Presence, Peace, Love

Excerpt from The Love Book A Psychic's Story 

​During Love Month we create loving habits to assist us through out our days. As we create loving habits, discovering our worth, self love, compassion and more, we discard old habits that keep us out of presence.  

I deserve your full attention and you deserve mine. When you are present there is no past or future, just the moment reminding you to make your life momentous. Your life is precious, honor the moment through presence. 

When you practice presence, you are aware, attentive, considerate, understanding, calm. You will not miss anything happening in your life. You have the ability to make shifts and changes in your life that resonate with you, to fulfill you. You are responsive, not reactive, when you are present. Presence isn’t about being calm all the time. You can be present while feeling sad, excited, nervous, or joyful. You feel more connected to yourself and others. 

When you are present, utilizing your intuitive gifts is easier. Your mind is clear of the judgement flowing through your thoughts. Time to let go of that judgement, be discerning. Discernment is wisdom, clarity, intuitive and presence. 

Presence can feel uncomfortable as it removes the filters, we normally use to avoid feeling emotions, making decisions for our highest good. When you are truly present, there is nowhere to hide, that can be unsettling at first. You are feeling each moment.

When you are present, there are no distractions. Distraction keeps emotions at a distance. Presence brings emotion into awareness, grief, fear, restlessness, loneliness etc. None of these are caused by presence. Presence reveals what is already there. What we can release with time, patience, and love.

When you are present the ego loses control. The thinking mind (ego) survives by replaying the past, anticipating the future, labeling, and judging.  The mind can feel threatened, bored, anxious, unimportant while creating the habit of presence. 

For many people, stillness is not historically safe. Being quiet or fully in the body may have once meant, emotional overwhelm. 

Presence exists only in the now, now is alive, changing and unknowable. The mind prefers certainty. Presence offers truth without guarantees, instead you learn how to be flexible and creative with problem solving.  

Mantra – In this moment I am safe.

Here is a simple exercise you can do in order to center, ground, and obtain clarity.

Take a deep breath.  Breathe in your favorite color and start to fill yourself with the color.  Start with your toes.  Keep filling your physical body with the color until you are full. When you can see, the color coming out of the ends of your hair and the pores of your skin, you’re present.

Think about how you feel. 
Are you warmer? 
Are you happier?  
Are you calmer? 
Do you feel better?  
It always feels good to be fully present.

Practice this meditation every day and any time you are not feeling present.  This meditation will help you feel grounded and centered.  

When you are present in your life you have the ability to make decisions that truly resonate with you. When you are present there is less anxiety, stress, frustration. Presence brings you right now, there is no past or future to influence your mind or your heart while enjoying your life. You face truth in your heart and mind. You will feel that inner peace that resides within you. 

Presence. 

Presence is the first step on your love journey. 

Be present in your life, love yourself, you are worthy of your own attention.

I am going to talk about my experience with the Venerable Monks that are walking for peace. I did not take pictures or video during the visitation. I felt the visitation warranted my presence. Being in their presence has made a huge shift within me. If you have the ability to see them for visitation, do it. If you can’t, click here. Being there was amazing. Get your tissues ready, I will probably cry while I talk about it. It was very moving and the energy was awesome! I am very grateful for the experience.

While the Venerable Monks walked across North Carolina, North Carolina showed up. I am so grateful to call this state home. The people here are the greatest! They are a community. I am grateful! 

I had to go to High Point to see the Monks for Visitation. It was at the Trust stadium. Anticipation ran through the stadium, it was cold. For those of you who know me personally, know I don’t like being cold. I had to dig out my Chicago clothes for this visit. I felt inspired from my spirit guides and angels to go.  

As the stadium filled I heard people saying they had traveled hours for this visitation. 

I felt the energy of the Monks before they walked into the stadium. As they entered, everyone settled down, before the Venerable Monk spoke, the stadium was quiet. The energy in the stadium was beautiful and still. 

                                                   Today is my Peaceful Day!

That is the mantra the Venerable Monks are spreading. The Venerable Monks are walking for peace, inner peace and presence.  He spoke about getting rid of distractions in our lives. Paying attention to our lives, whats going on within ourselves and our environment. It is a message I needed to hear, feel, be.  His message, be present, be peaceful. 

While the Veritable Monk spoke, I realized I was crying, quiet, joyous tears. I am grateful. 

The Venerable Monks are a living example for us to be present, feel the moment, treasure the moment, be the moment.  Through  this we find peace.  Through peace we are centered, grounded and connected to Source.  There are no distractions, only peace. 

I am transformed, present, calm and peaceful.

Today is my peaceful day! 

Have a beautiful week! Stay safe! Be Present!
Keep your heart open and aligned with the energy of LOVE!
