The Pleasure of Presence (transcript)
Breathe in and raise your vibration!
Breathe out and release your resistance!

Breathe in and raise your vibration!
Breathe out and release your resistance!

Relax your body.

Breathe in and slow down.
Breathe out and say yes to what is!

This is the right place and this is the right time.

Breathe in and be here now.
Breathe out and surrender your preferences.

Decide to take pleasure in your presence today. Whenever you’re craving something outside of yourself, like coffee, or sugar, a cigarette, alcohol, sex—whatever it is—decide when you’re craving, to instead seek pleasure in presence.

Breathe in and wake up in the dream!
Breathe out and enter the infinite present moment, where all of your power lies, where everything is fun and there’s nothing to worry about.

Breathe in and be here now.
Breathe out and find your pleasure here, with me, right now.

The only thing that can make you feel bad is your thoughts. And if you can get some space from your thoughts, you’ll start feeling better. And you start feeling better because your natural state is joy and love and enthusiasm. In the present moment, there are no thoughts. So if you enter the present moment, where there are no thoughts, you’ll start feeling joyful and loving and enthusiastic about life! And that’s pretty pleasant right?

Breathe in and find your pleasure now.
Breathe out and be so pleased to be here!

I’m so pleased you’re here!

Breathe in and say yes to what is!
Breathe out and keep saying yes to what is! That’s one way to be present, to stop resisting with your thoughts.

Whatever technique it takes for you to enter the present moment, do that today.

Breathe in and commit to your presence today.
Breathe out and start feeling pleasure already.

Begin to equate presence with pleasure. I know that I find my mind seeking for hits of pleasure all day, every day. Maybe I should have some coffee. Maybe I should take something. Maybe I should smoke something, maybe I should drink something. Maybe I should talk to someone. And on and on and on. But in the present moment, joy and love and enthusiasm are natural. And awe! And when you’re in awe of life, of where you’re at, you don’t care about putting things in your mouth!

Breathe in and find your pleasure right here.
Breathe out and feel excited about being present today.

It’s always right now. You can have infinite pleasure, right now. And you won’t need to buy another drink or buy another pack of cigarettes or whatever it is. You can get all of your pleasure right here, right now.

Breathe in and feel free!
Breathe out and be free of seeking for pleasure outside of yourself, outside of this moment.

It’s all right here! It’s all right now! This moment is infinite! It’s eternally unfolding. Perfectly.

Breathe in and see the perfection of this moment.
Breathe out and remember: It’s already perfect, wow!

This is the best day of your life! And you’re doing everything right! Let yourself just be here. Just exist. Just practice being. And you’ll see, life already is the way you want it to be!

Breathe in and be here now.
Breathe out and commit to the pleasure of presence today. In whatever way you can—by focusing on your breath, by saying yes to what is, by silent counting, chanting—practice all the different techniques. They’re all fun. Anything that gives you some distance from your thoughts and helps you return to your natural state of joy and love and enthusiasm!

Breathe in and say yes to what is because it’s already perfect!
Breathe out and feel so excited to be here in this life! It’s already perfect and you get to just enjoy it now. Wow!
