Living in the Present Moment – How to Live in the Present Moment?

Part of my Kundalini and Enlightenment guide · Teachings by Guru Sanju

The Essence of the Present Moment

The present moment is your energetic reality. You are the source of energy that exists here and now. When you rest in this energy—this pure awareness—you are living in the present. The present moment is not just a fleeting experience of time; it is the very source of your existential reality.

Behind your human body, you are the consciousness which is ever-present, infinite awareness. You are the eternal witness, the observer, the pure awareness standing silently behind everything you perceive in this world.

This presence is your true power and the deepest freedom of your existential reality. It is eternal, untouched, and luminous. When you come home to this presence, you feel peaceful. You feel joy. You feel love. You recognize who you really are.

Living in the present moment is the ultimate freedom a human being can enjoy.

Escaping the Mind’s Illusion

When you are not in this presence, you are pulled into the mind. The mind lives either in the past or the future—never in the now. It is a tool, an instrument given to you so you can function in the world. But you are meant to be the master, and the mind, the servant.

When you identify with the mind, you become trapped in memories, regrets, expectations, and anxieties. You drift away from the luminous now. But when you return to the present moment, you reconnect with the existential life force that animates you.

In that state, you feel like the happiest person alive, because most of the world is caught in the prison of the mind. Living in the present moment is light itself, yet it requires inner work.

If your energies are blocked—too heavily accumulated in the mind—you cannot live in the present. However much you try, the mind will keep dragging you back to the past or forward into the future. That is simply its nature.

Three Paths to the Present

There are three ways to learn the art of living in the present moment:

1. Through Effort and Practice
2. Through the Kundalini Journey
3. Through the combination of both

The Way of Kundalini

If you are going through a Kundalini awakening, a moment will come when the Kundalini completes its journey. In that instant, she installs you completely in the present. You are launched into the here and now. The grip of the past dissolves, and the burden of accumulated memories falls away.

The Way of Practice

If you are not going through the Kundalini journey, you can still cultivate presence. Like every other skill, the art of living in the present can be learned. It requires practice, discipline, and a willingness to direct your full attention toward consciousness.

It will not be easy in the beginning, because the mind does not want to die. The ego resists dissolution. Yet every spiritual practice across cultures and traditions is oriented toward the same goal—remaining in the present moment.

Deep within, all human beings are driven by the same longing: to rest in the eternal present.

The Benefits of Presence

The benefits of living in the present are immense. You are freed from the sufferings caused by your restless mind.

When you remain in the present moment, you act with clarity. Your life unfolds in the now, and your energy is not wasted in regrets of the past or fantasies of the future. The truth of your existence is always now. After this now, another now comes. If you miss the present moment, it is gone forever.

You can experience this only when you are free from thoughts and the limitations of the mind.

Living the Present in All Dimensions of Life

Living in the present moment allows you to transform every dimension of your life:

• Health: You can focus on your body and its healing needs. Presence gives you clarity to address imbalances and free yourself from disease.
• Career and Wealth: Productivity increases only when you act in the present with your full attention and energy. Without presence, you cannot create sustainable success.
• Relationships: With health and wealth in balance, you take care of yourself independently and build meaningful connections. Whether personal or professional, relationships blossom when lived in the now.

As you live in the present, you feel abundant, powerful, and free. You begin receiving insights and intuitions about your life. Your inner energy guides you from moment to moment.

Clearing the Hurdles to Presence

Every human being carries emotional turmoils, disturbing energies, and dense residues of the past. Beliefs, conditioning, and ego formations keep pulling you away from the present.

Whenever you try to focus, the mind resurfaces with data and warnings, attempting to prevent you from taking risks. This is how the ego protects its existence. Yet as a human being, you are an explorer—born to discover possibilities both within and without.

Only by remaining in the present can you explore fully. Life in this physical realm is limited. You have only a span of years on this earth. During this time, you must make the best use of your resources—your time, your money, and your energy—all of which are gifts from existence.

The Personal Power of Presence

When you begin living from presence—right here, right now—you awaken to your personal power.

The art of living in the present is a boon. It is power itself. Once learned, it cannot be unlearned. The joy is so immense that you never wish to return to the prison of past and future.

You become the driver of your own vehicle. Imagine driving a Lamborghini with full control—you choose the destination, the speed, and the path. In the same way, you shape your relationships, your work, and your experiences consciously.

This is personal power. Your own energy will guide you toward it when you allow yourself to be rooted in presence.

Coaching and Guidance

I can teach you, guide you, and coach you in this art of presence. Through one-to-one coaching, I can help you clear blocked energies and shift into the permanent state of presence. Together, we can move you from low energies of the mind to the higher energies of consciousness.

You are already the infinite source of energy. You only need to awaken to it.

Final Words

The present moment is not something you reach tomorrow—it is here, now, this very breath. It is the eternal ground of your being.

Living in the present is not about excluding or including anything—it is about awakening to what already is. Once you discover it, your life transforms: health improves, wealth grows, relationships deepen, intuition sharpens, and inner freedom flowers.

Stay here. Stay now. Be aware, be present, and live as the infinite source of energy which you truly are.

Thank you.
