This book goes ab...more

My first introduction to the term “mindfulness” came while attending a local therapy institute. In fact, my first research paper at this institute regarded mindfulness and the Christian spirituality and how the two can mesh appropriately. This process had such an impact upon me, that I began immediately utilizing it within my recovery progress of transformation and restoration.

Read this twice and benefited from the central message in ways that are still proving to be powerful for me a year later. If you're not ready to be accountable for your life and choices, buy it and dip into maybe just the first chapter for now. When the time is right, revisit it. You will learn about yourself, what holds you back, what keeps you stuck (and all the origins of this behavior) as well as how to move toward and through the drama and trauma to be your best self now!
So my therapist (who I really adore) brought this to my attention. I simply don't have the dedication this "process" insists upon. I'm all for finding time for myself, and I think that integration of trauma is indeed important, however the demands of this work require way too much time, effort, and non-variance. I would start to think, "Sure yeah, I can do a variation of this step, and perhaps find it useful", but then I'd read that unless you do EXACTLY what is written, (which again, asks a LOT...more
I'm in my second reading and so appreciate the insight and the work. It takes courage, and faith. I read another review from a Christian perspective; I too am a Christian, and Browne's language doesn't offend me or put me off in any other way. A rose by any other name is still a rose. I highly suspect that Presence is not offended by being referred to as Presence instead of God or Holy Spirit. It is what it is. Thank you Michael Brown.
Best book I have ever red, it really guided me to the way to peaceful mind and spirit.
I red this book twice
and planning to read it a third time soon.
I found the answer of many things I experience and why I face the same situation every time and why i fall in the same problem every time.

I read this book with a group doing a chapter a week and sharing our impressions and how we were affected . It was exceptionally beneficial in reminding me to truly live in and cherish the moment. I plan to revisit The Presence Process again soon .
I'm taking the reading of this book slow as I feel there is something truly transformative in it for me. It may be what I've been looking for my whole life with answers to releasing subconscious baggage and emotional healing.
This is the ONLY book you will ever need to become the person you were meant to be! Michael's Presence Portal website has tons of free downloads to use as companion books for the process. In 10 weeks you will be a new person.
One of the few books, nay, experiences I've had in my life where I attribute a holistic strength set was exercised. Now...I'm kinda pushy about people getting into their bodies
I've read 'The Presence Process' three times now, and each time I did the ten week program. I even joined a group that discussed this book once a week. I've met people who have read, 'The Presence Process' upwards of 15 times. They've got their copies of the book underlined, highlighted, book marked, annotated and adumbrated.

This got me into a simple form of meditation involving breathing without pausing -- it's amazing how quickly that quiets thoughts.
Amazing! For anyone willing to do the work, it will change your life.
Amazing emotional cleansing process when a trigger is activated!
So, so helpful. Just straightforward, practical and helpful.
This book is and has changed my life forever!
This book changed the way I live my life.
Very beneficial working through the process
A Life changer. A re reader. Over and over.
I will reread this.
As other reviewers of this book have said, it's the only book that's ever helped me adopt a twice-daily habit of meditation, which I've kept up, almost without fail, since I first started reading the book a few months ago. I'm on my second read through at the moment and am amazed how much I missed the first time. It makes even more sense now, and has helped me more than I can say.
Freedom is responsibility.
Demasiado largo, le da demasiadas vueltas a las cosas y las explica hasta la extenuación. Para mí le sobran más de la mitad de páginas. Lo bueno, el método que se entiende con facilidad y ayuda a comenzar en la meditación.
The only book that has ever actually gotten me to meditate on a regular basis. The book has been very good at helping me realize how and why I interact the way I do. Highly recommended if you'd like to do some internal work.

Boring! He does not say anything that a hundred million people have not already said. I must say, however, that I do not read many books of this genre. I am a great sceptic of "self-help" books. Oh well!
I am re-reading the book and am embarking on the breathing cycle again. I got half-way through the practical part the last time around and have felt it's a loose end that needs tying.
Profound wisdom and a profound process. I look forward to reading this book again as just a read and not as a process. Michael Brown was divinely inspired in his writing.
My life has been incredibly altered in the most fantasmal way in the reading of this book. What a rare find! It has fed and enriched my soul.
The book is teaching me how to use my breath and stay in the moment, it is pretty powerful and does take discipline.

Feeling everything is a real joy.THE emotional cleansing has nothing to do with new age spirituality or world religions.

Until 1989, South African-born Michael Brown was living what he had called a blissfully unconscious life as a music journalist. He then developed an acutely painful neurological condition for which conventional medicine had neither cure nor relief. This caused him to set out on what became an odyssey of self-healing. His exploration took him into numerous alternative healing modalities – then beyo...more
