Being present requires every ounce of our being to be still,
so we can be a silent witness to our process or someone else’s
without censoring it.
It’s staying open to what is happening and following it as it shifts and morphs
into whatever emotionally, physically or spiritually wants to express itself.
It’s holding space and attention for full body presence,
not filtering it but rather being accepting,
in much the same way you might deal with a screaming infant or toddler,
that has fallen and skinned his/her knee.
When we can bear witness to ourselves and others without judgement, ego, or having an agenda,
we clear the debris and shine our brightest light as we weep our deepest sorrow.
This is the gift of deepening our relationship with self and others and
living a healthy happy life filled with gratitude;
And it is gratitude my friend that is what truly brings us true joy and happiness.

Happy Hump Day my friends,
Some of you asked about my training last week. In a nutshell this is the essence of my work whether I am sitting in meditation, prayer, doing a life coaching session, meditating, teaching yoga, giving a Craniosacral session or any other body work session. I could be sitting waiting for the light to change from red to green or doing the dishes. Do I do it all of the time? I do try but as we all know, the mind has a mind of it’s own. But if we can catch ourselves in the act, when we drift away and readjust and bring ourselves back to the present moment our lives become a walking meditation.
Thank you, Cindy!
Joanna

Very wise poem! Thank you (gratitude, ya know! 😉).
Ahhh thanks dear Sam! 💕❤️🙏
Great poem, Cindy! I’ve been trying to do a lot of this this week, as I cut out caffeine and for a few days I was literally a zombie 🧟♀️. But now I’m coming out of the fog, I think I’m paying better attention to my body. I hope it will help me get through PMDD. And I must buy some decaf, otherwise what am I gonna dunk my biscuits in? 🍪
Thank you so much dear Ingrid!! Oh good for you!!! Have you tried the coffee substitutes? Although I can’t say I like them very much!! 😂
I sure hope it helps your PMDD!!!
Lol you may have to give up the biscuits … sorry-💕
That’s what I’m afraid of 😭😭😭 I’m tackling sugar next month…wish me luck! 💕😅

