When a human is born, the emotional mind, the emotional body, is completely healthy. Maybe around three or four years of age, the first wounds in the emotional body start to appear and get infected with emotional poison. But if you observe children who are two or three years old, if you see how they behave, they are playing all the time. You see them laughing all the time. Their imagination is so powerful, and the way they dream is an adventure of exploration. When something is wrong, they react and defend themselves, but then they just let go and turn their attention to the moment again, to play again, to explore and have fun again. They are living 'in the moment.' They are not ashamed of the past; they are not worried about the future. Little children express what they feel, and they are not afraid to love. (the mastery of love)
Perhaps, we as adults, should take careful notes from observing a young child or at least sit and try to recall the adventures and safety of our own childhood. This is not to say that everyone honestly felt safe during their childhood, for reasons only you are aware of, but if you can recall laughing and playing and feeling uninhibited about life and love, go back to that time and recapture the essence and begin 'Living in the Moment' once again.
