Dear Spirit Soul! Most likely, you have noticed that it might not be easy to be present for ourselves or for others in our noisy crazy world. Presence for a moment at hand, for admiring the beauty of a simple flower, for a bird singing, or for truly listening to a fellow human being is not anymore a natural part of our lives. Yet, the good news is that it’s still available to you anytime. It’s like a muscle you can strengthen. It’s an attitude to cultivate and an intention you can take on to guide your life. Here's a Powerful Precence Practice for You: It can be done alone or with a practice buddy, on-site or online, and regularity will result in mastery. Let's get into it! I invite you to find a peaceful place, sit comfortably, take a few peaceful breaths, and connect with yourself in here and now by bringing your attention on:
 "The Austrian-born Israeli philosopher Martin Buber describes the quality of presence that life demands of us: "In spite of all similarities, every living situation has, like a newborn child, a new face that has never been before and will never come again. It demands of you a reaction that cannot be prepared beforehand. It demands nothing of what is past. It demands presence, responsibility; it demands YOU." So, let's keep giving these most precious gifts of our presence to anyone with whom our paths are crossing!
With love, yours Madhuri Radhika

We are in India, in an Ayurvedic Healt Care Center for rest and rejuvenation and blessed with an amazing doctor. Encouraged by our doctor to ask for what we need. In practice it plays out this way that I have to ask for many many times, in order to for example adjust the heat of the oil in a treatment, or the amount of the food duirng mealtimes to my needs.
I realised that if and when I am alert and aware enough to notice my needs are not met, and then immediately make a request it comes from the place of loving care. Then I still have spaciousness in me to care for myself and hold other person also with care and respect. I noticed with amazement, that in such a case, I have capacity to persist with my requests without becoming agitated or impatient but can continue asking for what I need with loving kindness. If I don´t realize my unmet needs early enough, or do not dare to ask for what I need, my inner space shrinks and becomes toxic. Then it is much harder to come with true request from loving caring energy for each person involved. |
