What is Presence of Mind ?
The illusion that we are calm and rationale creatures is maintained throughout our daily lives as if we have control over things.The reality is we are never far from falling apart at the seams. Place any one of us in an adverse situation and our apparent rationality and self-control goes out the window.

Our mind is weaker than our emotions. But you become aware of this weakness only in moments of adversity – precisely the time when you needed strength. What best equips you to cope with the heat of battle is neither more knowledge nor more intellect. What makes your mind stronger, and more able to control your emotions, is internal discipline and toughness. This is where CLT comes into the picture. Like any discipline, it can only come through diligent practice and individual experience.

Why it is important during CLT Still Form ?
Fear is the most destructive emotion against presence of mind. Given free reign it will decimate whatever presence of mind you have. It thrives on the unknown, which lets our imaginations run wild. It is therefore better to confront your fears and let them come to the surface, rather than ignore them or try to play them down.

As CLT Still Form is about refinement of merged cosmic energy and our energy fields that we harnessed from the CLT Movement Form, a "presence of mind" is to know and avoid the false thinking mind and its thought forms which is ego-driven. The goal is to achieve a higher referenced top-down approach using 3Ps in evaluating our energy quality, reflecting and letting go of the hurt and anchor the Love back so we can move on with Life's other perspectives.

This is a counter-balance measure to the overpowering pull of our emotions given that CLT will surface un-resolved issue for us to handle. Over time you make progress and each success will build upon the next. The more conflicts and difficult situations you put yourself through, the more battle-tested your mind will be.

Presence of mind occurs naturally when the practitioner builds up love/sufficient energy. Love will draw in energies that is when emptiness occurs. No technique is involved simply continuous practise of expressing of love/kindness to self and others will eventually build up to having presence of mind.
