The Importance of Having a Ministry of Presence

I do love that phrase, a ministry of Presence. It encapsulates much of what we've been talking about instead of freaking out like, oh my God, you know, I'm angry again or being so ashamed. And the quote I use in my book is something which was told to me that the brain filled with shame cannot learn. You know, it's so tight and so contracted. It's so miserable, a state that it's not going to be onward-leading. That's the whole point. How can we learn? How can we change? HowCan we open?
