Being In Present Time
By Sherry Kirschner

The concept of being in the present has been a subject in various teachings for a long time. It’s had several names like “the here and now,” “present time,” “being in the now,” and other similar ones. Some people might have difficulty understanding the concept on a deeper level than just the intellectual. An experience I had recently perhaps can help explain it a bit better.

I was at a client’s place of business, working, when I experienced a rush of thoughts going through my head. One in particular was the face of one of the members of the Association whose place of business I was working at. Just as I was experiencing this, a co-worker blurted out, “Hi, I was just thinking about you!” to a woman who had just entered the building. Standing in front of the counter was the woman whose face had just passed through my thoughts.

Needless to say this was an opportunity to share energy awareness with my colleagues. After the woman left, I said, “You know, you just had a psychic experience.” I related to them that I had experienced the same thought and explained a little about how we get ahead of ourselves as spirit and arrive places before our physical body actually does. They were attentive but I could see that a realization wasn’t really happening although they did understand what I was saying intellectually. But a few weeks later when I arrived at work, one co-worker said, “I was just wondering when you were coming in and when I looked out the window, I saw you arrive! I remembered what you said about that.” She was pleased because she experienced a realization and it had opened her awareness.

There is no time or space on the energy level so as spirit we can be anywhere in mind at any given time. On the other hand, our bodies can only be in present time because gravity sees to that by keeping our bodies firmly on earth. As spirit when we stay with our body and with whatever it is doing at the time, we can be more efficient at our jobs, communicate more effectively with others, be more productive in our everyday activities and have a more fulfilling experience with life. When we “space out,” so to speak, or “leave our body,” we can become scattered, ungrounded, perhaps stumble while walking, or even get dizzy or sick to our stomachs.

There are so many extenuating circumstances and distractions that pull us away from being present with our bodies. But there are some really good energy tools and techniques as well as clairvoyant readings available that can aid us in keeping our communication with our bodies stabilized. You can find these alternatives at the Spiritual Rights Foundation. Call and ask for a body-being communication reading. You and your body will love it!
