Do you remember the song, From This Moment, by Shania Twain? It's usually played at weddings to symbolize the importance of loving your partner.
I would like to look at this song title, but from a different perspective. It means to embrace this moment in the state of union that can only exist in this moment between you and your Source Energy. Your partnership with another person in your life is secondary.
From this moment, I will always love you, which means in this moment, I will embrace it in its loving essence. This moment only exists because of us, and thus, when we embrace it, we are basking in the love for ourselves and accepting who we are.
Oh, can this be perplexing because our mind can be all over the place, and it does take practice living in this moment. It's a practice that must be taken if we are truly walk in our own essence. There can be none other than this moment, and it can be hard to believe that this is all that exists right now.
Have you ever wanted to throw this moment away, and run from it? I have, and I still do. When I'm thinking about something and judging it, I'm making this moment as an enemy, and my whole being is feeling it...and off she goes in her marathon shorts :).
As Eckhart Tolle says, "We usually put this moment in one of three categories: as an enemy, as a means to an end, as an obstacle." When I read this, I could really see myself in all three. What a way to live right?
You know, as a fun coach, I teach people how to create more fun in their lives, and it is to embrace each moment and allow it to include more fun. With this said, I love having fun, and when I'm thinking about the past or the future, then it's an awareness to shift, and be fun right now by laughing, coloring, looking at clouds, sitting by the water, going for a hike, etc.
So from this moment, you embrace its loveability because it is YOU in this moment and can't be otherwise. We sure can want to run from this moment, but then we would be running from ourselves because we can't be separate from this moment. Makes sense, right?
Be kind to yourself and be "whole," not separate, so no fragments get displaced in the Universe. I would hate to see parts of you all over the place :).
