The whole world changes when there's presence - sunlight everywhere - because you're not separate from the world.

Many things in your life matter, but only one thing matters absolutely.. It is finding the essence of who you are.

Hang on to the inner body, let it be the anchor, then you're present. If they say something challenging and you lose it again, pause, and anchor again. Practice, practice, continuous practice-becaus e when you're in touch with the inner body, spaciousness arises.
