This two part series explores how we regularly leave our body and skim life’s surface in a mental trance, and the ways we can train our attention to come home again. We look at working with physical and emotional pain, and the gifts of love, wisdom, creativity and aliveness that arise as we learn to fully inhabit these living forms and all our senses with awareness.
In part 1, Tara explores:
- how embodied presence is the gateway to healing, love, and spiritual connection.
- the four common trances—obsessive thinking, judgment, distraction, and rushing—and how they block presence.
- how disconnection from the body fuels suffering, while mindful awareness restores empathy and wholeness.
- practical ways to return to the body throughout daily life and expand our capacity for presence.
- how slowing down, reconnecting with nature, and sensing the body open us to the sacred mystery of life.
Be The Energy
Trust the energy that courses
through you. Trust – then take
surrender even deeper.
Be the energy.Don’t push anything away.
Follow each sensation back to
its source and focus your awareness
there.Be the ecstasy…
Be unafraid of consummate wonder.
Emerge so new, so vulnerable,
that you don’t know
who you are.Be the energy,
and paradoxically,
be at peace.
Dare to be your own illumination,And blaze a trail across
the clear night sky…..Danna Faulds
