Presence and Potential: Experience Your Higher Self and Live in Wholeness ~ This book provides a practical approach to the most common humanity dynamics. Learn how to stay on-guard to avoid practicing lower-consciousness. Be mindful to live into the raised-up, empowering response that brings greater connection with others and greater peace within yourself. Make no mistake, this is deep inner work, known as "The Greatest Adventure". It is filled with curiosity and wonder at the power we each have to create a fuller and satisfying life, a life where we are present to the now and at our highest emotional level.
Below are quotes of Martha Creek from the book:
"Giving away self leads to hurts and transgressions, keeping score and building resentments, and all the other things that erode relationships, erodes peace of mind and everything else of value to us."
“Implementing just one new skill in the 'now' moment increases your ability to be present and makes you higher functioning."
”I don’t have to love what is … I don’t even have to like it, but I don’t have to be at 'war' with it either.”
”Cultivating imagination in the direction of what is possible is a helpful process for harnessing creativity. Working with a can-do attitude, imagining what positive outcomes are possible in any situation, carries a causative, creative energy.”
