Pinch yourself.

Do you feel it?

What about now?

Do you ever just stop to take everything in? Do you ever just stop to check that you’re in the moment? Do you ever find yourself fully aware of the situation and wanting to make the most of it?

You should. With all that’s going on it’s easy to get caught up in a different reality to the one going on in front of our eyes.

Now is the most important thing we have. It’s our everything. And it needs to be treated as such.

That’s why meditation and Yamabushi training is so powerful. Everything is designed around putting you in the moment, the most important thing there is.

And if you practice being in the moment, all it takes is a metaphorical pinch to get there. That’s all it takes to be able to make the most of a moment.
