Summer 2026 - Presence and Present

We are late with our message due to Susan having surgery and needing recovery time.  As a reminder, "We" are the Ascended Masters and ArchAngels.

Presence is Not over-rated and some of you may be tired of hearing about the word/concept. This is all right and we will elaborate anyway.  What life, your soul, your body, the larger consciousness, calls for now is, Presence.

Let us define Presence first.  

It is the ability and the willingness to be with whatever is happening in the moment. For some it is already a reality due to expanded consciousness. For others, it is a choice in the moment.  

It is possible to "train" yourself to choose awareness of what's happening in the moment,  It is very much the same as creating a new habit by reminding self over and over.  

Mundane example #1.  

Let's say you are on foot and wanting to cross the street.  There is a light that will give you a "Walk" signal.  There are also occasional drivers who miss a pedestrian and speed through the light. It's important to watch for errant drivers, other pedestrians, bikers and cyclists.

Safely crossing the street requires more Presence, ie, more attention on the immediate.  When you safely cross the street and continue walking, a part of you may relax, yet you must remain somewhat vigilant as much is happening around you.

Mundane example #2

Imagine you are walking in the woods. There is a soft breeze. The trees are rustling gently, creating a whoosh sound.  You are enjoying the sights and smells of the forest.  Some smaller trees and bushes are barely moving.  You hear birds around you. If you look up, you see some talkative birds in the treetops.  If you look ahead, you see/hear birds in the bushes.  You notice the relaxed state you are in. You are breathing more deeply and feeling more calm.  You notice you haven't thought about the argument you had with someone earlier in the week.

By being open to the nature experience, you are more present.

What prevents being Present?

The mind, which functions in all/nothing, judgment/criticism, non-present (timetables) realities.  If you are anxious or depressed, you may have difficulty being present. AND you can allow some anxious/depressed thoughts as you also enjoy the forest.

Being More Present

By switching to the experiences of the senses, you"ll be able to be more present.  Examples- How does the breeze feel on you face?  How does a loud noise feel to you?   What do you hear or see?  How does you hair feel against your face?  

How do you experience someone's voice? A piece of music? Petting an animal?

How does your lunch taste?  What piece of food taste best? How does texture of food feel in your mouth?

These are all examples of becoming more Present.

Why be more Present? 

If you are more aware of each moment, you are Less Checked Out.  You are more available to the needs of the moment, whether that's enjoyment or addressing an emergency.  You are able to function with more wisdom as you pay attention to your inner wisdom and other's.  You miss less and see/hear/feel

more.  If more and more people exist in the Present, there is actually less crime, less build-up of hurt feelings, less acting-out of old hurts/pains, less hurting of others , less violence.  The Happiness Quotient rises.  As more people are happy, the quality of life may also rise.  There may be less dissatisfaction, less pent-up emotions. Happiness and Presence are not equated with greater income, although for some, greater income eases stress.

How would you like to experience being more Present today?

Allow yourself to remember to notice the present without expectations like, I didn't choose Presence enough today." "I missed this or that." These statements feed "I am not You Are Already Enough!!!  "You Are a Unique Creation ".  "However Present You Are Now IS Enough." 'It's natural to be in a Process!! 

BLESS YOU FOR HOWEVER MUCH PRESENCE YOU ARE IN/OUT OF!
