EPISODE SUMMARY:
This week, on The Conscious Consultant Hour, we start off the New Year with just you and Sam as he shares with you about the most important skill in having a fulfilling life.
Presence.
Our ability to truly show up and be engaged in the present moment, no matter how wonderful or how terrible it is, is one of the greatest skills we will ever master.
When we allow ourselves to connect with our feelings and hold space for ourselves even in the most difficult of times, the more we are truly living. Our joy becomes more joyful, while our pain becomes more excruciating. Both are here to help us to live life to the fullest.

Tune in for this enlightening conversation at TalkRadio.nyc
Sam introduces the topic for today’s episode, which focuses on presence. Sam reads a section from his book entitled Our Own Fear Causes Us To Hide Our Brillant Light. Sam wrote this section after an experience of seeing how he was hiding his own life. He found that it was common and that many individuals tend to do that. Sam shares how it’s normal to care what people think of you. It’s a process where we evolve and fully accept ourselves for who we are. Sam advises his listeners to take the time and appreciate themselves, flaws and all. Maybe in twelve months, you will be comfortable shining your light.
Sam discusses the importance of presence and how it is difficult for us to remain present. Technology is a key reason why people struggle to stay present. Our habits create a pattern that takes us out of the present moment. Sam talks about the pros and cons of technology. Sam says we’ve allowed technology to be our masters and not our servants making us serve technology. Before the break, Sam continues to discuss the way in which we take ourselves out of presence.
Sam explains how our trauma keeps us out of the present. We experience things as children that have effects on us and last through our adulthood. He talks about dissociation and how people who tend to dissociate have endured some sort of trauma in their life. Sam shares how presence slows down life. That is one of the greatest gifts of presence. The more we pay attention to the moment, the richer our life is, and the more we can appreciate others and nature around us. We are all here for a reason: to live life, learn, and grow. Sam asks what are you feeling in this present moment? Sam says the present is the most powerful place we can be in our lives.
Being present in a time of distress only benefits you because it helps you make better decisions. Sam shares that he lives in NYC and how it helps him be present on the subway or in public because it can keep him out of danger. Sam gives different hypothetical situations of why presence is power. Presence is your greatest ally because it allows you to be open to experiences. Sam advises us to find a practice for ourselves that helps us be more present. Practice being present and notice what takes you out of presence.
00:00:37.230 --> 00:00:54.630 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: good afternoon! Good evening! Good morning! Wherever you're tuning in from, and especially a good new year. Oh, my God! I cannot believe it is already 23! Can you imagine
00:00:54.830 --> 00:00:59.469 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: it? It's truly amazing to me to think
00:00:59.620 --> 00:01:05.860 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: how fast time moves these days. I just feel like
00:01:06.090 --> 00:01:07.260 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I I
00:01:08.750 --> 00:01:12.250 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I just feel like every year things
00:01:12.390 --> 00:01:22.339 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: move faster and faster and faster. I don't know if you feel that way, but I know i'm certainly feeling that way lately.
00:01:22.380 --> 00:01:35.730 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: so welcome. no guest today. It's just me and you so I hope you're tuning in and and and going to enjoy the show. My topic today
00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:55.909 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: is all around presence. It's about being present to the present moment, and this to me, is such an important topic. It's something that I feel we don't really pay enough attention to, and is not talked about enough, because presence is really the key for so many things.
00:01:56.260 --> 00:02:06.369 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: so that's why I wanted to start off this year talking about presence. However, of course. First, as always, we have our quote from my book.
00:02:07.440 --> 00:02:13.820 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Everyday Awakening and this is little section is entitled.
00:02:14.810 --> 00:02:16.690 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Our Own fear
00:02:16.910 --> 00:02:18.230 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: causes us
00:02:18.630 --> 00:02:22.140 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: to hide our brilliant light.
00:02:23.780 --> 00:02:28.099 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: There is this place inside of us where we hide.
00:02:28.590 --> 00:02:32.790 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: we hide our own special form of crazy.
00:02:32.900 --> 00:02:37.100 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: We hide our uniqueness and our innocence.
00:02:37.850 --> 00:02:42.660 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: We hide the best parts of us because we have been taught to
00:02:43.560 --> 00:02:50.339 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: through experience. We've learned that it is not safe to be ourselves
00:02:50.450 --> 00:02:52.519 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: or show our true colors.
00:02:53.170 --> 00:02:59.830 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: We sometimes believe it's not safe to admit to our friends or our partners how we really feel.
00:03:00.480 --> 00:03:07.230 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Our experiences also have shown us that others won't accept us for being different.
00:03:08.110 --> 00:03:11.310 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: The kids at school may have been merciless.
00:03:11.540 --> 00:03:17.540 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: The neighborhood bullies may have tried to make sure we would never feel safe again.
00:03:18.120 --> 00:03:26.200 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Yet there comes a time in all of our lives. When our soul drives us to break free.
00:03:26.650 --> 00:03:28.980 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: break free from trauma.
00:03:29.350 --> 00:03:31.619 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: break free from oppression.
00:03:31.940 --> 00:03:38.020 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: break free, and let our wings unfurl, so we may fly.
00:03:38.690 --> 00:03:42.180 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: It takes bravery to stop hiding.
00:03:45.190 --> 00:03:47.750 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: to let ourselves be seen
00:03:48.770 --> 00:03:54.709 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: to take. It takes us allowing ourselves to feel scared again.
00:03:55.630 --> 00:04:00.959 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: It takes facing the fact that we just might be rejected again.
00:04:01.890 --> 00:04:05.410 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: When we're ready we do it anyway.
00:04:05.710 --> 00:04:10.979 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: We stand up and give ourselves permission to be who we really are.
00:04:12.040 --> 00:04:16.250 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: We cast off our concerns about what others may think.
00:04:17.019 --> 00:04:23.050 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: We rid ourselves of the habit of pleasing others over ourselves.
00:04:23.710 --> 00:04:25.330 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: We speak our truth.
00:04:26.080 --> 00:04:29.269 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: we express our individual nature.
00:04:29.770 --> 00:04:33.969 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: we allow our light to shine as it was meant to.
00:04:35.710 --> 00:04:39.879 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Where can you allow your light to shine again.
00:04:40.730 --> 00:04:44.489 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: or perhaps shine just a little brighter.
00:04:45.460 --> 00:04:46.150 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Hmm.
00:04:47.560 --> 00:04:51.240 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: This section of my book I I wrote
00:04:52.930 --> 00:04:56.280 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: after an experience
00:04:57.700 --> 00:04:59.490 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: of really seeing
00:04:59.620 --> 00:05:00.730 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: how
00:05:01.830 --> 00:05:02.900 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I
00:05:03.150 --> 00:05:05.290 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I have been hiding my own life.
00:05:07.810 --> 00:05:11.300 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and then I learned that it's pretty common.
