PRACTICING BEING PRESENT IS A MOMENT TO MOMENT ACTIVITY

All humans experience pain and trauma, and when we focus our attention on what happened in the past, or focus our energy on  fearful thoughts about the future, we are not in the present moment, which can lead to chaos and conflict.

 

 When we are content, relaxed, grateful, etc. it's often because we are living in the present moment (the ideal place to be). 

When we observe ourselves and others without judgment, we experience greater peace.  When we notice how we are showing up in any given situation without judgment or condemnation, it is easier to be accountable for our behaviors,  'own our side of the fence,” and speak the truth without blame or shame.  These type of steps we take along the path of life, keep us moving from victim to victor...

 

To be an active listener requires being fully present, not distracted with our thoughts, devices, to do list, etc.  It's beneficial to know approximate amount of time the someone speaking would like our undivided attention, and our capacity to be present for that duration. When we "hold space" we are witnessing each person's journey and every conversation is held as sacred. 

 

When it seems we're trudging through the muck and mire of mind/body/spirit challenges and issues, we may just need to be heard without judgment, criticism or sarcasm, so our nervous system calms and we can more easily find our way back to peace of mind, operate whole-heartedly, and be happier and healthier.  Call now to learn how 808.938.8452
