Explore the meaning of being present in this 3-minute yoga philosophy video with YinWave founder Chris Abay.

Chris offers a simple comparison: just as comfort can be recognised through the absence of discomfort, presence might be recognised through the absence of “mind chatter”—the ongoing inner commentary that pulls our attention away from what is happening now.

This short reflection invites you to explore the relationship between thought, attention and present-moment awareness. Use the idea as a starting point for noticing moments of stillness and ease, without making a quiet mind another goal to chase.
