We can bathe and cloak ourself in presence. My sense is once you're in presence nothing can really harm you. It is very protective, nothing can really harm you, it is very protective. It brings safety, even in the storm.
 We can create the conditions for stability, balance, even with unsafe parts within us. So, presence can actually cloak, wrap itself around overwhelm. It can hold intense feelings. It can offer space - all this in the service of relationship.
I just want to read you something from gene Gendlin, as he talks about and introduces, really the premise for Focusing.
‘What matters is to be a human being with another human being, to recognize the other person as another being in there... the first thing you have to know is that there is somebody in there, and that you have to wait for that "person," that being in there, to be in contact with you. That seems to me to be the most important thing.
...I am just here, with my eyes, and there is this other being. If they happen to look into my eyes, they will see that I am just a shaky being. I have to tolerate that. They may not look. But if they do, they will see that. They will see the slightly shy, slightly withdrawing, insecure existence that I am.’ 
Not being present, in a way is being hostage to the dead and feelings and thoughts, to judgements, to blaming, to analysis and to evaluating. Anything that kind of gets in the way of connection with ourselves, connection with another.  Thoughts, feelings are not problem, if they are held in presence. Parts of us can be shaky, vulnerable, raw or even confident, spacious and open - we can hold that too. So a core quality of presence is embodiment., a visceral sense of being. This solid, spacious sense selves, in a way, is the first port call. 
To be summoned by the earth - the earth is always calling, always inviting us to feast at her table. Sensing where the body meets the earth, resting with these sensations of contact, touch. Very tangible. And often for me it brings a sense of relief. And often a deep sigh. Happy. To be once again at home. Not this body ever left, of course. Contact, from rom this contact the body can emerge. into a sense which will shape. Just being available to the fullness of its contours, to the surfaces to the life of the body. Like a kaleidoscope full of different colours, hues, textures - one little shift and the whole thing changes. Being available to the fullness of the breathing body. Inviting a kindness and a warm awareness to rest here too. And the fullness of this body of course, includes a spatial awareness. That is also an element of the sensing body. Sensing outwards. Into the constellations of astral bodies teeming with jewels. the night sky is alive, just as is the day sky.  Something in us can sense the fullness of this open dimension. This portal is always available at all times. This spatial awareness also breathes us -breathing in and out into the rich Inner world and into the universe within, so to speak, every bit as infinite as the outer.
 The breathing like a revolving door - the inner and the outer universe united. Just making room for all the riches within and perhaps something shaky? Something solid. Perhaps a mixture? But like the external universe, unfathomable, unknowable. It's a place of exploration.  Making room, perhaps saying hello to whatever is here. Summoning and inviting the support of the universe. To keep it company too. Just letting the whole of this rest in itself. 
Grounded, aware, spacious, compassionate presence.

Presence as Portal Into The Shapeshifting Nature of Sensing

‘And in this spatial ocean quality of being something in us can sense the starriness of things, where the infinite meets the earth…..’
A gentle sense of landing. The birds are twittering happily, it’s a blue sky. This is an invitation feeling into what’s alive, from what’s alive. An image of a feather comes, landing on a lake, offering itself to the water with the faintest of ripples.  A soft contact.  Just sensing what you are inviting to land?  Maybe landing in the breath? Landing on the earth? Perhaps sensing your feet, or your body meeting the earth in some other way? A gentle touch. A landing with the clothing, soft material meeting then skin? A landing with the whole shape of the body, arriving in itself perhaps more fully? What else is arriving and landing? Maybe something subtle?  Maybe some sounds?  The sound of the birds, coming home. A sense of the pulse? A kind of perfuming into space, or space perfuming you? The natural order of things landing in themselves, all the elements. A soft and deep landing maybe an emotion immersing into a deep ocean of sapphire blue, sparkling diamond clear maybe jade green waters, becoming the ocean of being.  Being kissed by the horizon, by the sky - space and ocean are one.  And in this spatial ocean quality of being something in us can sense the starriness of things, where the infinite meets the earth, grounded aware, spacious, compassionate presence.  
Making room for what wants to land within….. something there under the ribs in the stomach or throat or elsewhere?  Being held by this oceanic spacious sense of beingness, being held by the sound of birds.  I wonder what the birds would like to say to those ‘somethings’ within? 
Making room for whatever is here.  Inviting a little hello to ‘that there’ That in the corner of the heart, that in the depths of the stomach, that in the periphery of being, or elsewhere.  Being sensitive to what it is calling for or calling from or to.  Just receiving it for whatever it is with compassion, a curiosity, a softness like the feather in a breadth like the deep mighty ocean.
Landing into its own sense of wholeness.  Resting here.
