Being in the body is having the consciousness awareness of what is happening in and around ourselves, without judgment. The path to come into the body is through the body sensations, the breath. Pills, drugs, living in the head, dissociating fear…, circumstances that separates us from the body, that prevent us from feelings.

The energetic connection with the ground allows us to build the foundation that facilitates being present in the body. As with trees, the roots are hidden in the soil, sometimes, much deeper than the part of the tree that is seen. Deep, grounded roots help us live more fully in our bodies.

Living the present moment is being 100% body, mind and spirit, able to focus attention where and how desired. If we live energetically attached to previous experiences, we live in the past. And if we think about tomorrow’s tasks, we live in the future. Today is right here and now.
