My friend Monique Darling is a font of juicy wisdom. Lately, she has been plumbing the depths of her sweet soul and what has emerged has been nothing short of genius. Here is a recent posting she created for facebook.<\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

“Last night I was asked how I am truly present with another. Here’s my recipe: Eyes connect, smile, speak, touch, feel the soul standing before you, remember t<\/span>he timeless bond you 2 have, listen to what they have to say, see them as they are right now, without expectation, share your own magnificence at 110%, & witness the divine reflection  in this amazing being whom you have but this moment of true communion. Repeat.”<\/span><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/p>\n

How do you truly commune with people in your life?<\/font><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Are you present with them or just there in body while your mind is a million miles away or thinking about the bills to pay or dishes to do?  <\/font><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Do the people closest to you feel valued?<\/font><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Do you recognize your own value, your own maginficence?<\/font><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Imagine how your relationships would change if you lived in this way.<\/font><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
