Be aware, fully aware. Train your mind to drop into the present moment at will. Whatever comes, please do not grasp or follow it. Let it flow through without clinging or attaching. This goes for thoughts, feelings, emotions, perceptions, bodily sensations, or anything coming your way. Stay wide open without grasping. Allow visual objects, sounds, smells, tastes, tactile sensations, and thoughts without blocking. But do not stick on them, rather allow them to flow through you. Remain relaxed while maintaining alertness. This balance is important, relaxed while alert. In this way you can access more subtle joyous minds of unconditional love and wisdom.
