THE POWER OF PRESENCE
I recall once, once being on rotation at the hospital and being called in to engaged a very disturbed full of rage woman who tried to stab a nurse and threw a chair at her psychiatrist.
I did some deep breathing, quieted my mind and entered into mindful peripheral vision or the NLP learning state. I wanted to be as humble as possible as not to threaten her.
I did silent empathy and nonverbal rapport building with her and remained calm without saying anything. There was a long silence with her back toward me. She finally turned to me and said “What do you want?” I simply said “Just to be with you and listen” it seemed to change her whole demeanor.
That day I learned the power of simply being present. My presence not my words was a powerful healing energy to reduce her tension and conflict. I learned that day it was the most powerful gift I had to offer to help center others in conflict. So the first thing I teach individuals and couples who see me now is peripheral vision or in Eckhart circles called the Presence Process.
I would be happy to teach anyone interested this technique in a free “get acquainted session” Text me at 949-250-1423
