The state of being ‘present'

MYTH 1: You must quiet your mind

It is quite the opposite. To open yourself up to what the present moment can offer, you do not need your mind to go silent. You need to increase your awareness of your surroundings and how you are experiencing them. Recognise the signals—smell, sound, taste, sight, or feeling— that your senses are sending to your brain. By simply bringing those sensations into sharper focus, a feeling of presence will start to emerge. This is the key to developing the sensitivity and the skill to stay present in every moment. As you enter a state of presence, hidden sights, sounds, and feelings begin to emerge. There may be new revelations, or recognition of things that you had forgotten.

MYTH 2: Being present means having a single focus
