 When we are calm, life flows better.
Why? Energy alignment. A tense body and stressed mind emits that energy. In doing so, we attract more of that energy. When we are calm, we attract calm. We are better able to access intuition, make aligned choices, and receive. In this brief guided meditation, Stephanie guides you back to calm. >>>Enjoy it here.  "The stream of thinking has enormous momentum that can easily drag you along with it. Every thought pretends that it matters so much. It wants to draw your attention completely." -Eckhart Tolle
What is presence and why is it important? Presence is simply being here now. Presence is giving your attention to whatever task you are engaged in at the moment. Meaning, if you are in conversation, you are focusing your attention on that. You are not talking and simultaneously thinking about past/future/your response. Presence is important because it keeps our energy unified and opens the doorway to inner stillness and ultimately empowered action. Think about it. Aren't you better able to respond when you are paying attention? If someone is speaking to you and your mind is wandering, will you give your best answer? Probably not. How do you practice presence? Like anything else you want to improve on, you must practice :) Anything that helps you be here now, with your attention focused on what you are "doing" is a practice. Meditation is one of my favorites because it teaches us how to discipline the mind. When you are able to discipline your mind, you can shift your attention away from constant thought, especially those that cause more suffering. In meditation you bring awareness back to your "mantra". Over time, you experience the gap between thoughts or periods of no thinking. In this space, you access stillness/hear your inner voice. Insights and choices arise that were once blocked when caught in endless thought. Practice being quiet, being still, and allow more space to emerge in your life. Examples: Meditate, walk silently in the woods, sit and listen to the birds. Give yourself time in between the tasks on your to-do list. If your to-do list is never ending, aim to reduce it. Get creative. Disconnect from the phone/TV while you eat. Taste your food. Allow space to emerge. You don't have to attend a silent retreat for 10 days to learn how to be present. You can do it in your daily life with anything you are doing. Set your intention to be present. It can be quite fun being around people and practicing staying present instead of getting lost in thought/emotion of the situation. See if you can simply be the witness...be the space...be present. Your presence is a gift. Want Support? >>>Book a Meditation Session  Our health and well-being is our greatest wealth. Energy is our #1 asset.
When we don't feel "good", it's hard to enjoy our life. We miss the moments. We deserve to be present for the moments in our life. Being present doesn't simply happen. Learning to be present is a lifelong practice. It's a practice that takes commitment. The effort is worth it. You are worth it. Right now, pause & check In. What do YOU need? Listen to your body, your mind, and your spirit. What has been trying to get your attention? Maybe you need to call a friend, speak your voice, make a request, get better sleep, or have some fun! As we approach the final few months of the year & the Holidays draw near... it's the perfect time to pause and make time to care for body, mind, and spirit. While it may feel like life is moving fast and we don't have "enough" time to get it all done...this is actually the best time to slow down and nourish ourselves. Take a pause. Grab a pen. Write a few sentences about how you want to end your year. Are you craving rest and renewal? Perhaps you want to experience more peace, joy, health, or community. Remember- where your attention goes your energy flows...and that is what you are creating. We are here to support you!
