The Present of Presence


Tuesday, November 17th, 2009

“When you … fall into presence … you know it instantly, feel at home instantly. And being home, you can let loose, let go, rest in your being, rest in awareness, in presence itself, in your own good company.” ~Jon Kabat-Zinn

Think back to the holidays last year. Can you recall the joy and frustrations, the peace and nourishing connections? Most people cannot.

So often we show up, but we are not really present in what we are experiencing. We dash around getting things done, but we do not pay attention to what we are doing. We eat without awareness of our hunger and fullness signals. We swallow our food without really tasting it. We push ourselves to go on when we need to rest. We interact without really connecting.

As the new year approaches, imagine experiencing the rest of the month with such exquisite awareness that the joys, frustrations, peace, and nourishing connections may easily be recalled one year later. Imagine being able to be awake to what is and fully present to each moment, despite commitments and life’s pressures.

Imagine truly tasting what there is to be tasted, seeing what there is to be seen, sharing what there is to be shared, and feeling what there is to be felt.

Imagine giving yourself and those around you the gift of presence.

Monday, November 16th, 2009

“At the center of your being you have the answer; you know who you are and you know what you want.” ~ Lao-Tzu

It’s dinnertime. Will a half cup of pasta do it for you? How about a piece of chicken the size of a deck of cards? Surely you’ll be satisfied with one “Body Watchers” or “Skinny Cuisine” frozen meal. Dessert? One cookie the size of two poker chips should be plenty!

With the “Portion Control Patrol’s” relentless focus on portion size, it’s understandable why so many of us rely on label serving sizes or diet-plan portion recommendations to know how much to eat. Bombarded with the dangers of super-sized meals, we begin to believe that on our own, we are not capable of recognizing the correct amount to eat. We begin to believe that we need to control ourselves. And we believe that portion control is the answer.

But is it?
