Presence Isn't Just a Noun: How to Perfectly Practice the Art of Presencing

Presence…it's a word most of us employ as a noun, but that strips it of its power and purpose. Presencing may not be a word dictionaries and search engines recognize, but it is how our essence is actually expressed.

 

Presence in its truest sense isn't a static state - it's active, always expanding and shifting. It's how we fill our reservoir of aliveness, how we fully experience the daily dance of being right here, right now. Presencing is how we not only locate ourselves within ourselves, and in the world, it's also how we access the part that allows us to be with the people we care about.

 

In the absence of presence, we become pent up, closed off versions of ourselves, and like a stagnant body of water, there's no aliveness there.

 

How do we dive into the wonderful art of presencing? How can we learn to be with any setting or context?

 

In this episode, we talk about how to make presencing a practice and put our essence into movement.

 

No one can really dam themselves up, so what's inside is going to show up in one way or another. If we give ourselves the conscious choice to be with, some kind of flow comes out of that courageous choice. -Katie Hendricks
