More About the Author
Until 1989 South African-born Michael Brown was living what he called 'a blissfully unconscious life' as a music journalist. During this period of his life he developed an acutely painful neurological condition called Horton's Syndrome. After four years of suffering through conventional medical approaches, he embarked on a quest to integrate his experience through personal inquiry.
As Michael's quest for resolution unfolded, he began entering an state of being he calls 'present moment awareness' - a paradigm of heightened consciousness running parallel to our conventional and mundane world experience. He discovered that his repeated entry into this enlivened state of being, which he accomplished through ceremonial practice, plant medicines, and consciously connected breathing, resulted in a decrease of his own painful condition to the point that it subsided completely.
In the late 90s Michael charted a methodical pathway into present moment awareness by developing a practical procedure that anyone, anywhere, could follow to initiate this experience for themselves. This procedure is now internationally known as THE PRESENCE PROCESS. In 2002 Michael returned to South Africa and invited others to experience this inner journey. He discovered that as others embraced present moment awareness, they too automatically experienced the integration of physical, mental, and emotional discomfort, including psychological disorders and addictions. To make this journey accessible to everyone, Michael wrote THE PRESENCE PROCESS: A Healing Journey into Present Moment Awareness. Since then he has toured the US and Canada sharing these insights, compiled THE PRESENCE PORTAL website as a resource center for this work, and also written ALCHEMY OF THE HEART: Transforming Turmoil into Peace through Emotional Integration, which focuses on realizing the resonance of peace through emotional integration.
Michael Brown currently lives in Aberdeen, Eastern Cape, South Africa, where he watches cactus grow and continues to support this work through THE PRESENCE PORTAL.

Presence for Dummies,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Presence Process: A Healing Journey Into Present Moment Awareness (v. 1) (Paperback)
Similar to Dr. Bahder, I am both a physician and a spiritual practitioner. As a physician I specialize in integral psychiatry and work with people in a holistic fashion (physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual) to get to true cause in the matter of their suffering. In over 15 years of practice I have not found a guide that helped myself or my patients to such an extent... to face themselves and their own undigested emotional experiences from the past.In contrast, I have read many of Eckhart Tolle's books; but like Krishnamurti, Tolle's work is more a description of a level of consciousness and less a set of specific and ongoing instructions that lead you there in a relatively ego-proof manner. (The instructions "Listen to silence. Observe your thoughts. Be in nature. Be aware of your breath as often as you are able" are insufficient in the face of our unconscious emotional discomfort and the ego's desire to avoid real change.) The Presence Process is a simple, direct, how-to manual to finish your emotional past so that you can stop reacting to it; stay in this glorious and eternal present moment; and respond to life. It is a very powerful tool and the most rapid and effective tool I have found to empower you to heal your inner emotional discomfort. It is that inner emotional discomfort that drives addictions and illnesses (physical, mental, and emotional) AND that keeps us from being here now for any significant length of time. You can acknowledge the power of now and say "yes to what is; however, the unconscious pain of the past keeps drawing us away from the present moment through constantly asking, "What happened?" because it was so painful and, "How do I keep it from happening again?" This drives our unconscious needs and wants which ever drive us from this moment. "This isn't it" is the way of being we are stuck with until we face, embrace, digest, and integrate the emotional past. Simple and difficult. Challenging and exciting. Not for everyone. But if it is for you and you do it... you will be astounded. Highly lucid. Highly effective. Highly recommended.

Best how to book ever,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Presence Process: A Healing Journey Into Present Moment Awareness (v. 1) (Paperback)
Years ago, I read Eckart Tolle's "The Power of Now". It's a fantastic book but I found it difficult to achieve the state of present moment awareness it describes. "The Presence Process" is the "how to" manual to achieve this priceless state. Michael Brown's brilliant book has substantially deepened my understanding of this subject. It's a catharsis to know for example, that the pursuit of happines is basically our effort to "fix" our adult life but not realizing that the cause of what's wrong with our life has its origin in our childhood. Therefore, getting that new car, more money, a beautiful spouse, etc., won't make us happy. There's alway an empty feeling. Fix the cause and one can start experiencing true happiness. This book tells you in a very precise manner how to do that. Outstanding!

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Presence Process: A Healing Journey Into Present Moment Awareness (v. 1) (Paperback)
I am both a medical doctor who works with people in a holistic fashion to get to the root cause of their problems and a spiritual practitioner myself moving along the path. In my over 25 years of practice I have not found a guide that helped people to such an extent to face themselves and their own self-deceptions as this book. This book is really an invitation to experience your authentic self. If you have been stuck or feel that something is still lacking in your life, this book is certain to become your best friend.