00:05:14.240 --> 00:05:15.559 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I remember
00:05:15.980 --> 00:05:18.520 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I was in ceremony, and
00:05:19.960 --> 00:05:23.530 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: just all of these experiences
00:05:23.850 --> 00:05:25.490 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: from childhood
00:05:25.600 --> 00:05:27.909 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: from being bullied
00:05:28.030 --> 00:05:31.900 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: from being made fun out for being a little different.
00:05:33.560 --> 00:05:37.490 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and how that alienation really came up in me.
00:05:38.780 --> 00:05:40.119 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and I remember
00:05:40.620 --> 00:05:43.689 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: expressing this at the end of the ceremony.
00:05:44.660 --> 00:05:51.460 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and almost everybody in the room was, yeah, we we felt that, too. Yeah, I I I got that, too.
00:05:54.500 --> 00:05:58.279 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and it was just so fascinating to me because
00:06:01.950 --> 00:06:06.700 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I never really considered myself one to hide.
00:06:07.410 --> 00:06:19.020 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I mean, I do public speaking. I've been a public speaker since I was in college, on the speech and debate team. I'd love being out in front on stage doing my show
00:06:19.100 --> 00:06:21.089 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: being here with you all.
00:06:23.450 --> 00:06:28.030 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And so I I never really thought of myself as hiding
00:06:30.210 --> 00:06:32.430 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: yet. At the same time
00:06:32.540 --> 00:06:35.090 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I've realized in some ways
00:06:35.220 --> 00:06:37.760 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I've been hiding in plain sight.
00:06:37.990 --> 00:06:40.510 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Yes, i'm right there in front.
00:06:40.650 --> 00:06:43.870 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I'm. I'm there for everyone to see.
00:06:45.030 --> 00:06:48.480 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: But am I truly being my authentic self?
00:06:49.260 --> 00:06:50.850 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Am I truly
00:06:51.490 --> 00:06:54.210 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: expressing what I really feel?
00:06:54.300 --> 00:06:57.160 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Am I really allowing myself
00:06:57.900 --> 00:07:00.450 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: to just be free without
00:07:00.490 --> 00:07:01.810 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: concern
00:07:01.950 --> 00:07:03.750 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: of what others may think.
00:07:05.220 --> 00:07:06.789 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: The answer is No.
00:07:08.160 --> 00:07:10.300 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and although maybe
00:07:10.970 --> 00:07:13.200 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: a little bit better
00:07:13.610 --> 00:07:14.610 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: at
00:07:16.910 --> 00:07:20.690 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: being more authentic, being more aligned with myself
00:07:20.740 --> 00:07:25.760 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: about not caring quite as much as what other people think of me.
00:07:26.820 --> 00:07:29.489 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: The truth is, it's an ongoing process.
00:07:29.690 --> 00:07:32.469 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and I still care what other people think of me
00:07:33.200 --> 00:07:41.859 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: because I still want friends. I still want people to like me, I mean, who doesn't want people to like them. I mean, I know there's some sociopaths who probably don't really care.
00:07:43.090 --> 00:07:47.849 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: But if you're a relatively normal human being.
00:07:48.050 --> 00:07:52.779 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: we care what other people think of us. We don't like to be made fun of.
00:07:54.700 --> 00:07:56.110 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: It hurts us
00:07:57.540 --> 00:08:00.460 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: when people pick out that when
00:08:00.540 --> 00:08:03.849 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: idiosyncratic habit we have
00:08:03.990 --> 00:08:05.590 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and tease us for it.
00:08:09.080 --> 00:08:10.240 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: it hurts.
00:08:11.670 --> 00:08:13.420 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and it causes us
00:08:14.580 --> 00:08:16.659 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: to cover up
00:08:17.040 --> 00:08:19.369 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: to hide our light.
00:08:21.130 --> 00:08:23.239 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and it's not like we
00:08:23.430 --> 00:08:30.750 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: get to some big revelation one day or something happens, and then boom! We're just completely authentic, and really
00:08:31.520 --> 00:08:34.109 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: we being ourselves one day.
00:08:35.250 --> 00:08:38.229 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: it's sort of once we realize it. Once we
00:08:38.289 --> 00:08:41.589 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: know what's going on, and we make the choice. It's a
00:08:41.799 --> 00:08:44.449 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: constantly evolving process.
00:08:44.680 --> 00:08:47.870 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: We're taking little steps here and there.
00:08:48.300 --> 00:08:54.730 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: It's it's the little things we do where we start to allow ourselves to come out a little bit more
00:08:55.960 --> 00:08:58.420 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: we start being a little bit more playful.
00:08:58.710 --> 00:09:03.630 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and then, as we get some positive reinforcement, then we're even a little more playful.
00:09:05.600 --> 00:09:07.459 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: so it's not like
00:09:09.490 --> 00:09:14.650 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: our fear just suddenly disappears, you know. Sometimes I feel like
00:09:15.930 --> 00:09:18.709 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: when people see someone who's
00:09:19.370 --> 00:09:28.239 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: ultra successful, who's on stage in front of thousands of people, and and and thinks all they they have it all together
00:09:28.860 --> 00:09:32.549 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and and like. Oh, we! I wish I could be like that person.
00:09:34.030 --> 00:09:37.270 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and they don't realize that even that person.
00:09:37.840 --> 00:09:45.400 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: even that most successful person, they themselves are still dealing with their own
00:09:45.540 --> 00:09:50.209 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: challenges of inadequacy and and and
00:09:50.710 --> 00:09:54.810 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and and self criticism, and
00:09:55.240 --> 00:10:02.789 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: caring too much about what other people think, and not taking care of themselves and all the other stuff that goes with it.
00:10:05.070 --> 00:10:13.009 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: It, just because we make a lot of money just because we're on stage, just because we have a successful podcast or radio show.
00:10:13.360 --> 00:10:17.639 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: just because we're an influencer on some social media platform
00:10:18.260 --> 00:10:27.750 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: does not mean that we still don't have Fear does not mean that we're still not dealing with these challenges on a daily basis.
00:10:28.830 --> 00:10:30.559 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: But that's the real work.
00:10:32.250 --> 00:10:33.490 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: You see.
00:10:34.820 --> 00:10:38.209 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: it's not about the big events.
00:10:40.240 --> 00:10:43.359 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: It's in all the little ways that we hide
00:10:43.880 --> 00:10:46.760 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: it's in, how we show up with our friends
00:10:46.810 --> 00:10:53.249 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: when we go to the movies or watch a game or TV show together or hang out for dinner.
00:10:56.010 --> 00:11:04.609 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: It's those little doubts that we harbor inside of us that keep us from saying that one little thing
00:11:05.080 --> 00:11:08.040 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: that is truly how we feel about something.
00:11:09.130 --> 00:11:15.300 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: because we think the other person will think, oh, they're crazy, all that silly. That's ridiculous.
00:11:17.110 --> 00:11:21.770 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Nobody wants to be made fun of. Nobody wants to be minimized.
