No, that’s not a typo in the title. It might be Christmas Eve, but I’m not talking about presents…I’m talking about presence. The holiday season is upon us, which hopefully means more time with family, friends, and other loved ones. While exchanging gifts and presents, don’t forget that the greatest gift you can give someone is your presence–being there with them in the moment without distraction. I’m guilty of not always being present in family settings…scrolling my phone while being semi-present to the conversations and people in the room. It’s not something I’m proud of, but now that I am more aware of it, I can do something about it. And what better time than Christmas Eve with my family and Christmas Day with my in-laws? I’m sure the sweater, shoes, or V-bucks you bought will be well received and appreciated, but I know your attention and presence will be appreciated even more. Over the next few days, give the greatest gift you can and be present with the loved ones in your life. JC |

We don’t get too deep into somatics and keep it at an introductory level, as many people aren’t even aware of somatics and the work associated with it. Here are a handful of takeaways from the episodes–you’ll definitely want to listen to or watch the entire episode to learn more about these: Somatics is the practice of...
“Every day, think as you wake up, today I am fortunate to be alive, I have a precious human life, I am not going to waste it. I am going to use all my energies to develop myself, to expand my heart out to others, to achieve enlightenment for the benefit of all beings. I am going to have kind thoughts towards others, I am not going to get angry or think badly about others. I am going to benefit others as much as I can.” -The Dalai Lama See you tomorrow and keep pursuing, JC
