I have learned that I can only know the truth of any situation by being quiet and curious. The mind is a constant feedback loop of the past. It doesn’t leave room for openness, wonder and listening.
Presence
The Present Moment is Safe
If you notice places of tension in your body simply ask yourself, “is this tension necessary right now?” Just a gentle curiosity. No demand for the tension to release or let go. Be patient with yourself.
Tenderness is for the Heart
The heart longs for the sweetness and sincerity of kind words, sensitive touch and merciful presence. When presence meets pain there is something magical and transformative that happens.
Simple Aware Being
Our true nature doesn’t argue with reality; it simply allows things to be as they are or in other words it is one with the way things are not in opposition with the way things are.
Be Here and Receive
Being present will allow you to rest in the stillness that is here and available to you in every moment. It is calling to you. It’s time to let go of control. Simply be here and receive.

Coming to Rest
Restful presence is a practice that allows us to know that peace is here irregardless of what else is going on in our experience.
