Presence

 

Awaken to Presence

Are you present in your life?

Are you connected more to thought-stream than to life-stream?

Do you wish you were less reactive to those around you?

Are you constantly being buffeted by relentless thoughts, exhausted by the noise of your mind?

Would you like to experience life as joy?

Would you like to respond effortlessly and gracefully to life’s offerings, whatever they may be?

Do you long to experience a quiet mind and rest in your inner spaciousness?

 

 

It is my experience that the more I engage with the present moment the less I need concern myself with any problems, small or large.

In my engagement with the present, I find myself infused with Presence and this Presence – which is all that I Am – imbues every aspect of my life– so that everything finds its harmonious expression.

There is nothing for me to do. I ensure that I do not interfere and simply allow the Divine expression to unfold.

When we stop engaging with the mind, we can allow this moment to be as it is, allowing the Presence that is always here to fill us. The only place we can meet our true self is in this moment.

So join me and become present to the room you are in, to the temperature, to the sounds and the sensations that are right there with you; then fall into your heart.

With every breath fall deeper and deeper until you can feel the silence that pervades all; until you become aware of that which is listening, that alert awareness. That is you.

When you align yourself completely with this present moment, in total harmony and acceptance of all that is present with you, there is a quieting of the mind and an opening of the heart; there is aliveness and a spaciousness that is both liberating and deeply restful.

As you allow yourself the full experience of this, you will connect into an energy that is potent with power; a profound awareness that is self-aware. This aware Presence naturally brings about a restoration of all the fragmented energies within and around you, bringing all into wholeness.

This space of Presence, both empty and complete, awakens everything else to its essential nature. Everything in creation arises from love; created by love’s wielding of love to manifest a visible expression of love. Formlessness and form, All Is One.

When you are plugged into it, this Living Power of Presence inspires and invigorates. It offers you the experience of your interconnectedness with all creation.

Then, beyond even this, you will fall into the full realisation and experience that all “IS” one, and even the perceived experience of separation was part of the dream, part of the great illusion.

You are life.

Life,that bathes everything with its own effervescence.

Life, that appreciates life in all its profound beauty and power.

Life, with all its confronting challenging glory.

Life, in all its comforting sweetness.

Life, the creative and loving expression of that which is love.

Life, the essence and Presence that offers itself into every moment.

Life, the joy of being.
