Hi everyone, happy beautiful Monday,

Thank you all once again for such honest contributions to our Power to Discern. I needed a bit of clarity this week, so I concentrated on that thought as I drew the next Power 🙂 🙂 A huge smile enveloped my face when I read… Power to be Present – appropriate? Definitely!!!…

So here goes… Our 6th Power is the 1st Jewel – Power to be Present – page 13…

‘True power is complete authority over the self,
such riches are yours to endow.
Paying attention is therefore an effective key,
to play clever and never to bow
to the past or the future,
but be present here and NOW’

** The Power to be Present is the ability to stay here. No matter what is happening around me, if I have the tools and willpower to regularly bring myself back to the present moment, life truly becomes harmonious.

** I am the gift… I am not yesterday, I am not tomorrow, I am today – the present.
** Supporting Virtues: Attentive, Balanced, Centred, Happy, Detached, Practical

Tips:
1. At the start and end of each day (and several times during the day) – breathe and become present – awaken to your senses.
1. Pay close attention to your own attitude and observe your surroundings.
3. Enjoy today – presence gives much better clarity

Questions to churn:
1. Do you let the past stop you from moving forward?
2. Do you worry and race to the future?
3. How much time do you spend here?

Have a wonderful week, lots of love Annemarie 🙂
