The Practice of Being PRESENT...

All of us have to get up out of bed. All of us probably get up, brush our teeth, whatever, get in the car and go to work. We all have that thing where it's like those parts of the day which are so commonplace to us that we do them in auto. If you can steer the brain into presence, your experience of that drive to work, wherever your appointment, your errands is going to be so much more engaging. It's going to be an experience in and of itself. You'll actually experience the world around you. It's so much easier said than done but I think on stage if I can be present in a song and I'm truly present in that moment and I'm letting the energy come out of the crowd to me, the energy of the song, whatever, it doesn't really matter if I've sang that 100 times or a thousand times or whatever five times and just present in it and I think that's it's a challenge.
