A gentle return to presence
Abiding in God’s Presence by Gary Eagle continues the journey begun in The Breath into Awareness. Through a simple body awareness practice, Gary invites you to notice the life that is already here.
Settle with a few comfortable breaths. Feel your hands, your feet, and the body as a whole. Allow awareness to become part of listening, movement and ordinary life.

Watch Abiding in God’s Presence
This 23-minute illustrated film combines Gary’s spiritual reflection with a gentle guided body scan meditation, spoken narration and his original background music.
From the breath to the living body
Gary presents his model of Divine Awareness as an invitation to explore your own experience. Rather than trying to manufacture a special feeling, begin by noticing simple sensations: warmth in the hands, contact beneath the feet, and the natural movement of breathing.
Attention moves gently through the body, then opens to the space around you. The practice continues with open eyes, listening and everyday action. Return whenever you remember, without turning the return into another demand.
Rest in awareness. Live from there.
