The Presence Process

A Journey into Present Moment Awareness

De: Michael Brown

Narrado por: David Robert Ord

You can dissect and analyze your issues for decades, but nothing will actually resolve them and change your life like The Presence Process.

Author Michael Brown shows us how it's possible to experience awareness of the present moment without having to take the long, challenging path most of us usually take as we attempt to live in the "now".

We all long to be free of our discomfort and experience inner peace. However, the attempt to get rid of our discomfort is misguided. We're not broken and don't need to be "healed". Our difficulty is that our deeply suppressed emotional imprints from childhood distract us from an awareness of the present moment. Until this emotional charge from our past is integrated, our attempts to quiet our thoughts and access the peace, joy, and love that are bedrock to our being are of only limited success. Since presence is universal, it has the ability to manifest in our daily experience the very circumstances required for us to integrate the dysfunction that keeps us from experiencing the radiance of present moment awareness. We are each responsible for determining the quality of our personal experience, and The Presence Process guides us in taking responsibility for our emotional integration. It's a way to consciously "grow up".

One of the best self-help psychology books.

This book details a technique for integrating repressed and inhibited emotions that is psychologically valid. I have to admit that it really isn't easy but it forces you to deal with your actual feelings, not the feelings you think you should be having. But that's what you need.I can't say it really has resolved much of my unintegrated feelings but when it does work there is no doubt that it is doing for me exactly what I need. There is an unmistakable shift into a more rich sense of connection with the world. The unintegrated feelings are often subtle but the shift after integrating them is profound and not subtle at all.

Life changing

The book and it's process if done correctly and thoroughly is life changing.

I recommend it to everyone!

The only thing that I would change is the narrator, I found it hard to follow sometimes as I didn't resonate with the voice of the narrator and the sounds quality.

More than a book... a life experience

This is a book to digest slowly. Don't rush it, enjoy it bit by bit.

Transformative Process

This had a huge impact on how I see myself and experience the world. Highly recommend.

amazing book!

what a powerful process that's well articulated and easy to follow. this book changed my life.

Missing week number 5?

As of Dec 2016- this version still missing week 5. As a practice that is meant to be guided weekly, I find this disappointing that it was overlooked and then not corrected despite previous comments here.
Otherwise, a month in I find the process rewarding and am inspired by the promise of the benefits.
The idea of becoming more present, getting better at feeling, and integrating feeling rather than distracting or escaping is just the right timing in my life. I assume the premise to be correct: that uninterested feeling is the cause of disfunction in our lives. And that harmony arises as emotions become integrated through felt sense.
As a bodyworker, specifically watsu, this resonates with me and what I experience in my work, both as a therapist and receiver : integrating feeling results in freedom.

Powerful way to release buried emotions

The Presence Process works! I used it and taught it to my brother and both of use were able to release charged emotions that were holding us back. This is not to say we are finished as this process continues until all suppressed emotions are integrated. Is it easy? No. It can bring up uncomfortable memories and feelings. Is it worth it? YES! You will be more integrated and less triggered every time you do it.

If I had to choose one book with the most potential for improving your quality of life this is it. Get the book. Follow the instructions. Free yourself.

This process is amazing.

Amazing book. Amazing process. The book should be recorded again though. Audio quality is not really of a high level. I use the audio book mainly as a resource to speed up reading or for review.

Wonderful Process - Highly Recommend

Do something for yourself and get this book, read it, embrace the process, and put your heart into it. You will forever be thankful to the author for writing this book. Highly recommend.