Highest compliment my Dear Friend Poet of all forms! 💖❣️
Thank you, I’m humbled truly❣️
Oh my goodness Cindy, I can truly connect to your message for today. Gratitude. 🙏🏼
I love how you summarized this so eloquently:
“When we can bear witness to ourselves and others without judgement, ego, or having an agenda, we clear the debris and shine our brightest light as we weep our deepest sorrow.” Girlfriend, this is a drop-the-mic moment. 🎤🎤🎤 I truly enjoy this good read my friend, because this is how I felt this morning! So you know it resonated with my spirit! Thanks so much! 😍 🥰 😘
Dear Kim,
Thank you truly so much for this compliment that was such a gift to hear. I’m sooo glad you liked that part.. It’t my fav too and I may put that on insta. You are way kind and I loved that dropped the mic. You wrote this when I was giving my first poetry reading and I was so nervous but excited too! I’m happy to hear it spoke to you so deeply.
Soooo much appreciated my frined!!! 💖💖💖
Oh my pleasure Cindy. Congrats on giving your first recital. I’m sure you did a splendid job. 🤗 The first time is always nerve-racking, but when you get through it, you will have the courage to get up and do it some more! 👏🏼 💐 🙌🏼
Thank you so much Kym. It was so much fun and I’m always only nervous the first few minutes thankfully. Plus, they’re all friends so that was a plus!!! So appreciated❣️💖
Well, now Cindy, you will do it the next time without even thinking about it! I’m sure you did a fabulous job! 😊 Indeed, when you are around others who share your passion, it’s got to be fun!!! 🥳 🥂 😃
I’ll write about it in the morning.. it was a joy truly and it gets easier as you say like with anything. happy night.. xoxoxoxox 💖
I know I already responded to your post for today before I read this and I am so proud of you for your courageousness. 🤗 Don’t stop!!! 💖 💘 💝
oh you are soooo kind.. thanks soooo much .. so happy Phil connected us. Thanks Phil!!! xoxxoxo 💖
I agree with you Cindy! 100%! 🎯 Hugs and smooches my dear! 🤗 🥰 💋
we are 100 percenters..and back at cha 🤗🌈🥰
Powerful post, Cindy. Very impactful. Love it!💕❤️😍🙌💕
Thank you soooo much Grace. I’m so glad you found it powerful and impactful! Sooo happy to hear my friend. 💖💖💖❣️❣️🌷🙏🙏
I truly did. You are so welcome , my friend .💕
Thanks my friend.. xoxoxo 💖
💕❤️💕
💖
indeed!💖
Cindy, so very well said. Thanks. I borrowed this line from a Social Worker who led an organization that helped homeless, working families. She used to say “Be present in the conversation.” Often, we listen to respond not to understand. When we do, we miss out on so much. I recall Daryl Davis, a Black man who talked over 200 members of the KKK into quitting and giving him their robes. How did he do it? He asked them questions and then he listened. Since he did so, he could follow up with more questions. People just want to be heard he would say. If I listen, they will return the favor. Keith
I like the analogy of the same way you might deal with a screaming infant or toddler, Cindy. We have so much noises around to distract ourselves every day from caring and centering for ourselves. <3
Thank you so much Miriam. It is so true and we forget this is a vital part of living. You know so well with those sweet grandchildren!~!!
Love you to you yours and “Autumn”.. 💖
I appreciate the calmness of my daughter and son-in-law when the kids scream and make demand. They have so much patience. <3
Aww that’s so nice.. learned by non other but the best I expect!!! 💖
Exactly!! <3
Big hugs and love 💖🤗
<3 🙂
💖
This was like a particular feeling of peace, amplified into many emotions sort of poetry…..❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much for your meaningful message. I’m glad you found it peaceful!!!💖💖💖🙏
😁😁😁😁
💖💖
Thank you for the inspiration Cindy!
Being in the moment is the one thing I struggle with the most. I am always in the future, in the next moment, and always missing the now.
I will think of you and make more of an effort!
Blessings! ♥♥
oh Ana Star, you’re so welcome. I so happy to hear it was inspiring. You have good normal mind. Just thank it for sharing and let it know you’ll be back. It’s a challenge for all of us so you’re not alone. I find my early practice sets me up for the day and helps quiet the mind. Love to you my friend.. Can’t wait for the next dating post G.F. 💖
Nice on Cindy 👍… thank you 🙏 .. You inspired me to write a poem .. “Self aware” ..
You’re so welcome Joe. Oh good. is it up?

Beautiful prose, dearest Cindy. Mind does have a mind of its own, yet as you have so elegantly described, when we are aware, we can adjust back to presence and the love that is already there. I love it. ❤️🥰❤️

Sign me up for all the sessions my friend. I am particularly interested in the Craniosacral session. You are a hoot. You are certified in about as many different areas as a person can be in terms of providing healthy opportunities for healthy living. I bet when you leave people feel like they are so relaxed that they don’t feel like it is safe to drive. Much better than drinking to relax the mind and the body. You go girl!!!!! Now an internationally published poet as well. You are something Cindy, my dear friend who is not so far away. I am so happy for you. Great things happen to great people who just work at making people smile and that would be you. Love you sweetie, Joni xoxoxoxo
Done ! I’ll be looking for you and never let you leave. we may have to just drink tea and catch up the first 3 sessions. hahaha. I know it’s true my fingers are in lots of pies but all like you say for the health of it. whatever works and everyone is so unique in what works. Magic fingers do a lot. awww thanks my dear close to my heart friend!!! Thank you soooo much. I feel so blessed by your presence and support.. Thank you so much. 💖xoxoxoxo love you too❣️
Yeah!!!!! Tea party sounds wonderful my dear sweet friend. 🤗❤️💕🙏
cheers to you and me and tea!💖💖💖🌷🌷❤️
This resonates so deeply for me currently. I practiced breathwork last night, created space internally and basked in the aliveness within in complete stillness afterwards. It’s amazing what our body cues teach us and how we can then respond better to our environments. Beautiful share Cindy ❤
The work and practice surely does speak for itself alright Maria. What a lovely experience you just shared and demonstrated with your invaluable share my dear friend. Thanks it’s so nice to see you back which makes my heart happy!❣️
Awwww what a hug this comment is🌠🤗 it’s always my pleasure to share and interact with you dear one 💛
Oh so glad to hear that and always a gift for me too!❣️
❤❤❤
