I suggest that “right where you are”, in the context of whatever message or lesson we might receive, is not about being in the present moment so much as recognizing our psychological state of being and the ways we try to cope with that. We are constantly being triggered by events and behaviors that resonate with the memories of our emotional traumas. We prefer to keep these buried, but it’s really not possible. We keep getting messages that remind us of the unresolved issues that inhabit our unconscious mind. Until and unless we recognize and embrace these, we’ll keep getting those messages, louder and louder each time! We don’t have to go looking for them. They know exactly where to find us!
