Zen Benefiel joins the "Are You Being Present?" podcast as a guest host with Paul Kerzner. Zen is an author, minister, facilitator and "possibilities coagulator" who has years of experience working within the mindfulness arena.
The title of this podcast is "What's Your Presence Process?" Learning and working on presence requires a fluid methodology that is developed and improved throughout life. Both Zen and Paul delve into a deep discussion where they explore their own perspectives and perceptions of the present moment.
During the podcast Zen discusses how he grew up as empathic and having to learn how to be present and navigate the world without taking on other people's feelings. He shared the need to find a place that he could differentiate himself as there was a tendency to take on emotions that weren't his own. There are many people who are also empathic that will find this part of the podcast useful and relatable.
One interesting subject that Zen and Paul explore was communication and the effect is has on being present. Often times there is a considerable amount of projection taking place and this can be due to the fact that people will hear different things based on their own subjective interpretations. Having clarity, speaking with intention and being open is a key component of a successful presence process.
The Presence Projects thanks Zen for joining the podcast and looks forward to having him return soon for a follow up. If you'd like to learn more or contact Zen Benefiel please visit his website: http://zenbenefiel.com/
The Presence Projects presents episode 12 of the "Are You Being Present?" podcast series. The topic for this episode is "Laugh With the Present Moment" and features StevieAnne Petitt who is a conscious comedian, teacher, mother and author.
In this episode StevieAnne discusses her life path and how she was able to overcome great adversity using comedy and laughter. We learn that laughing is an amazing 'presence tool' and a wonderful way to accept life in the 'here and now'. Her personal story, the challenges she has faced and her ability to maintain such a positive perspective will truly impress and inspire those of us who have also faced hardship in some way, shape or form.
While it is true that not every present moment is funny, with some moments more serious than others, we must strive to find the humor and use laughter to help shift us away from past thought and future worry. When we laugh it is impossible to experience anything but presence. If you don't believe that then just start laughing and you'll see for yourself.
We thank StevieAnne Petitt for being a part of this special podcast and look forward to having her return. To learn more about her please click this: [Link]
