Last updated over 1 year ago. What is this?

The 'present moment,' as viewed through the contemplative lens of Rob Burbea, is not merely a fleeting point in time but a rich and multidimensional experience encompassing both the tangible and intangible realms of our existence. It is the dynamic interplay of awareness and phenomena where the fullness of now is vividly perceived in its immediacy, free from the constructs of past and future. This ephemeral instance holds an infinity within it—an ever-changing tapestry of sensory experiences, thoughts, and emotions, all imbued with profound potential. In this sacred space, one can glimpse the boundless nature of presence, a fertile ground for deep insight and genuine transformation, where the ordinary transcends into the extraordinary through the mindful embrace of what is.
