“It is impossible not to be present – we are always in the present moment, no matter what we do.
The question is whether our awareness is spending the present moment projecting into the past or future.
So presence is simply awareness resting in now, rather than projecting into the past or future (as most of us do, most of the time).
I’ll also add that presence is a felt sense, not a conceptual understanding.
You cannot think yourself present, you can only relax into presence – it’s floating, not treading water.
Effortlessness rather than effort.”
