Be Here Now: Practicing Presence as a Path to Transformation
In a time when the world feels like it’s shifting moment to moment, Michele Rae invites us into the spaciousness of the now—a place where transformation unfolds, wisdom arises, and everyday mystics like us can remember who we truly are.
In this inspiring talk at Lake Harriet Spiritual Community, Michele explores the theme Be Here Now through stories, guided meditations, and gentle but powerful calls to mindfulness. Drawing from her book Living From the Center Within, she reminds us that major transitions—whether in our personal lives or across the planet—can feel disorienting, but they’re also full of possibility. Like a newborn entering the world for the first time, we are being invited to trust the unknown and co-create a new way of being.
Some key themes from her message include:
🌱 Transformation is natural, but not always comfortable
Whether we’re spiraling through personal growth or witnessing global shifts, we are being invited to choose how we engage—with fear or with conscious, creative intention.
🌀 Being present is a radical act
When we practice mindfulness—whether through our breath, a shower infused with eucalyptus, or simply noticing what we feel in our bodies—we reclaim our attention and step into our wholeness.
🌟 We are more than our five senses
Michele speaks to the power of intuition, synchronicity, and “the clairs” (clairvoyance, clairaudience, etc.) as natural ways of knowing. These are not fringe or woo—they are practical, everyday tools for navigating life in alignment with our inner truth.
💫 We are the ones we’ve been waiting for
In a moving guided meditation, Michele helps us connect with our infinite self and the greater field of shared awareness. She reminds us that we are co-creating this new era—moment by moment, breath by breath, choice by choice.
✨ You are sacred. Right now.
As she closes with the poetry of Hafiz, we’re reminded that everything we do—from how we love to how we listen—is sacred when it’s rooted in presence and truth.
