I felt that when even one person is in Awareness, it can help assist others to have a moment of peace.

I hope that my blogging about journeying in the Now might help anyone out there that believes they are what they Think or Feel, and are not finding joy in their life. Being Present, The Presence, in the moment of Now is freeing from these internal dialogs. They are wonderful gifts/tools for this life, but they are not the big Kahuna. That belongs to our Soul, Awareness, The Watcher. Watch your children, love them, but let them know they do have a parent that will keep them in line!

Thanks for stopping by and reading. I am experiencing this wonderful change of view because of you. Love, always, Rhea
