Deep dives
The Power of Being Present
Being present to our own experiences is the opposite of addiction, which is a way of dissociating from painful emotions. By engaging all of our senses and attending to something simple, like a Clementine, we can cultivate presence and connect with our reality. This practice aligns with the promise of God to be with us in our truth, offering a path to healing from addiction and a deeper spiritual journey.
