HE CORE PREMISE IS SIMPLE AND STRAIGHTFORWARD: “WITH SUFFICIENT PRACTISE, YOU CAN CHANGE YOUR INTERNAL STATE AT WILL”.
First, what is Presence?
Presence is an internal, energetic state. It arises from knowing who you are, and being secure and confident in who you are. It is intangible because it is more about ‘being’ than ‘doing’. The key is to remain authentic at all times, even when you are vulnerable or under stress.
Occasionally, life bowls you a googly. It spins you around and pulls you in different directions. You feel ‘stuck’ and find it hard to change. At such times, Presence can be your anchor and your refuge. We define Presence as: A state of conscious flow where one experiences balance, completeness, and contentment – both internally and vis-à-vis the larger systems of which one is a part. The Presence Practice helps you access this state
The 3 main steps in the Presence Practice are:
1. Relaxing the body: The foundation
2. Going deeper: The 5 signals
· Even Breath
· Clear, calm, quiet mind
· Open heart
· Sensitive Sonar
· Energetic Induction
3. Embedding the state: The affirmations
Benefits of doing the Presence Practice regularly
1. Physical: ‘Stressful’ becomes ‘Restful’
· Body feels relaxed and settled
· Brain-waves change and become more coherent
· Sense-organs sharpen; keen awareness of your environment
· Stress hormones (adrenaline & cortisol) reduce; Feel-good hormones (endorphins: dopamine, serotonin, norepinephrine and oxytocin) increase
· Immunity improves; healing accelerates
2. Emotional: Shift in ‘Affect’
· Feel calm, centered and balanced, even in chaos
· Reactive emotions (Anger, Fatigue, Fear, Anxiety) decrease
. Positive emotions (Happiness, Confidence, Inspiration, Courage) increase
· Genuine acceptance of all possibilities and outcomes – good and bad
3. Mental: Values & Motivations Alter
· Ego needs (Self-interest, Protecting reputation, Need to control) weaken.
. Ethical needs (Wisdom, Unity, Doing the ‘right’ thing) strengthen.
· You can ‘see’ clearly, ‘sense’ intuitively and ‘act’ responsibly
· Reframe the crisis and turn it into a personal growth opportunity
4. Relational: Priorities Change from ‘I’ to ‘We’
· Care, compassion, inclusion and harmony become more important
· Higher commitment to ‘selfless service’ towards larger community issues and causes
· You are able to ‘induct’ others into your energy field (aura)
5. Spiritual: Establish a deeper connection with your ‘Self’
· Access your Deeper/ Higher Self and stay in conscious and consistent contact with it
· Use the deeper resources to make “meaning in your suffering” & discover your Higher Purpose
· Bring your highest resources to bear upon your healing
