Living in the Present Moment

Practical Spirituality

In this episode of the Practical Spirituality Podcast, Gareth and Kim dive into the often misunderstood concept of living in the present. They challenge the idea that being present requires detaching from, or ignoring, all thought of the past and future. Instead, they redefine being present as an active practice of connecting with the mind, body, emotions, and soul, rather than simply avoiding distraction.
The hosts explore how unresolved emotional wounds can disrupt peace in the present, shaping coping mechanisms that lead to daily unease. By reframing the mind as an ally, they encourage listeners to build a compassionate relationship with their thoughts, trace their roots, and ease anxiety about the future. By exploring within, we can foster self-acceptance and, over time, develop a more harmonious inner life.
They also bridge science and spirituality, highlighting the neurobiology of addiction and how it influences our experience of being in the present moment. This perspective shows how thoughts and emotions can become tools for growth rather than barriers to growth. With a focus on compassion, intentional practice, and supportive resources, Gareth and Kim offer practical guidance for transforming struggle into healing and fulfillment, paving the way for a more peaceful, balanced life.
