do you know what it feels like to touch infinity?

You’ve probably heard about the power of presence. Just be present, they say. We are only living when we are living presently, they say… but do you truly know what it means to be present? What does it feel like to be fully, deeply present?

Presence has many layers. The deeper you go into the present moment, the richer your experience becomes. Time begins to slow. Minutes no longer slip through your fingers while you sit in a static state, reaching for tomorrow or stuck in the past.

As we get older, presence can feel harder to reach. We grow into ourselves, and our beliefs, memories, and attachments fossilize in the depths of our minds. We become accustomed to orbiting around them day after day, reinforcing them, defining who we think we are, and shaping how we see the world.

Do you remember what it felt like to be a child? To see wonder and possibility in everything? Back when waiting a week to see your friends felt like a month, and you could laugh until your stomach ached?

It wasn’t just because you were a child…it was because you were living in the now. That presence has never been lost. We only need to exercise it, like a muscle, to access it again.

I began meditating when I was around twelve. I loved the way it made my body feel like jelly, relaxing so deeply that I would lose all sensation of it altogether.

It was magical and inspiring to feel sensations I had never known before. I became fascinated by meditation and kept my practice alive. Over the years, I’ve experienced the rare joys of deepened practice.

As I grew older, I started having unusual experiences during meditation. Altered states of consciousness that completely blew my mind. I can only describe them as rapid expansions of awareness, where everything felt possible. Like touching infinity.

This sensation inspired me to read countless books, take courses, and speak with wiser, older practitioners to understand it. I now understand it as a deep, felt presence. A connection to the core of being.

Learning to navigate your mind consciously from its depths comes with many perks. When we direct our awareness at will and deepen our self-awareness, it’s like unlocking a new level of control over our lives. We can focus more, think more creatively, see things from a broader perspective, and so much more.

Through this portal of presence, meditation can transform your life. You can learn to shape your beliefs by choice, detach from old thinking patterns, and install new ones. Your intuition strengthens, your clarity expands, and the possibilities are endless.

The process of meditation is a slow burn. In the beginning, it’s not always relaxing. In fact, it can feel quite the opposite. You are often confronted with repressed worries, habitual thought patterns, and the urge to distract yourself from discomfort. Some people give up here, saying they can’t meditate because they can’t focus but this is the process.

You learn to sit with yourself first. Then you observe your thoughts without judgment, detach from them, and descend into your body. Here, you might just glimpse what it feels like to touch infinity.

The more you cultivate presence in meditation, the more it carries into your day. Even just 15 minutes a day can help you reconnect with the present moment. Begin your practice today. you won’t regret it.