00:11:25.150 --> 00:11:27.070 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and so it takes a lot.
00:11:27.400 --> 00:11:30.190 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: It takes a lot of work
00:11:31.080 --> 00:11:33.139 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: to develop our courage.
00:11:34.820 --> 00:11:36.730 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: to understand that
00:11:38.100 --> 00:11:43.699 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: how we feel about ourselves, and how we feel about life
00:11:46.190 --> 00:11:49.270 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: has to be the most important thing to us
00:11:49.310 --> 00:11:50.450 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: first
00:11:52.270 --> 00:11:55.249 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: doesn't mean we don't care about other people's feelings.
00:11:56.270 --> 00:11:57.890 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: but how we feel
00:11:58.460 --> 00:12:00.700 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: has to take priority for us.
00:12:02.910 --> 00:12:04.690 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and that ultimately
00:12:04.910 --> 00:12:09.980 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: all these things that other people say to us they're mostly projections. Anyway.
00:12:10.200 --> 00:12:12.790 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: they're they're usually somebody
00:12:13.050 --> 00:12:14.020 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: who
00:12:14.080 --> 00:12:22.570 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: maybe knocks us down because they're afraid of being authentic themselves, because they've been made fun of when they were a kid, that it's not safe
00:12:24.380 --> 00:12:27.849 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: to truly express how we really feel about things.
00:12:28.910 --> 00:12:32.619 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And so they're just passing along their own trauma
00:12:34.630 --> 00:12:37.750 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and understanding that up here in our minds.
00:12:39.290 --> 00:12:45.300 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Yeah, that helps that gets us started. That's one thing. But to feel it in our hearts
00:12:45.360 --> 00:12:51.200 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: to get it in our bodies and our nervous system that takes time. That takes practice
00:12:51.350 --> 00:12:52.430 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: that takes
00:12:52.450 --> 00:12:53.390 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: effort.
00:12:56.410 --> 00:12:57.660 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So yes.
00:12:59.140 --> 00:13:00.689 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: we don't just stop
00:13:00.730 --> 00:13:03.510 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: hiding in plain sight in some ways
00:13:04.010 --> 00:13:05.230 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: overnight.
00:13:06.380 --> 00:13:11.440 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: It takes time, it takes effort, it takes courage, it takes reinforcement.
00:13:12.290 --> 00:13:14.019 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: It takes, knowing that
00:13:17.750 --> 00:13:20.450 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: this is the right way to live for us.
00:13:22.910 --> 00:13:23.790 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So
00:13:24.550 --> 00:13:33.569 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: that's my little section. From my book. The section is entitled Our Own Fear causes us to hide our brilliant light.
00:13:33.880 --> 00:13:38.879 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and for me it's really a call out to everyone out there hearing this message
00:13:39.220 --> 00:13:43.420 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: to let your own light shine even just a little bit more Today
00:13:44.100 --> 00:13:45.610 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: it's a new year.
00:13:47.070 --> 00:13:50.850 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Let's let all of our lights shine just a little bit more.
00:13:52.530 --> 00:13:59.509 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and then perhaps we allow it to shine a little bit more the next day and the next day and the next week.
00:14:00.710 --> 00:14:02.300 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and then over
00:14:02.420 --> 00:14:06.430 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: the period of the next 12 months. Maybe we look back and
00:14:06.830 --> 00:14:09.350 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: we're a little surprised at how far we've come.
00:14:10.060 --> 00:14:18.220 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And again that's from my book, Everyday Awakening, which you can get at Www. Dot Everyday Awakening book.com.
00:14:18.800 --> 00:14:32.210 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and of course it's that link will take you to Amazon. But if you're like me, and you love supporting the small local booksellers, please just ask them to order the book. We're in all the major
00:14:32.220 --> 00:14:45.450 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: We're in a major book just through there, so any bookstore can order our book. Just tell them. Ask them, hey, can you get everyday awakening by Samuel Leibowitz by Sam Lee, boy, and they can order it for you.
00:14:47.130 --> 00:14:58.149 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So that's actually and again, you know, I'm just going the next little section in my book. Section by section we're we're more a little bit more than halfway through.
00:14:58.260 --> 00:15:09.670 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Probably will finish the whole thing by the end of the year. Maybe maybe not. Yeah, probably and then I don't know we'll see we'll see what I decide to do after that.
00:15:09.820 --> 00:15:21.100 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So that's a wonderful sort of introduction for our topic today, which is being present to the present moment, because what takes us out of presence more than anything else, and that's fear.
00:15:21.570 --> 00:15:30.969 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And so we'll get into all of that when we come back. You're listening to the conscious consultant hour we do this every week

00:18:24.770 --> 00:18:44.169 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and welcome back to the conscious consultant hour awakening humanity. Thank you for tuning in. I see loyal listener patties with us on our Youtube page up to 111 subscribers on the talk radio. Youtube Page. I'm really grateful for that. we'd love to get that subscribership way way up 150.
00:18:44.180 --> 00:18:58.470 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: we'll have to do a little bit promoting that page, because, you know, we need to get it up there, I think once we hit a 1,000 subscribers like good things start to happen to us on Youtube, so that's going to be my my big push. So
00:18:59.750 --> 00:19:03.750 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: alright, so we did a little section from my book every day, awakening
00:19:03.770 --> 00:19:05.310 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: in the first segment.
00:19:06.870 --> 00:19:07.880 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And
00:19:08.010 --> 00:19:09.739 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: now to get into
00:19:09.790 --> 00:19:15.150 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: a real topic of the day, and maybe it's going to be the theme for the year overall.
00:19:16.220 --> 00:19:19.180 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and that's talking about presence.
00:19:20.270 --> 00:19:22.069 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: What does it mean
00:19:22.470 --> 00:19:25.949 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: to be present? And i'm and presence when I talk about presence.
00:19:26.380 --> 00:19:33.029 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I'm not necessarily talking about, you know. When someone steps into a room and you feel their presence. It's like, Well, look at that kind.
00:19:33.690 --> 00:19:36.819 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: It's not what I talk about. When I talk about presence
00:19:37.680 --> 00:19:39.600 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I talk about presence.
00:19:41.740 --> 00:19:43.860 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: It's really about
00:19:45.570 --> 00:19:46.610 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: how
00:19:49.150 --> 00:19:50.460 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: aware
00:19:52.450 --> 00:19:53.360 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: how.
00:19:53.680 --> 00:19:57.659 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: with someone we are in a given moment.
00:20:01.580 --> 00:20:03.629 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and the way we show up.
00:20:04.260 --> 00:20:07.239 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and it actually does give us presence. But
00:20:07.920 --> 00:20:10.860 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: the way we show up in a given moment.
00:20:12.100 --> 00:20:15.580 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: It makes a huge difference.
00:20:18.630 --> 00:20:20.950 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and it's interesting how
00:20:22.220 --> 00:20:24.340 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: it's so important.
