"Breath is the bridge that connects life to consciousness, uniting your body to your thoughts.
Whenever your mind becomes scattered, use your breath to take hold of your mind again."

The Presence Process ~ by Michael Brown


We have used this book many times as a support for any personal development or growth opportunity that is "up for us" in life.
What if we could face life's challenges and opportunities with our full attention, presence, clarity and compassion ~ for ourself and others
1. GET THE BOOK in your hand or on your phone.
2. Take time to read the “Introduction” as it gives a lot of support.
Why embark on this BOOK and its 10-week process?
Michael Brown asks us to ponder our own motivation to step on this path: If we want to feel fully alive and empowered in our life, what better way "to take responsibility for integrating our emotional blockages" and "grow up".​
​
Benefits of this 10-week journey
* Reduce stress by strengthening our emotional resilience.
* Facilitate mental & emotional integration.
* Nurture our ability to "respond" rather than "react".
* Cultivate awareness of being in the present.
​​
How does The Presence Process work?
* An expansive "Introduction" (nearly half the book) to explain the journey.
* A chapter to read each week offering insights and guidance.
* Presence Moment Statements to contemplate each week,
e.g. Week 1 "This Moment Matters".
* Twice-daily 15 minute Breathing Practice using a simple balanced breath with the words "I Am Here Now​​".​​​
