Question: Being in the present moment to moment is not easy ... I pray ...meditate...and believe that the universe supports me...but when I’m angry my mind will not stop going to past and future...I know better ...please tell me how you give your problems up to the universe to solve and stay peaceful please....help me with this.... Answer: rnBeing in the present is being in your Higher Self, the silent witness. It is a state of consciousness, not an attitude or a perspective you can will yourself into with prayer or positive thinking. rnThe most efficient way to cultivate self-awareness is through meditation. As you meditate, over time your consciousness becomes awake within itself. This silent witness within saturates and illuminates the mind so that it does not look to the past or the future for fulfillment. It experiences peace and freedom within itself in every moment. rnLove,rnDeepak
