Where is the presence in your life?

Have you got enough presence in your life? Do you need more? Let’s take a few minutes to talk about what presence is, what it gives you, and how you can gain more presence in your life.

So what is presence? We can learn so much just by looking at the word. It comes from the Latin “praeesse,” Prae meaning before and Esse meaning to be. Therefore, it means “before being.” When we think of ourselves as being, we think of a physical presence, our sensory input, all the parts that tell us we exist. So what is this essence pre-existence?

We are a child of the universe. Each mote of energy that makes up every atom of our physical form has existed as part of the universe since the dawn of time. When we come into existence, we are a piece of that universe molded into us. As a small part of the universe, we are insignificant, yet at the same time, we form the universe, so we are everything. In the realm of being everything and being almost nothing, there, we are present.

So what do we gain from being present in that transitory stage of All or Nothing? The Triad of life in every living thing is physical, mental, and spiritual. When we stop and sit, we turn off the unnecessary physical. When we empty our minds through meditation or just zoning out, we turn off the mental noise. Rarely do we find ourselves in this state, yet when we are, we achieve peace, tranquility, harmony, and connectedness. Problems and stresses unravel and resolve themselves. Our control over our senses becomes super-acute, giving us new insight and appreciation of life.

Many people believe being busy and productive is essential for success and fulfillment in life. However, the truth is that being busy doesn’t always lead to being productive. Successful people have mastered balancing their workload while finding time for leisure and relaxation. They understand that true happiness and fulfillment come from within and that being too exhausted to enjoy life is not the way to achieve success. Therefore, it’s essential to prioritize and manage time effectively to achieve both productivity and happiness.

What are some practical ways to incorporate more presence into daily life? It may seem like a typical spiritual go-to, but meditation, healthy food, and fresh air are all the start of the journey to a life…
