Being in the Here and Now & Insomnia Help

In the Here And Now
One of my ‘blogging intentions” is to write about whatever is on my mind RIGHT NOW, today, here...referred to as “staying in the present’. It’s what ancient wisdom traditions say is one of the necessary conditions for good health and being a balanced energetic Being. Also, to become more concise (but am not there yet!) So here it is: As I look out the window




I’m noticing a peaceful feeling in my body; I smile softly. Breathing slows, muscles in my shoulders relax as I witness winter snow dispersing into the air as it falls off dark tree branches waving in the wind.
      I have a thought about how they appear thick and solid, yet majestic and graceful in these movements, and I’m aware that the slow rhythm is comforting to me, and my breathing adjusts to an even deeper relaxed level. As I gaze at the woods, I see open spaces created by leaves that have fallen months ago, spaces that were not there compared to summer; I sense a certain spaciousness in my body, too.  I feel my ribcage moving as I breathe, and experience a vibrating, humming resonance throughout my body that seems to reverberate with this scene of nature;
I am with the entirety of All That Is. Nice.

Beauty inside, same as beauty outside.
