For me, practising presence is a gift. And yes, I say practise, because one of my favourite sayings is, “the moment, I think I have it is the moment that I have lost it”. So, let me share what presence is and then 3 inspiring videos on the importance of practising presence.
What is Presence?
One of the authors that has inspired me to practise presence since I first read his book, the Power of Now is Eckhart Tolle. He says –
“You can’t think about presence, and the mind cannot understand it. Understanding presence is being present” (p. 93).
In the book Presence, Amy Cuddy says –
“Presence stems from believing in and trusting yourself – your real, honest feelings, values and abilities.” (p. 5) and “Presence as I mean it throughout these pages, is the state of being attuned to and able to comfortable express our true thoughts, feelings, values and potential.” ((p. 24).