00:20:24.620 --> 00:20:29.090 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Yet there are so many things in life today
00:20:29.170 --> 00:20:32.160 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: to take us out of presence.
00:20:34.450 --> 00:20:36.700 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I mean technology for one.
00:20:37.310 --> 00:20:44.600 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I mean, now that we have these smartphones and computers that are tiny, we can carry around with us. I mean God, these
00:20:44.760 --> 00:20:54.289 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: computers we have today are like more powerful than the most powerful computer that was in existence in the 1960 S. Or seventies or eighties.
00:20:56.410 --> 00:21:05.399 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And this technology. And again, I love technology. I mean, Don't get me wrong. I am not against technology in general.
00:21:05.590 --> 00:21:09.390 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: A technology, I believe, is just a very powerful tool.
00:21:11.200 --> 00:21:13.370 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: But it all depends how we use it.
00:21:14.460 --> 00:21:16.189 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And what's happened
00:21:16.500 --> 00:21:19.759 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: over the last several years, probably over the last
00:21:20.150 --> 00:21:21.240 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: decade
00:21:22.140 --> 00:21:23.819 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: for more 2 decades.
00:21:26.720 --> 00:21:30.419 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Is that the way technology has been used.
00:21:30.520 --> 00:21:32.429 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and the way it's sort of
00:21:32.850 --> 00:21:36.039 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: become ubiquitous in society
00:21:37.800 --> 00:21:42.240 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: is, it is serve to take our attention away to something else
00:21:43.850 --> 00:21:44.630 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: that
00:21:44.710 --> 00:21:45.430 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: but
00:21:46.110 --> 00:21:52.840 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: little vibration we get from our phone or the ding, or that little notification whether it's
00:21:52.900 --> 00:22:02.230 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: someone sending us a text messages, someone commenting about us on Facebook or Twitter, or Instagram, or Tik Tok.
00:22:03.510 --> 00:22:08.650 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Every single time we get one of these notifications about something.
00:22:08.750 --> 00:22:11.760 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: whether it's about us or just in general.
00:22:14.630 --> 00:22:18.220 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: These notifications take us out of the present moment.
00:22:19.700 --> 00:22:21.460 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: We could be with someone
00:22:22.140 --> 00:22:25.259 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: we could be with someone we actually care a lot about.
00:22:26.050 --> 00:22:31.449 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And then suddenly our phone vibrates, we look at it, and we got to go check. What? What is it? What's going on?
00:22:35.590 --> 00:22:46.620 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And while doing that once in a while, you know it's not necessarily a bad thing, especially if you're expecting to hear from somebody about something important.
00:22:49.850 --> 00:22:52.889 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Ultimately, the habit
00:22:53.010 --> 00:22:57.569 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: of it being repeated over and over and over again
00:22:59.970 --> 00:23:02.999 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: creates this pattern within us
00:23:03.300 --> 00:23:05.000 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: that takes us out
00:23:05.250 --> 00:23:07.420 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: of this present moment.
00:23:09.420 --> 00:23:13.649 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Suddenly we we don't notice. The person we're with anymore.
00:23:14.520 --> 00:23:20.919 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Or or maybe we're eating a meal, and we're not tasting our food because we're paying attention to our phone all the time.
00:23:23.380 --> 00:23:35.970 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And while it's great that now we can be in communication with family and friends around the globe. In an instance, I mean that's that's remarkable, considering where we've come from.
00:23:36.760 --> 00:23:38.780 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I mean, this is something that
00:23:39.450 --> 00:23:43.499 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: people could not have even imagined a 100 years ago.
00:23:46.800 --> 00:23:49.230 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So there is a good thing about it.
00:23:52.310 --> 00:24:03.400 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: however, when we allow it to be our masters instead of our servant. The technology no longer serves us. We're serving the technology.
00:24:04.850 --> 00:24:07.419 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and that's where the challenge comes in.
00:24:07.840 --> 00:24:09.810 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: We've seceded
00:24:10.050 --> 00:24:13.449 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: our agency. We've seceded
00:24:13.660 --> 00:24:14.770 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: our
00:24:16.360 --> 00:24:18.020 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: authority
00:24:18.210 --> 00:24:20.210 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: to these devices.
00:24:21.170 --> 00:24:23.000 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and we allow them
00:24:23.580 --> 00:24:25.780 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: to rule our life.
00:24:28.230 --> 00:24:34.270 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and by doing that they're just constantly pulling us out of presence, constantly pulling us out constantly pulling us out.
00:24:34.550 --> 00:24:45.459 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And these apps, and and you know it's it's come out in many articles. Many people talk about the algorithms they come up with, and I mean these companies.
00:24:45.550 --> 00:24:51.889 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: They spend millions and millions of dollars a year trying to figure out how do we get People's attention?
00:24:52.270 --> 00:24:56.199 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Because ultimately they're all built on an advertising model.
00:24:56.510 --> 00:25:02.590 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: because every time you look at it you may see a post of from a friend, but then there's an AD right next to it.
00:25:03.640 --> 00:25:08.860 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: right? So it's all about getting you to pay attention ultimately to the AD.
00:25:09.340 --> 00:25:16.220 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: But the more engaged they keep you, the more they pull your attention into the ha! The more money they make. That's what it's all about.
00:25:17.390 --> 00:25:27.410 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: You know. Some people think it's some evil tyrannical scheme of these. You know, diabolical evil cabal to enslave us.
00:25:28.670 --> 00:25:34.959 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I don't know I i'm i'm a bit skeptical of that kind of thing. I I think it's just very very simple.
00:25:35.380 --> 00:25:37.149 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: It's all about money.
00:25:37.980 --> 00:25:53.140 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: because in this society this consumer is society society. We have it. It's money is like the be all, and end all the more money you have, the more powerful you are, the more influential you are, and it's like it's all about making more money.
00:25:53.280 --> 00:25:59.539 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So these companies they're all about making money. So when they do something, they're doing something for the profit motive.
00:26:01.410 --> 00:26:05.920 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And so it's more profitable for them to take you out of presence.
00:26:08.880 --> 00:26:13.040 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and so they continually do it as much as they possibly can.
00:26:13.880 --> 00:26:18.910 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and in order to come back and be in the present moment.
00:26:19.520 --> 00:26:21.470 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: it is up to us
00:26:24.580 --> 00:26:28.700 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: to make the choice and the decision to ignore it.
00:26:28.840 --> 00:26:33.300 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: to turn off those notifications, to turn off our phones
00:26:33.980 --> 00:26:40.779 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and look, i'm not saying we have to live with our phones off all the time. I mean, the whole purpose of them is to be able to communicate.
00:26:42.330 --> 00:26:44.689 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: but to do it mindfully.
00:26:45.440 --> 00:26:47.440 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: to do it with purpose
00:26:49.640 --> 00:26:51.210 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: to do it consciously.
00:26:53.970 --> 00:27:08.189 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and sometimes we can kind of consciously say, you know what i'm going to be distracted. I'm not going to be present right now. I'm. I'm not feeling so good. I got all these things on my mind. I just need to be distracted for a little bit.
