Have you ever had someone tell you to "Come to your senses"? If you have, it's usually in quite a dismissive way. It's usually when someone thinks you are making a fuss about nothing or they think you are being a bit dramatic. Have you ever actually come to your senses? It's a very powerful thing to do. When you come to your senses, you simply come into your Present. You can only see, hear and feel what is happening right now around you. You cannot see what you saw five minutes ago or hear what you heard five minutes ago. You may have memories of those things but they are already in the past. When you are in your present, there is always a sense of space or some call it nothingness. Your thoughts are right here in this moment and not rambling off to the past and future.

Do this as an exercise now. You don't have to be in a certain place or a certain state of mind to benefit from this. You could be....driving the car, walking down the street, watching the television.. (Not all together I hope).

For a moment. Come to your senses now..... only focus on the senses you are using. Think only about what you are seeing, hearing, etc. give them all your attention. Know in your mind that this is all that is happening in your life in this moment.

Then notice the feeling in your body. Notice the stillness in your mind. This simple exercise is a fantastic way to break free of the ego centred insecure thinking that has been conditioned into our minds.
