The Finding Presence Series
Introduction
An “issue” is anything that keeps us out of being present on every level. Lorraine will examine how our issues show up in our system, how they hold us, and what it means to be free from them. The discovery of what issues are keeping us stuck and distracted, and how they manifest, is the first step in finding freedom from them.
The Finding Presence Series is an ongoing sequence of live events, cable shows, and articles that focus on the exploration of universal issues. Each segment examines a different issue, and every live event offers a healing to support the process of letting go of what keeps us in the experience of separation.
Shame
“It’s hard to meet shame, because shame wants to hide from itself. ”
Anxiety
Loneliness
“Anxiety is a good issue. And by ‘good’, I mean difficult. And hard to work with.”
“Loneliness can lead us to quite desperate action, because we’re trying to kind of override that feeling.”
Intimacy
“It’s a very deep recognition and reconnection of that which was separate, coming back together.”
Self-Worth
“Self-love isn’t something you do. It’s not a verb so much as it is a state of being.”
Anger
“We can use anger to hide other issues because it’s a stronger position to be angry than to be hurt.”
Depression
“... we’re usually talking about many factors that have come together. ”
Loss
“Loss is pain that one endures. Grief is the process of cleansing the system of sadness.”
Heartbreak
“Heartbreak is overwhelming and you just can’t process it all at once. ”
Money
Jealousy
“I think jealousy is more primal than we think, because it has to do with where our status is in life.”
“It’s about the exchange and the issues that come up around that exchange.”
