Ground of Being

“I’m one of my sensations.”

Grounding Into the Obvious

To ground into our being is the most basic choice we can make. While it is a choice, it is not an act of will exactly. Grounding into our being is akin to relaxing, to letting go, a not-doing. Our being is one of the most obvious aspects of our experience and it holds a powerful key to navigating life. When we are grounded in our being, we are in touch with the simple silence of the mountain.

Perceiving from this ground, we can see life in the most simple, obvious, and practical of terms. Taking action from this ground is to answer the question, “what is the next most obvious thing to do?” While our long-term and grand designs may require complex and manifold to-do lists branching out through time, in the moment of being, we are only ever able to take the next step.
