The Importance of Loving Presence
A brief exchange about the role of loving presence in deep inner work, and what it takes for a therapist or teacher to hold that space.
I think this is an important question, because that presence is one of the most important things a teacher offers. There's a clarity and a cutting through, but there's also a loving presence.
Yes, with a person. With a loving person. A therapist can be useful there as well, but it really depends on the therapist. The therapist has to have worked through something at that level of depth in themselves in order to assist somebody at that depth. And that's rare.
