“As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others”

– Marianne Williamson

We are often influenced by the presence of others. When we are in the presence of someone who is confidently fearless it often has a calming impact on us.  When a person has a certain confidence we feel it in their very presence. We may feel an overwhelming feeling of peace, love, leadership, spirituality being emitted from a person.

When we feel this, what exactly are we feeling?  If the person has some form of celebrity, such as the Dali Lama, a person like Albert Einstein or Mother Theresa we may at first be feeling the expectation of being in the presence of a famous person, however as that fades away we feel the true presence of the person. What we really feel at this point is their presence, which is the emission of their energy. This energy which is emitted is very powerful, powerful to the point where we change how we feel and even act. We feel strangely better in the presence of people like this. We feel more relaxed, more loved, more confident, more spiritual, etc, simply because we are receiving the positive energy that is being emitted.

We find that we love to be in the presence of people like this because of how much better we feel when we are with them. We may even become more motivated to more like them, our creative energies may open up and be freer flowing. We tend to want to become a better version of us, simply because of how we feel when we are with them!

The most fantastic thing about this is that you and I have the same ability to have the power of presence. This power of presence is not limited to certain people, it is available to all of us. In fact, weather we realize it or not we always have a presence, the difference between each of us is the degree of presence that we have.

I am amazed daily by the power that each of one us has, and even more amazed by the impact that we have on others.

When we are confident, fearless, full of love and or peace, we transmit that energy to everything and everybody around us. We attract people who are in need of that form of energy and we attract people who have a similar level of that energy. In short, when we are emitting this type of energy we attract more like energy which increases our level of energy which in turn increases our positive impact on not only ourselves but the universe as a whole!

What is your presence in the world today? Who and what type of energy are you attracting?
