Life happens to everyone.

It’s really through trial and tribulation that you grow the most. But often most difficulties are self-imposed, created within your own mind and your own way of thinking.

If you can step out of your drama, out of your trauma and your need or desire to discern, to deconstruct with your thoughts…

You’ll find within you

A place of stillness

Of simply being,

Eternal and endless.

It doesn’t matter what distractions the mind has organized, this field of clarity is always within you, always accessible.

It holds a level of peace that can recharge your body and spirit, like a quiet walk through the forest or a visit to the beach where you lie on the sand with the sun

warming your soul, lulled by the gentle rhythm of waves... bringing you easily and effortlessly into the presence of being.

Into presence…

That state of embodying who you are and what you are experiencing in the MOMENT.

It’s your presence that communicates to the world – not so much by words – but by radiating the essence of who you are being in this very time and space. Your wisdom, your experience, your love and compassion, your connection to yourself and all that is.

Yet presence is a 2-way street.

You can just as easily radiate confusion, contempt or conceit if your experience of the moment is not embodied, but instead running rampant inside your mental or emotional systems.

So how do you find this field of clarity?
