Stillness allows real life to break through.
- Jim Heaney -
The practice of presence allows us to see clearly our inner distractions and personal issues. It is personal, and it is simple to do because the power of the practice of presence isn’t what we do but what is being done to us when we stop the inner negative dialogue and experience our vibrant inner life, which is accessible to each of us, always. That is God’s promise to each of us: “Be still and know that I am God” (Psalm 46:10 RSVCE).
This video provides an overview of the Practice of Choosing Presence. It is also a trailer for a series of videos that follows a group of men from Illuman SoCal as they become aware of their unconscious self and embark on the journey toward presence and awareness of the vibrancy of life. Join along as author and creator of Choosing Presence Jim Heaney, and Pastor Jim Taylor guide this group of men through the practice as they awaken and to discover the true beauty and mystery of their lives.
When you can answer these three questions from your own experience, you have allowed God’s spiritual energy to free you from within.
Far too many of us are in an unconscious state of living through memory or anticipation, as we think or obsess about something that just happened or even could happen. It’s in this state of mind where we create our inner fears and conflicts along with the anxiety, worry, and lack of self esteem that comes with it.
Ways we know that we’re not present:
There is always peace in the present moment. Unfortunately, we are rarely in the present moment. As we become consciously present through stillness, our inner awareness changes and our natural state of well being emerges.
How is it you access God’s Presence and connect to God’s Spiritual Energy in your daily life?
