The Practice of Presence: Where Peace Begins
Practice of Presence Teaching
Each morning, I begin in stillness—sitting upright, hand over my heart, and asking for inner transformation. Breath anchors me in the present moment, whether through Dr. Andrew Weil’s 4-7-8 Breath or pairing my inhale with a sacred word like “Yahweh” or “Jesus.” Throughout the day, I pause for three conscious breaths and ask, Am I present now? How do I feel inside? Do I have a sense of peace within? These simple moments return me to God’s presence, quiet my thoughts, and help me live from my authentic self.