00:27:08.540 --> 00:27:09.899 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: It's okay.
00:27:10.160 --> 00:27:16.250 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: as long as we're aware of that's what we're doing, and it's a choice and not a default.
00:27:19.310 --> 00:27:22.539 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: because that's where a real power is.
00:27:22.800 --> 00:27:24.489 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: is in our choice.
00:27:27.200 --> 00:27:31.149 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And so, while i'm not saying anything is inherently wrong.
00:27:33.660 --> 00:27:38.549 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: what i'm saying is when we make the choice to be more present.
00:27:40.290 --> 00:27:43.560 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: that it serves us in our life
00:27:43.650 --> 00:27:45.959 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: in a tremendous way.
00:27:46.000 --> 00:27:49.399 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: in ways we couldn't have even thought of.
00:27:53.420 --> 00:27:56.520 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: because in this present moment
00:27:56.860 --> 00:28:00.530 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: there is so much gold to be had.
00:28:02.560 --> 00:28:04.119 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and i'll talk about
00:28:04.140 --> 00:28:06.050 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: what that gold is.
00:28:07.630 --> 00:28:20.279 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and additionally, why presence is so important. We've talked about all these things take us out of presence. But ultimately there's one more thing I I I there's one more thing that I really have to talk about.

00:28:21.480 --> 00:28:26.199 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: what ultimately ultimately ultimately takes us out of presence.

I will have guests from next week moving on, but I always like to kind of start off the New year just me, and you just us talking about something. And so today.
00:31:34.270 --> 00:31:38.139 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: being it's my first show for 2023
00:31:38.160 --> 00:31:42.069 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: it really important topic. I'm talking about.
00:31:42.430 --> 00:31:49.000 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and that's presence and being present to the present moment. And and last, I, when I really talked about
00:31:49.380 --> 00:31:54.789 what those things are that pull us out of presence, technology being such a key one.
00:31:56.120 --> 00:31:59.239 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: But ultimately, fundamentally, there's something
00:31:59.930 --> 00:32:02.979 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: even more important that takes us out of presence.
00:32:03.760 --> 00:32:05.170 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and that's something
00:32:05.990 --> 00:32:07.920 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: when we unwind it
00:32:08.410 --> 00:32:10.070 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: when we process it.
00:32:10.110 --> 00:32:12.020 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: When we work our way through it.
00:32:13.180 --> 00:32:17.240 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: little by little we become more and more present each and every day.
00:32:18.180 --> 00:32:20.429 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and that is our own trauma.
00:32:21.510 --> 00:32:23.430 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: You see ultimately
00:32:23.890 --> 00:32:29.059 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: why we don't feel safe. To be here in the present moment
00:32:29.500 --> 00:32:32.219 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: is because sometime in our life.
00:32:33.100 --> 00:32:40.649 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: typically, when we're very young babies, you know, less than a year old, the year old, 2 years old, 3 years old.
00:32:41.850 --> 00:32:43.829 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Something happened.
00:32:45.310 --> 00:32:48.360 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: It could have been intentional. It could have been unintentional
00:32:48.630 --> 00:32:52.120 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: could have been directed at us, it might not have been directed at us.
00:32:53.000 --> 00:32:56.530 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: It could have been just something that we witnessed.
00:32:57.150 --> 00:33:01.979 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: or something that we experienced ourselves that we felt ourselves.
00:33:03.080 --> 00:33:08.270 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: because, especially as little kids, we are so so so sensitive
00:33:09.030 --> 00:33:14.719 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: that even a loud noise, someone screaming at someone else a door slamming shot.
00:33:16.420 --> 00:33:19.299 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: some vibration. Something
00:33:20.530 --> 00:33:23.970 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: could have made us feel tremendously unsafe.
00:33:25.860 --> 00:33:32.129 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: It could have been even just being left alone when we needed. Some kind of comfort
00:33:33.240 --> 00:33:35.219 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: could have been that neglect.
00:33:37.000 --> 00:33:39.299 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: or it could have been active abuse.
00:33:40.870 --> 00:33:42.640 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: But that trauma
00:33:44.520 --> 00:33:47.930 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: is in our nervous system until we've
00:33:48.310 --> 00:33:50.279 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: processed it unwind it.
00:33:50.700 --> 00:33:52.250 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and that trauma
00:33:53.420 --> 00:33:56.300 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: tells us it's not safe to be here now.
00:33:58.520 --> 00:34:02.390 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And actually, if you've ever known somebody who's
00:34:02.560 --> 00:34:04.190 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: disassociates
00:34:04.310 --> 00:34:12.319 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: a lot which this association is like just going out of the body like not even being present, not knowing what's going on around you.
00:34:13.260 --> 00:34:18.859 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Inevitably those people have experienced tremendous trauma at some point in their life
00:34:19.699 --> 00:34:23.510 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: where it was tremendously unsafe for them to be here now.
00:34:29.300 --> 00:34:30.409 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and
00:34:31.060 --> 00:34:32.600 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: that is, when
00:34:34.889 --> 00:34:37.320 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: we learn not to be present.
00:34:38.739 --> 00:34:42.799 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and that is ultimately what truly takes us out of presence.
00:34:44.300 --> 00:34:46.129 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And so, while
00:34:46.810 --> 00:34:48.879 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: diving into our trauma.
00:34:49.389 --> 00:34:53.110 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: feeling that pain again, so that we can release it.
00:34:53.960 --> 00:34:59.349 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: working with a guide or a facilitator who can help us with some modality
00:34:59.430 --> 00:35:05.669 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: to to let go of energy. We don't even know we're holding on to. Why, that's so important.
00:35:08.150 --> 00:35:15.150 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And as we and again, not an overnight thing, it's not like boom. I've released my trauma, i'm present now. No.
00:35:15.700 --> 00:35:21.180 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: there are levels and layers, and over and over again we dig in deep.
00:35:21.800 --> 00:35:28.760 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: We release a little bit, and then a little bit more, and a little bit more, and a little bit more and a little bit more.
00:35:30.550 --> 00:35:38.910 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And so over time we're developing a practice of being a little more. Present, a little more present a little more present
00:35:38.930 --> 00:35:40.610 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: little more present.
00:35:43.200 --> 00:35:45.240 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and that practice
00:35:46.060 --> 00:35:47.520 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: ultimately
00:35:47.860 --> 00:35:49.909 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: is what gives us back
00:35:50.000 --> 00:35:57.510 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: our agency. It's what gives us back our self-confidence. It will give us back our so forth.
00:35:58.810 --> 00:36:01.090 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: because, as we learn
00:36:01.220 --> 00:36:03.779 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: to be in this present moment, more
00:36:05.010 --> 00:36:06.700 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: as we learn
00:36:08.710 --> 00:36:11.189 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: to have the courage
00:36:11.330 --> 00:36:12.859 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: to face
00:36:13.280 --> 00:36:15.129 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: whatever it was
00:36:15.300 --> 00:36:18.209 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: that taught us not to be present in the past.
