"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 start reading Chapter 1 ~ Week 1 Sunday 1st FEBRUARY 2026
​
1. GET THE BOOK as soon as you can.
2. Read the “Introduction” as it gives a lot of support.
(NOTE: It takes time, so start sooner rather than later!!)
3. Join our WhatsApp group if you want "travelling companions".
​​​
NOTE: The WhatsApp group is mainly used to remind us of the Week and the Presence Activating Statement. Interestingly, Michael Brown discourages "mentoring" and invites us to witness our own process.
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​​".​​
​
What if you could face life's challenges and opportunities with your full attention, presence, clarity and compassion ~ for yourself and others?
