Getting an Experiential Taste of “Who You Truly Are”

Picture
The presence of who we are is timeless. It has always been the same for as long as we can remember. Just reflecting for a few moments can lead to gaining an experiential understanding of this space. To recognize the inner space of presence we simply tune into the sense perception of what it feels like to be ourselves. Just feel the essence of yourself. Drop below the mind’s chatter and feel who you are. It is that easy. In fact it is so simple many quickly start looking for something beyond what is here right now. This is what keeps many on the wheel of seeking. Just take a few moments to breathe into the heart space in order to relax into your sense of being. Just feel you. It may help to close your eyes for the next part. As you are relaxing into the heart space feeling what it feels like to be you, observe whether this essence of yourself is male or female. Is it large or small? What color is it? Have you ever known a time when you did not know this feeling? Now, allow your attention to rest in the space of the heart a little deeper, feeling the core of yourself that lets you know that you indeed exist. Without words or following the thoughts of the mind, just feel what you are experiencing. The space of who you truly are is formless; it is beyond the limits of your body. This space is ageless and indescribable. Yet, it is how you know that you are alive. We all know this space. It is the same sense of ourselves, without the thinking mind defining us as male or female, young or old. This space is beyond self-definitions. It is here Now. This is our true nature, our connection to the Divine. Touching Presence by means of following the breath or focusing on the space of the heart can be experienced always. Awakening is discovering that we and everything else is arising in this Presence. We are this Presence. We are That.
