Comment on Nothing more Valuable than Presence by Bob

So many of us wish we could “turn it off.” The teachers I follow suggest – don’t try turning it off, try noticing and letting go. Practice focusing your attention on something – be it your breath or whatever you are doing in the moment. When thoughts of the future come to mind, just say to yourself, “Ah, future” and go back to focusing on what’s now. Same with “Ah – past.” Or you could simplify it further with, “Ah – thinking.”

It’s called “practice” for a reason. It takes time to create a new habit. And support can be helpful. Consider connecting with a meditation teacher in person or over the phone / skype for regular sessions. Often once a month is helpful for people. Best, Bob

so true but I find it difficult to be “present” too busy thinking. My brain is distracting hehe. At 51 both the past and the future occupy my head. I wish i could turn it off.

Dear Bob ~

It’s such a pleasure to meet you here on your website. You have a glow that shines through your photo! A friend referred me to you and I see that we are walking very similar paths. If you’re ever in the Cleveland/Akron area (heck, even if it’s Columbus) I’d love to catch up with you and share a cup of coffee or a meal ~ I have a feeling that we would discover a kindred spirit between us.

Regardless of whether we ever meet in person, thank you for this beautiful website and all the gorgeous work you do.

Namaste,
Maia

Hi Bob:
This is Tom Stuart. I saw you listed on the Spirit Journeys web site. Do you remember me? We were in the Sign Language class together at the Philadelphia School for the Deaf in 1998 or so.
My partner, Brian, and I are still together and are living in East Hampton, NY, where I am originally from.
Congratulations on all that you’ve done since then. If you have a minute, drop me a line.
Tom
