Presence is present with all aspects of our human experience.
There is no judgement or comparison in presence. Just being.
We don’t have to like it. For sure being human can be extraordinarily challenging at times.
And yet presence is present within the discomfort and with the dislike. Just like a loving parent to their child. There is understanding and a place for it all.
All is included.
May we learn to be that way with our vulnerable selves.
Whether we recognise a moment as grace or not, it is.
A spiritual teacher I like called Adyashanti talks about grace in the most wonderful ways in his book ’The Most Important Thing’. He explores the many different forms grace can take.. and how even the most challenging experiences we can have are a form of grace.
This moment now is grace. The presence of being is grace. Life is grace. We just need to wake up to it and come into conscious participation.
If we go into our meditation trying to change our feelings, we are already in a place of resistance and rejection with ourselves.
However when we are willing to deeply allow and be with our feelings with loving awareness, our heart can receive the message that all of our humanity is allowed, accepted and supported to move through. This heals and naturally facilitates release.
How much do you search your soul for what really matters?
The more we integrate loving connection with ourselves throughout our entire day, the more we recognise self care is our way of life.
This effortlessly overflows as a loving contribution for all those around us.
Coming into the heart space.

“Loving awareness is in everybody. Everybody is in loving awareness.” – Ram Dass.
How we think of ourselves changes over the years.
Something in us is unchanging, always present, the source of our being.
This truth of who we are, has nothing to do with thought or thinking.
We are more than any thought. We are awareness, conscious and present with or without thinking taking place.
Learn to go beyond how you conceive of yourself.
Remember to be kind. Remember to include yourself in your kindness.
Tears are healing. Joy and sorrow are intertwined. Allow yourself the full spectrum.
Allow feelings to move through and become aware of thoughts and narratives that can keep you stuck in certain emotions.
When we gain awareness we can open beyond.
