Why You Don’t Want to Be Present (And What to Do Instead), Coach Menachem Bernfeld

Description

The fundamentals to gain inner peace with Coach Menachem Bernfeld, Many people struggle with the idea of being present — not because they’re doing something wrong, but because the present moment can feel painful, overwhelming, or lonely. In this class, we explore what presence really means, why we often avoid it, and why the goal is not to force ourselves to be present all the time — but to gently notice and return. We discuss: what presence is (and what it isn’t) why avoidance is often a protective response how noticing is the heart of mindfulness and presence why presence doesn’t mean fixing or changing anything how small moments of presence prevent self-abandonment Presence isn’t about feeling calm or positive. It’s about being with what’s here — without force, pressure, or judgment. If you’ve ever felt disconnected from yourself or from life, this conversation offers a compassionate and grounded way back.
