Within each of us is a unique essence,
The purest,
Most authentic truth of who we are as human beings.
How we express this essence is called presence,
A way of being that is felt,
Not seen,
And can usually be expressed in a single word.
We quite often label someone's presence as charisma,
Or confidence,
Or grace.
Discovering your unique expression of presence can be a wonderful mystical experience.
It can also be very straightforward and intentional.
What trait or attribute do you desire to express more truthfully,
More authentically?
And so for this moment,
We're going to welcome intentional presence.
And so choose just one word,
One singular attribute that you would wish to embody.
And when you have that one word,
Hold it clearly in your mind,
That one word.
Take a deep breath and allow yourself to settle.
Breathing easily and naturally,
Begin to notice the support beneath you and allow your body to relax and let go.
Nice,
Easy breath.
Relaxed,
At peace,
Fully present in this moment.
That one word held lightly in your mind,
Like a delicate flower in the palm of your hand.
And as you breathe,
Imagine that word as a particular color.
Imagine that color as light swirling softly around you.
And as the light,
That beautiful colored light that represents that one word,
Winds gently around you,
Caressing and soothing,
Easing any tension in your body.
Imagine breathing in that colored light like a soft,
Pure mist.
Breathing in that sweet mist,
Allowing it to move through your entire body.
Breathing and nourishing every muscle,
Every bone,
Every cell.
Breathing deeply,
Holding that word,
That colored mist throughout your body,
Deep all the way to your toes.
And as you exhale,
Repeat that word to yourself,
Silent.
Breathe in the colored mist of your unique presence.
Exhale the word silently.
Feel the power of releasing that word,
Your personal presence,
Into the universe.
Breathe in that colorful mist and say,
I am.
And exhale the word for your presence.
Breathe in the mist and say,
I am.
And exhale who you are into the world.
Breathe in,
I am.
Exhale.
And exhale.
Breathe in,
I am.
And exhale who you are in the world.
And as you breathe that word that is your essence,
That is your expression of presence,
So you are.
And so you are.
In this moment,
This is your truth.
In this moment,
This is your truth.
In this moment,
This is your truth.