00:36:19.010 --> 00:36:25.119 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: whether it was physical abuse, sexual abuse, psychological abuse, emotional abuse.
00:36:27.500 --> 00:36:30.519 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: whether it was a trauma from an accident.
00:36:30.670 --> 00:36:33.479 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: trauma from a natural disaster.
00:36:36.140 --> 00:36:38.760 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: or maybe just the trauma of
00:36:38.780 --> 00:36:42.009 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: being neglected and left alone for hours.
00:36:43.150 --> 00:36:45.489 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: when you really needed something.
00:36:49.560 --> 00:36:57.099 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: As we continue to dive into that as we continue to unwind, that as we continue to do our deep inner work.
00:36:59.080 --> 00:37:00.310 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: suddenly.
00:37:00.500 --> 00:37:02.990 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: slowly, little by little.
00:37:03.530 --> 00:37:06.490 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: we start becoming more and more present.
00:37:07.110 --> 00:37:10.250 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: because now our nervous system is saying, oh.
00:37:11.140 --> 00:37:14.829 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: okay, maybe it is all right to be here now.
00:37:15.840 --> 00:37:18.750 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Maybe I can
00:37:19.330 --> 00:37:21.789 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: be present, and i'm not going to feel pain.
00:37:23.510 --> 00:37:26.269 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and as we experience more presence.
00:37:27.230 --> 00:37:29.830 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: we actually start to feel more joy.
00:37:30.370 --> 00:37:31.740 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: more bliss.
00:37:34.570 --> 00:37:37.369 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and real, true Presence
00:37:38.270 --> 00:37:41.320 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: can take a single moment
00:37:42.190 --> 00:37:44.229 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and stretch it out
00:37:44.470 --> 00:37:48.689 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: so it feels like minutes instead of seconds
00:37:48.710 --> 00:37:51.149 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: or hours instead of minutes.
00:37:54.470 --> 00:37:58.410 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: It never ceases to amaze me. How much
00:37:59.200 --> 00:38:03.169 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: presence really slows down light.
00:38:05.660 --> 00:38:09.539 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and that's one of the greatest gifts of presence.
00:38:10.710 --> 00:38:14.819 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: because ultimately all we really have
00:38:15.010 --> 00:38:18.170 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: is this present moment.
00:38:18.630 --> 00:38:20.489 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Is any present moment.
00:38:22.010 --> 00:38:24.090 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: because once it's gone, it's gone.
00:38:24.860 --> 00:38:28.120 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Future Hasn't arrived. Yet the past already happened.
00:38:28.610 --> 00:38:33.560 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: All we have is where we are right here right now.
00:38:35.550 --> 00:38:40.880 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and the more we pay attention to what's happening right here
00:38:40.920 --> 00:38:42.209 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: right now.
00:38:43.340 --> 00:38:46.049 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: The richer our life is.
00:38:47.660 --> 00:38:49.290 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: the fuller
00:38:49.310 --> 00:38:51.500 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: our experiences.
00:38:51.880 --> 00:38:53.700 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: the more deeply
00:38:55.030 --> 00:38:58.039 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: we can appreciate another human being
00:38:58.300 --> 00:39:00.169 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: or being in nature.
00:39:00.390 --> 00:39:04.019 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: or the wonder of a sunrise or a sunset.
00:39:05.100 --> 00:39:07.759 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: the beauty of a great work of art.
00:39:10.220 --> 00:39:12.970 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: the emotive power of music.
00:39:16.150 --> 00:39:20.250 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: The more present we are to this moment
00:39:20.610 --> 00:39:23.529 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: the more we actually feel
00:39:23.850 --> 00:39:24.930 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: in life
00:39:27.460 --> 00:39:31.560 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: because that's one of the biggest things that we lose
00:39:32.650 --> 00:39:35.080 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: when we get taken out of presence.
00:39:35.820 --> 00:39:36.970 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: We stopped
00:39:37.030 --> 00:39:45.320 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: feeling what it's like to be here in a body on a planet, as my dear friend Jennifer Huff would say.
00:39:48.390 --> 00:39:51.410 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: we're all here for a reason.
00:39:51.730 --> 00:39:54.899 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and that reason is to live. Light
00:39:56.260 --> 00:39:59.399 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: is to experience what we are experiencing.
00:40:00.200 --> 00:40:02.689 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: to learn and grow.
00:40:06.170 --> 00:40:07.879 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and ultimately
00:40:08.570 --> 00:40:10.299 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: my belief is.
00:40:11.060 --> 00:40:13.910 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: it's to learn how to be so
00:40:13.930 --> 00:40:14.930 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: present
00:40:15.260 --> 00:40:17.670 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: that we notice everything.
00:40:19.030 --> 00:40:21.700 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: We notice this scent in the air.
00:40:22.260 --> 00:40:26.960 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: We notice the temperature on our skin from the air moving around us.
00:40:27.120 --> 00:40:30.919 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: The sounds maybe they're even happening in the other room.
00:40:33.620 --> 00:40:38.660 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: the presence of another human being, even if they are millions of miles away.
00:40:40.620 --> 00:40:41.740 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I wonder
00:40:41.900 --> 00:40:44.399 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: how many of you listening to this
00:40:44.780 --> 00:40:46.419 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: broadcast to this
00:40:46.490 --> 00:40:47.580 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: show
00:40:47.920 --> 00:40:49.689 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: in this moment
00:40:50.750 --> 00:40:55.279 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: How present are you to the things i'm saying?
00:40:56.930 --> 00:41:00.309 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Are the things i'm saying, resonating with you.
00:41:02.480 --> 00:41:06.379 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: or is it, too, out there. Is it, too, beyond your experience?
00:41:06.930 --> 00:41:10.019 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Or maybe you just disagree with me, hey? Great!
00:41:14.680 --> 00:41:16.979 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: What do you notice
00:41:17.050 --> 00:41:22.769 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: in this present moment? What Are you feeling in this present moment?
00:41:24.870 --> 00:41:27.970 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Are you hot? Are you warm? Are you cold?
00:41:30.590 --> 00:41:34.969 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Are you nervous? Are you anxious? Are you calm? Are you peaceful?
00:41:36.270 --> 00:41:37.629 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Where are you
00:41:37.970 --> 00:41:39.169 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: right now?
00:41:41.840 --> 00:41:45.219 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: What is going on in your life right now?
00:41:45.410 --> 00:41:47.149 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: What are you not
00:41:47.220 --> 00:41:50.120 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: being present to in your life
00:41:50.180 --> 00:41:54.150 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Because it's too uncomfortable to be present to it.
00:41:55.590 --> 00:42:00.030 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And what amazing things in your life are you being present to?
00:42:01.620 --> 00:42:03.230 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: You See, that's the thing.
