How do you discover a place of personal presence so you can have an effective and productive ways of showing up in the world?We are in balance when we have the capacity to be present, centred in ourselves and in relationship with those around us, These qualities can be the “difference that makes the difference” in our ability to enjoy life, communicate effectively and contribute to both our own and other’s wellbeing and success.

- Have a feeling of confidence and an absence of anxiety and self-doubt
- A state of focused spaciousness in the mind and relaxed readiness in the body
- Be able to operate at our very best in a sustainable way
If we are off balanced, we are likely to experience: anxiety, lack of confidence, low energy, fear, stress, mental paralysis.
