InnerSelf Daily Inspiration August 1, 2026 Being Here Now: Lessons from Spiritual Encounters By Lynne Sedgmore “Receiving a powerful transmission of presence is hard to describe yet tangible, leaving a lasting impression. We sense a palpable eminence from within and around the person of presence. Something we can sense and feel yet not literally see.” — Lynne Sedgmore Being Here Now is being fully in this moment with our whole being and attention. It is a state without the influence of any sense of the past or the future. It is a timelessness within the immediacy of now. A state in which we are free to be present to whatever is happening or arising, internally and externally, in an exact moment. Presence has no form or specific location even though we recognise presence through ourselves or another person embodying and transmitting presence. When a person embodies presence, someone else, just by being in their physical proximity, can receive a direct transmission of presence through them. One of my first and most profound experiences of receiving a presence transmission happened in Frankfurt while meeting with Mother Meera, a Hindu teacher, who transmits through her silent presence without any exchange of words. When I kneel before her, and she gazes into my eyes I am looking into the river and flow of the universe. I am filled with love. I feel purified, clean, washed. All my boundaries have disappeared, and I am flowing within a benign, loving, powerful and palpable energy.

Presence Activism moves activism beyond metaphors of war and destruction into the visceral knowing of presence and interconnection. This book is a compendium of different perspectives and experiences of presence, as well as a powerful conceptual analysis of the fields of presence, climate anxiety, and climate peril.
