We Only Have This Present Moment
by Rev. Corky Whitacre, CCHt
The past and the future - exist only in our mind, because it is not actually happening now. For all intents and purposes, the future is simply an imagery fantasy made up of past memories, likely outcomes, and fanticies. The past can feel very real because we "remember" doing it. It is made up from what we "know", it can be VERY scary and feel absolutely real. The past is also processed through our imaginative faculties. The only true reality is right here, right now. So, immerse yourself in it..if you have the time.
I'm a hypnotherapist and I'd like to tell you about this one client who was a Deacon in his church and as such was suppose to speak during the service. He was so afraid of speaking in public that he'd get too ill to perform his duties.
We did a past life regression and found that in several past lives he'd been a scoundrel and a thief. He'd always get caught and was either beheaded or hanged in front of a huge crowd...best show in town.
The therapy part was reminding him that was in the past, that would not happen now, he was not any of those people. In this life he was a good, law abiding person and bringing those memories back into this life was totally disruptive and working against his hightest good and heart's desire. So, whatever you are afraid of, if it isn't in the present moment then you can release it and focus on "right now".
REMEMBER: You only have the present moment.
REMEMBER: You only NEED this present moment.
