Imagine being able to look back at your life and say, “I was present for all of it.” I don’t know about you but I desire to be able to genuinely say that. 

Being present has been my main mental, physical and spiritual practice for the past year now and, as time passes, I continue to expand my conscious awareness as to why being present is so powerful. I have truly come to fully believe that being present is the best thing we can be. 

It is in the present moment where we are our most powerful - not just because when we are present we take our power back from the past and familiar future but also because when we are present, we are in a state of flow and in a state of receptivity. We become open and receptive to divine intelligence, divine guidance and divine inspiration. 

Being present is a practice. And it is so worth the practice. In this episode, I share with you some of my reflections and realizations that have come from my practice of being present. My intention is to have you walk away from listening to this episode feeling greater clarity, confidence, and comfort regarding being here, now. 

Other topics I touch on include:

  • one of my most sobering, awakening realizations
  • what "familiar future" means
  • being in survival mode
  • what "giving our power away" means
  • why being present is a practice
  • why we already know how to be present
