Presence

What is presence?

Being fully aware, present, in every thought, action and word.


How do we practice presence?

By infusing quality into every action, thought and word; submersing into every moment with no concern for the next. No thing is more or less important then another.


How do we practice presence in action?

By fully becoming one with the action with no concern or expectation of the outcome.


How do we practice presence in thought?

By fully knowing that the mind is another sense organ, using it as a tool when memory or knowledge is needed, letting it go when it is not.


How do we practice presence in speech?

By being mindful that words are powerful tools, they can enhance life when used wisely, they can wound when not. Yet at the same time recognizing that the nature of words is their symbolic representation. It is not possible to explain the limitlessness of experience within the limits of vocabulary.



Presence is not a goal; presence is be-ing.
