Most important moment

PRESENTThere are countless approaches to living our lives. It is safe to say that most people are in a constant process of refining their approach. They try different things to feel more alive and engaged in their lives. There are many systems and methods; on this podcast, we have been exploring a non-dogmatic, contemporary approach to the teachings in the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali for several years. The goal is always the same: to improve the quality of our participation in the moment we are in, right here and now. One motivation that can be useful is to recognize some simple facts.  First, there is only one chance to be in this moment. This moment will not be repeated, and it will not happen again. If that is not motivation enough, would it help to remember the second fact? That this moment is the most important moment of our lives. Everything in our lives (including successes, boring moments, challenges, and failures) has brought us to this moment. Moreover, the actions we take in this moment will influence how the rest of our lives will unfold. The third fact is that this moment is the result of the elegant synchronicity of thousands of events that make this moment to be exactly as it is. The fourth fact is that each moment is a gift, new, unique, offering us many choices. Each one of us decides how we want to participate.In today's practice is I invite you to ask yourself, "Is this the most important moment of my life?"Practice whenever you can.
