Being in the Moment
When you receive a message from your angels, it can sometimes be channeled through the reactions of babies or animals. In admiring their joyous faces, you can sometimes tell when something is amiss, or when excitement is upon them. Mostly, their reaction is to do with the one moment in time that they are familiar with – the present.
Angels want us to enjoy our lives, and sometimes they like to nudge that reminder our way when we feel caught up in what has been, or what is to come. This is where we have to pick ourselves up and fight the push and pull of our memories or anticipation so that we can relax and let it all happen naturally, like babies and animals do.
Children and animals have a gift for living in the moment. They are too young, or not equipped to dwell on the past or allow the sometimes-frantic future to be assumed. They spend each moment living it to the full, expecting nothing and enjoying everything. This is an incredibly magical way to live, because you are not tied to the emotions of what have been or what is to come.
This is why children and animals sleep so well. They fall asleep to the sound of the present and worry about nothing. This is something we could all take into consideration as stress and anxiety can leak into our lives and ruin the moments we were meant to enjoy.
How do you feel when you see a baby or animal react with such presence? It is a joy to watch, because there is no pressure to feel or be a certain way based on the past or what they anticipate. Your angels offer that as a gift for you, and the sight alone gets those who witness it thinking about how they can become more mindful and love each moment for what it is. This is one thing we need to train to do, and as something that used to come so naturally to us when we ourselves were babies – is hard, but very possible.
The magic of being in the moment is to avoid all else. Pay attention to only what you are thinking and feeling, and keeping that on track as your day goes by. By the end of it, you will notice a lighter mind when you drift off to sleep, and less worry as to what the day ahead holds for you.
When you apply this to your own routine, you will find that habits may change and attitudes can alter. That paves the way for promising moments of love and true connections, just like how your angels want to connect with you.
Babies and animals live mindfully because they are not taught to look back at last week, or worry about what is to come. The sights and sounds they hear or see are all that matter, and giving thought to any other moment in time is just not plausible. For you to adhere to that type of living is to step away from the sound and hustle and bustle that you have sat in for a long time. Offer your heart to the beat it beats, rather than the beats to come. To give your past a hug and release it behind you. To know what will be, will be. These are extremely powerful thoughts that your angels want you to live by.
Seek to always think about what is happening right now. How do you feel, what do you see and what is occurring around you? Prize yourself away from all expectations you have placed upon yourself and see everything through the eyes of a mindful child or animal. Their innocence is really something to behold, as their teachings offer what your angels want you to see and feel for yourself.
Enjoy the peace and quiet of the moment, and consider it a gift from your angels. They are watching over you all the time and know you need to reflect wisely. They have every ounce of faith in you as you apply a mindful value to your life, and will support you as this grows.
