Hello! I’m so glad you’re here. This episode is all about emotional presence – and learning how to cope with the repercussions when you’re not so present.
I’ll begin with an essay I wrote called ‘How to Find the Lessons Hidden in Everyday Dilemmas’. In it, I talk about how to fit your emotions into their right space in your life. For the fact is, they can be wonderful teachers – and frankly, that letting off of steam is necessary.
I end my essay with this quote from Teal, written a year before her death while on a hike through Italy. In my mind it kind of says it all.
“On my way back I saw this cemetery … It was white marble and really amazing … overlooking the sea, cliffs, mountains, and towns. So I chose to meditate and I got: ‘Go to Thailand, open your heart, open your soul and be.’
“The whole ‘be’ thing really made an impact on me. I realized in life I am never really there. I tend to be thinking about the future or past or something someone said instead of being in the moment, and taking it in for all its beauty.
After this meditation I knew I had been transformed because I looked out over the ocean and mountain scene in front of me and started to cry. I was really able to take it all in and I finally realized how blessed I am to be here, and how many beautiful things there are here.”

Here’s what I learned:
Take a listen! It’s a wonderful episode … and as ever I end with a healing two-minute meditation.
