What have we lost when we’re lost in thought?

We spend most of our time thinking rather than experiencing, and this thinking is usually past or future orientated. We are either re-living the past – negatively or nostalgically, or we are projecting into the future – with anxiety or fantasy. If we do manage to be in the present, then our thoughts are either providing us with a running commentary or passing judgement on the moment. This lack of presence and awareness means that we miss most of what life has to offer – the raw texture of experience as it is.

How exciting and refreshing would it be to see, hear and feel the world without our habitual thought patterns and reactions getting in the way? To find ourselves alive, awake and crackling with creative energy in every moment? Learning to focus on the here and now by using the practice of meditation can lead to clarity and calm.
