Book Reviews of The Presence Process: A Healing Journey into Present Moment Awareness
Book Review: Loving the process; sometimes wordy, but message is profound
Summary: 5 Stars
Brown was inspired to discover what he calls Inner Presence because of suffering chronic debilitating cluster migraines for which he was told there was no known cure. He found that being totally present was the only way to stop the pain, and so he set out to become totally present, totally in this moment, and this book is the path. Living in present moment awareness is a way to "a joyful, abundant, and healthy life".
The intro is long (124 pages), and a bit wordy, but he's letting the words get under your skin and it seems important to let him run the process his way and slog through it. Once you actually begin the Process proper it makes good sense.
Once through the intro you read a chapter per week for 10 weeks; the chapters are short, very to the point, and very powerful. There is a daily practise for everyday of the 10 weeks, and the chapters guide you through it all.
I am on week 4, and already I feel it changing who I am, and how I relate to my physical self, emotional self, and how I deal with others. It's amazing me actually. There have been moments when, following his guidance, I have felt my body physically shake as it re-experiences childhood emotions, and I have come out of it feeling wiser and better able to relate to people I care about.
I've heard it said that "The Power of Now" describes a destination, while this book tells you how to get there.
