#presence

[dumblr]

To crave a person’s presence instead of their body is the purest form of intimacy.

[leonardospoetry]

The future  will meet you  in the present and you will have  the presence  you cultivate.

[root4yourself]

being present does not necessarily mean enjoying the present. it means accepting it. accepting and sitting in the current state no matter how uncomfortable and resistant you might feel. it’s accepting what Is without attaching labels or feelings to it. just observing and seeing it through.

Goddess Kali herself is a manifestation of this vision of non duality.

Cut yourself free from mental burdens you carry & enter this moment naked as is.

Show up, here & now, with nothing but your being.

Without holding on to a definition you have been given of who you are.

Free from your story-line you escape time, you step out of the cause-effect timeline you are on.

Even for a moment, because such a moment is a deep plunge into the vastness of eternity.

Kali is that vastness, that contains all times, space & story-lines, but is not of time, space or mind.

[faronmckenzie]

Sometimes you’re so focused on the future that you don’t realise you’re in the middle of exactly what you used to pray for.

HOW TO HAVE A POWERFUL PRESENCE

1. Display confident body language. Straighten your spine. Hold your head up. Make eye contact when speaking to others. Do power poses. Take up space. Use your hands to help express what you're speaking about. Project your voice.

3. Take care of your appearance. Eat foods that make you feel energized and healthy. Cultivate a consistent skin care routine. Wash your pillows and makeup brushes regularly. Exfoliate your skin at least once a week. Take naps for less stress. Check in with yourself mentality.

5. Stop taking yourself so seriously. Most people are mostly focused on themselves, not fixating on judging you. They probably won't remember the mistakes you made as much as you do. So quit beating yourself up. (If there is someone hyper-focused on bullying you they are most likely trying to ignore something embarrassing about themselves. Bullies are the most insecure people within'. Remember that).

She doesn’t want gifts from you. She wants your time and attention, your heart and mind. She wants your presence, not your presents.

[sashayed]

One of the most important things I know now is that there is in a bedrock experiential sense only one time: that it is always now and never not now, although maybe you have to have spent much of your life feeling estranged from your own experiences for this concept to be "important" or "revelatory," rather than either "obvious" or "crazy" or, reasonably, (contemptuous jerkoff motions). Maybe if you have a brain that sorts "things that are actually happening" into a more urgent or immediate register than "ideas for things that MIGHT happen, how awful it would be if those things happened, and how to prevent them," then it does not surprise you or change your life to realize that it is always now and you only have to work with what is available to you now. Maybe it would not, for such a mind, be a kind of cataclysmic rebirth to discover that the bad future you are almost constantly building in your head -- while not necessarily always optional -- is always made up. I would not know! All I know is Anne Carson said nothing crazy!! Anne Carson is fucking right!!!!!!
