The Art of Presence

A collection of thoughts on conscious living, body awareness, relaxation, sensuality, mindfulness and the art of slowing down.

Presence

Why We Find It Difficult to Relax

We live in a world designed to keep our attention moving. Notifications. Messages. Work. Responsibilities.

Even when the body stops, the mind may continue. Learning to become still is therefore a practice.

Sometimes the greatest luxury is simply having permission to do nothing.

Awareness

Breath & Body Awareness

The breath is constantly with us, yet we rarely notice it.

During conscious bodywork, becoming aware of breathing can create a simple anchor to the present moment.

Simply notice. Breathe. Allow the body to soften.

Receiving

The Art of Receiving

Giving is often easier than receiving.

Receiving requires openness. It requires trust. It requires allowing another person to create an experience without attempting to control every moment.

A private bodywork session can become an opportunity to practise conscious receiving.

Connection

Touch & Presence

The quality of touch depends on more than technique.

It depends on attention.

A present practitioner notices rhythm, pressure, breathing and response.

Conscious touch is therefore not simply something performed on the body. It is an interaction based on awareness.

A Message From Resha

Take your time.

You spend much of your life responding to the outside world. For a little while, you can simply return to yourself.

Breathe. Slow down. Listen to your body.

Allow yourself to experience the present moment without needing to achieve anything.

This is the essence of the Resha'z experience.
