Sensing the presence

​When you’re in difficult emotions, try the RAIN meditation: Recognize what is happening. Allow what you are feeling to be here without judging it or trying to fix it. Investigate where the emotions live inside you, in your body. Nurture what you are feeling. After the RAIN: Take some moments in stillness, simply sensing the quality of presence that has unfolded.” - Tara Brach, psychotherapist and meditation teacher
“Meditation is the key for opening the doors of mysteries. In this state we withdraw  from outside objects. In this subjective mood we are immersed in the ocean of spiritual life and can unfold the secrets of things-in-themselves.”
- Abdu’l-Bahá, head of the Baháʼí Faith
Affirmative prayer: In prayer and meditation, I court the presence of the Infinite. In the stillness, I remember that Life is for me, that I am held close to Its heart, and that the very core of my being cannot be harmed or endangered. Thank you, God, forever. Amen.