00:42:03.790 --> 00:42:07.050 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: There are amazing, wonderful things in our life.
00:42:07.630 --> 00:42:12.519 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and if we get in the habit of not being present to our life.
00:42:12.830 --> 00:42:15.650 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: we miss all that good stuff, too.
00:42:19.490 --> 00:42:20.790 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And so
00:42:20.890 --> 00:42:22.890 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: what do you notice.
00:42:25.250 --> 00:42:29.690 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: What can you be Just a little bit more present to right now.
00:42:31.430 --> 00:42:33.610 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: even if it's something uncomfortable.
00:42:34.850 --> 00:42:40.349 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and if it's something pleasing, if it's something that makes you feel good, wonderful.
00:42:42.450 --> 00:42:46.340 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: But even being present to the uncomfortable stuff
00:42:47.230 --> 00:42:49.569 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: is better than being checked out.
00:42:50.080 --> 00:42:53.079 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: it's better than disassociating. It's better than
00:42:53.120 --> 00:42:55.179 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: being off somewhere else.
00:43:02.840 --> 00:43:05.850 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: You see, being present to the present moment.
00:43:06.490 --> 00:43:13.020 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: it's not always about experiencing joy and bliss and wonder and awe.
00:43:15.000 --> 00:43:18.390 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: although it's much easier to be present to those things.
00:43:19.630 --> 00:43:23.019 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: But when we can allow ourselves to be present
00:43:23.770 --> 00:43:26.289 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: to the gut, wrenching pain
00:43:27.010 --> 00:43:30.480 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: to the turmoil inside of us, to the grief.
00:43:30.510 --> 00:43:31.929 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: to the loss
00:43:34.230 --> 00:43:36.690 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: to the anguish we feel
00:43:38.460 --> 00:43:41.659 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: at least being present to it. We know where a lie
00:43:41.900 --> 00:43:43.680 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: we know we're here.
00:43:44.950 --> 00:43:49.389 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: There's a gift in it, even though we may not be able to see that gift.
00:43:53.100 --> 00:43:56.390 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and in that way presence is a two-edged sword.
00:43:59.680 --> 00:44:03.580 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: But at least if we're more present to those painful.
00:44:03.910 --> 00:44:06.649 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: uncomfortable feelings.
00:44:07.190 --> 00:44:11.539 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: We can be that much more present to the joy and the wonder
00:44:12.440 --> 00:44:13.659 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and the love
00:44:13.900 --> 00:44:15.919 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: that can be present in our life.
00:44:20.010 --> 00:44:22.860 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So that is the real gift of presence.

00:48:14.440 --> 00:48:16.190 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: that I find people
00:48:16.730 --> 00:48:18.659 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: often don't realize
00:48:19.420 --> 00:48:20.399 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: about
00:48:21.560 --> 00:48:26.610 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: what really is is one of the biggest benefits of presence
00:48:28.850 --> 00:48:31.950 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: besides just living a more full life.
00:48:35.130 --> 00:48:37.490 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: You see, when we're really present.
00:48:42.380 --> 00:48:44.480 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: we are able to
00:48:46.200 --> 00:48:47.529 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: actually
00:48:47.840 --> 00:48:51.390 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: notice a lot more in our environment.
00:48:52.460 --> 00:48:53.660 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: We're much
00:48:53.870 --> 00:48:55.399 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: better able
00:48:55.540 --> 00:48:58.149 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: to respond to what's going on
00:48:58.310 --> 00:48:59.649 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: in the moment.
00:49:01.950 --> 00:49:03.639 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So, for instance.
00:49:04.460 --> 00:49:06.779 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: in an extreme situation
00:49:07.350 --> 00:49:09.279 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: being truly present.
00:49:09.760 --> 00:49:13.819 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: like, let's say, we're in an accident, car accident or something.
00:49:15.160 --> 00:49:17.310 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: The more present we are.
00:49:17.760 --> 00:49:22.960 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: the more we're able to make a good decision about what we should do.
00:49:23.660 --> 00:49:26.170 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: whether it's to move or not move
00:49:26.530 --> 00:49:28.239 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: to help someone else
00:49:28.450 --> 00:49:30.989 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: to get someone out of a burning building
00:49:31.020 --> 00:49:33.570 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: to move over to the side of the road.
00:49:36.220 --> 00:49:38.289 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: When we really present
00:49:38.330 --> 00:49:40.990 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: we're better able to assess
00:49:41.330 --> 00:49:45.369 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: the environment and everything that's going on around us
00:49:46.430 --> 00:49:49.470 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: to be able to make a choice, a decision
00:49:52.310 --> 00:49:56.799 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: that if we weren't so present, we wouldn't be able to make.
00:49:58.350 --> 00:50:01.630 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: It's very common when people go into shock
00:50:02.270 --> 00:50:06.759 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: like when there's been a terrorist incident and a bomb goes off for something.
00:50:06.840 --> 00:50:09.469 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and people are in shock in the moment.
00:50:09.830 --> 00:50:16.519 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and they don't know what to do, and they could be sitting right in front of something about the collapse on them.
00:50:17.400 --> 00:50:22.410 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and it's the person who's really present in the moment, who grabs them and moves them over
00:50:22.600 --> 00:50:26.060 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: to keep them from having even further trauma
00:50:28.610 --> 00:50:30.350 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: so being present.
00:50:30.510 --> 00:50:32.089 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: especially
00:50:32.120 --> 00:50:35.180 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: when there's something difficult for us to deal with
00:50:35.510 --> 00:50:36.809 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: helps us
00:50:36.950 --> 00:50:37.939 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: to make
00:50:38.140 --> 00:50:40.770 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: a better choice, a better decision.
00:50:42.470 --> 00:50:45.200 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Now, that's a very extreme example.
00:50:46.620 --> 00:50:49.450 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: A presence, even in daily life
00:50:50.500 --> 00:50:52.280 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: helps us so much.
00:50:52.730 --> 00:50:54.490 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I live in New York City.
00:50:55.270 --> 00:50:59.920 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So one of the things you learn to be is very present when you're writing the subway.
00:51:00.080 --> 00:51:04.110 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Who else is around? Who's writing the subway car? Who's on the platform?
00:51:06.110 --> 00:51:08.289 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And so the more present we are.
00:51:08.770 --> 00:51:13.959 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: the more we could avoid possibly difficult or dangerous situation.
00:51:17.740 --> 00:51:20.529 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: But even in a less
00:51:20.760 --> 00:51:23.450 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: dangerous type of situation.
00:51:25.090 --> 00:51:30.859 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: let's say we're we're working at our job, and there's a a meeting of our department.
00:51:32.110 --> 00:51:36.959 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and there's some talk going on about a project, and maybe because it's
00:51:37.120 --> 00:51:43.299 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: It's it's not on schedule or over budget or something. And people talking about? Why is this happening and this and that?
