Mind craves to get away from the simplicity of the present moment or awareness as it can't stand it. More you practice being in the present, mind will do all it can to take your attention away from it. Its cause present moment is its death. Here are a few structure-less practices to anchor to the now. Experiment to see which practices come most naturally and easier to you at a given moment.   Can you allow and accept the thoughts, emotions, reactions to be? Can you accept or become aware of the Now? Can you feel the aliveness or inner energy field in your body? Your hands, legs, neck, feet, chest and so on.   Can you become aware of the sensations from the sense perceptions? Your heartbeat? Your surrounding? Sensation of touch from place you are sitting? Objects around? Sounds? Can you become aware of your breath? Can you become aware of 'Awareness'? Read How to Practice 'Wheel of Awareness' Meditation and How to Stay Rooted in Being for more insight on these practices. Can you become aware of the space where thoughts, emotions, reactions, sensations, images, sounds come and go? You are that space of 'no thought.' or awareness Here's another pointer: Who is aware of the sensations or tensions in your body? Who knows or sees the unhappy emotions or unease in you? Who is aware of the thoughts or emotions that come and go? It's the ever-present I Am, the experiencer, without which there will be no experience. It's fine if you didn't, and your mind may be reacting with things like 'This article is stupid,' 'What is this?', 'I'm a loser,' 'I can't stop thinking,' 'The author is a moron,' etc. That's not you. It's your mind in its habituated resistive mode, reacting to these pointers. Don't give it reality. Just allow it to be. Your presence or awareness is more than capable of dissolving the phantom self (Ego) pretending to be you. Read How to Practice 'Wheel of Awareness' Meditation for more depth.   If something deeper in you responds to these words then the process of awakening has begun. That's why don't just read with your mind, but pay attention to any deeper feeling responses. Once you learn of the basic dysfunction i.e identification with mind then there's nothing further you need to understand before you can be free of the Ego. It's very possible that in the future the mind or pain body will take you over and push you into state of suffering, despair and unconsciousness. But remember, suffering can either push you deeper into more unconsciousness or it can become your greatest teacher to enlightenment. Be aware. Stay present. Deeply realize that suffering has a noble purpose. According to a Buddhist saying, "All suffering is illusion." It is true. The question is: Is it true for you? Are you truly fed up of pain and suffering though? Are you ready to wake up?
