    Right way to contemplate.

    Contemplation is about
    this very moment. It is about what “is,” and what is
    exists only in this moment. Contemplation is not
    thinking about things, pondering the past, or imagining
    an outcome.

    Contemplating in the Present

    Mind-wandering. I make myself aware of whether my mind is


    wandering in the past and the future, by asking:

    Am I thinking about this?


    Am I pondering the past?
    Am I imagining an outcome?

    Focusing on the moment. If my mind is wandering, I let go and


    redirect my attention to this very moment.

    Let go.
    Focus on the moment.

    Contemplating. I explore how the object this very moment by


    asking:

    What is this in this very moment?


    How does this appear in this very moment?
    How does this exists only in this moment?

    Presence. I focus on the object as it “is” in the moment.


    Focus on how “this” is in this very moment.