00:51:46.220 --> 00:51:50.060 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: The person who is most present in that moment
00:51:51.060 --> 00:51:52.450 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: actually
00:51:52.530 --> 00:51:54.450 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: has the most power
00:51:54.680 --> 00:51:56.419 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: to influence
00:51:57.910 --> 00:52:02.089 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: the movement or the situation of what's going on.
00:52:03.350 --> 00:52:05.949 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: because the person who's truly present
00:52:06.440 --> 00:52:07.819 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: might notice
00:52:08.540 --> 00:52:10.359 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: who around the table
00:52:11.090 --> 00:52:12.420 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: has a nervous
00:52:12.630 --> 00:52:14.120 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: twitch, or something?
00:52:14.950 --> 00:52:18.130 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Who's who's falling asleep
00:52:18.200 --> 00:52:25.330 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: who's totally unengaged because they're thinking about something else? Who's on their phone? Who's shaking their leg?
00:52:27.320 --> 00:52:29.510 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Who is trying to hide something
00:52:29.980 --> 00:52:32.070 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: when we're really present
00:52:32.210 --> 00:52:34.690 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: to the way people are showing up.
00:52:35.530 --> 00:52:37.959 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Then we can speak to
00:52:39.010 --> 00:52:40.729 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: what's actually
00:52:40.770 --> 00:52:43.209 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: causing them to be that way.
00:52:44.090 --> 00:52:47.140 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And now we can influence that meeting
00:52:47.180 --> 00:52:49.860 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: to move in a more positive direction.
00:52:53.280 --> 00:52:58.770 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Maybe we see that people are worried about, you know, getting blamed for something.
00:52:59.710 --> 00:53:02.650 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So we interject. And we say something like.
00:53:02.760 --> 00:53:08.279 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: you know this is not about blaming anybody. This is about finding a solution and moving forward.
00:53:10.850 --> 00:53:14.009 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And then suddenly, you see everyone relax a little bit.
00:53:14.850 --> 00:53:20.500 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and now you can get them to be more engaged in the moment and give different ideas.
00:53:21.270 --> 00:53:25.199 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and ultimately find what you really need. That solution.
00:53:26.000 --> 00:53:32.359 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: That's just a small example. Or maybe you're going on an interview. Maybe you're looking to change your job.
00:53:32.800 --> 00:53:35.779 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: The more present you are to the Interviewer.
00:53:36.460 --> 00:53:37.979 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: You may be. Notice
00:53:38.170 --> 00:53:42.569 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: which questions they're asking that they're paying more attention to than others.
00:53:43.170 --> 00:53:46.660 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So then, you know, to pay more attention to those answers
00:53:48.830 --> 00:53:52.830 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: you see in so many different situations.
00:53:53.930 --> 00:53:55.930 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: True presence
00:53:56.000 --> 00:53:57.430 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: is our power.
00:53:59.220 --> 00:54:00.880 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: It's our ability
00:54:01.160 --> 00:54:03.870 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: to see more clearly
00:54:03.910 --> 00:54:07.990 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: what is going on in the present moment.
00:54:10.820 --> 00:54:13.729 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: that we then know so much better
00:54:15.370 --> 00:54:21.950 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: how to change, what to say, how to pivot what we, who we need to comfort, where we need to go.
00:54:24.660 --> 00:54:27.080 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So all that work we did
00:54:27.570 --> 00:54:29.810 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: to unravel our trauma.
00:54:30.790 --> 00:54:32.479 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: to
00:54:32.720 --> 00:54:33.930 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: change
00:54:35.080 --> 00:54:41.989 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: how we're showing up in the world, and doing that deep inner work that can be so uncomfortable.
00:54:44.850 --> 00:54:50.440 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: All of that work to help us to be more present serves us in so many ways.
00:54:52.220 --> 00:55:04.580 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and if you're the type of person listening to the show, and maybe who who serves other people. Maybe you're a coach or a healer, or a consultant, or somebody who speaker train is someone who works with people.
00:55:06.020 --> 00:55:08.580 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: If you're if you're in that line of work.
00:55:08.750 --> 00:55:12.349 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: then presence is your greatest ally.
00:55:13.440 --> 00:55:17.889 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: because, being present to how people are responding to you.
00:55:18.440 --> 00:55:25.410 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: to to how they respond to certain words you use, or certain phrases you say.
00:55:26.170 --> 00:55:29.479 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: that gives you so much information
00:55:29.630 --> 00:55:34.249 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: that you can truly help people on such a deeper level.
00:55:35.390 --> 00:55:42.060 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And this is Why, being present to the present moment, where everything is happening.
00:55:44.680 --> 00:55:49.200 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: if there's no other skill we master, if we can master that
00:55:50.580 --> 00:55:53.339 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: being present to this present moment.
00:55:53.610 --> 00:55:55.440 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: if we can truly
00:55:55.480 --> 00:56:00.209 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: be grounded in the present moment, and know what's going on, and be aware
00:56:00.520 --> 00:56:12.820 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: that one skill will serve us more than any other skill, any other strategy, anything else we can possibly learn, because presence is the foundation
00:56:14.040 --> 00:56:16.130 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: of everything else we do.
00:56:19.450 --> 00:56:23.449 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And so what I would like to leave you with this week
00:56:26.560 --> 00:56:30.869 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: is to just find some practice for yourself.
00:56:32.000 --> 00:56:35.479 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: That helps you to be more present.
00:56:36.760 --> 00:56:39.040 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Maybe it's sitting in meditating.
00:56:39.680 --> 00:56:44.040 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Maybe it's just taking a little bit of time and staring out the window.
00:56:45.380 --> 00:56:57.530 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: You know, when I was a kid in in elementary school I used to. Teacher was talking, and i'd be bored. I'd be staring out the window, watching the pitches on the windowsill in the on the building across the hallway.
00:56:59.760 --> 00:57:01.279 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: That was a daydreamer.
00:57:03.840 --> 00:57:13.360 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: It's sometimes daydreaming is what we need to really see some intricate little detail of life that we would have otherwise otherwise missed.
00:57:14.470 --> 00:57:16.090 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So I implore you.
00:57:17.540 --> 00:57:20.640 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: find some practice
00:57:20.950 --> 00:57:22.960 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: that works for you.
00:57:23.160 --> 00:57:28.189 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Maybe it's exercising. Maybe it's cooking, whatever it is.
00:57:29.120 --> 00:57:30.270 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: practice
00:57:30.290 --> 00:57:32.109 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: being present.
00:57:32.900 --> 00:57:36.919 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And notice what takes you out of presence.
00:57:37.160 --> 00:57:42.700 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: because that is gold when you can find the things that take you out of presence.
00:57:43.040 --> 00:57:45.559 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: That's where your real work is.
00:57:45.980 --> 00:57:47.359 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: That's where
00:57:48.280 --> 00:57:52.479 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: you really have an opportunity to deep, deep into something
00:57:52.920 --> 00:57:56.779 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: that can help you. Unwind decades, old trauma.
