What is presence? And, what is the power of presence?
What is presence? To know it is to experience it! I would like to give you a straightforward answer, but unfortunately I can’t. And, in order to tell you what the ‘power of presence’ is I have to begin with presence itself. Let me explain why it’s not that straightforward though. Many are cautious in explaining what presence is and this is actually justifiable and reasonable. Presence is something that occurs beyond the intellect, that is to say beyond the mind and so it stands that it cannot be explained with the intellect and more specifically with language. Language in defining or explaining presence is fundamentally inadequate. To truly ‘know’ presence…

The Power of Awareness: Online Course Review
If you want to bring more awareness into your life, understand what that really means, the power it has and experience how this can transform your life then you’re definitely on the right track in considering The Power of Awareness online course. From my personal experience, experience is the key.

Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction Online Training – Review
Why the MBSR course? I’ve done a lot and I mean a lot of courses in my time and many of those have been online including those around mindfulness and meditation. And, I’ve listened to audios, watched videos, read a lot of books and been on retreats both in the flesh and online. Let’s just say I’ve been exposed to quite a lot on my journey of self-improvement although these days I’d probably term it awareness/consciousness. If you suffer from anxiety or stress or just want to experience more calm in your life and all of the associated benefits that that brings, then the MBSR online course is a great way…

What is mindfulness practice? The path to happiness!
First, let’s start with a definition of what mindfulness is before I provide some examples of mindfulness practice and also why we do it. So, what is mindfulness anyway? Mindfulness is about being aware, having a conscious awareness in the moment. I don’t get it. What do you mean conscious awareness? To elaborate further, conscious awareness is about being present here and now and being consciously aware of thoughts, feelings and sensations in the body. Why practice mindfulness? Usually people move towards meditation or mindfulness due to being stressed, unhappy on some level or to improve something in their lives – even if unconsciously. We practice mindfulness because most of us…
