[The Presence Process Pdf Free Download

Seems like this would be of interest here....Have just received a new book called the presence process by michael brown. seems like a really genuine guy with a no frills approach to integrating more presence into daily life. he healed himself of horton's syndrome by applying the techniques he teaches for awareness of the present moment. he utilises connected breathing and other tools to form a ten week course to redirect our focus from the mental to a more balanced emotional and physical experience. Have started reading today, seems good so far.
I just recently bought this book also. I'm on the second chapter and am incredibly impressed. I'm not sure if I will go through the 10 week course however, as I wonder if the additional mechanics beyond frequently accessing and existing in present moment awareness are necessary. He states that being in the present moment (which seems to be equivalent to the non-dual state as described in various traditions, particuarly Zen, Dzogchen and others) is characterized primarily by a profound gratefulness for living, and also joy, bliss, No-thought, and loss of the sense of the separate self. And that, as I understand it, by living in this state increasingly over time all psycho-emotional and external imbalances will naturally clear without contrived effort from "me". A simpiler version of this may be found in Zen where one just sits and drops everything, thus, arriving at the realization of our original face. Perhaps the presence process is an expedited version of the documented Zen process and others.
someone on a website said that its like going to hell and back. theres some truth in that. its is something i will do again because i think it is a fantastic method and i am grateful i started it because it has brought to my attention things i wasnt consciously aware of that have probably greatly hindered my life.
Cheers for bringing this to my attention Emily! Am indebted to you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. I have faced my demons before and I know I will need to do it again sometime - a manual will be useful
The vibrational is the causal point of everything. It really does know no order of difficulty if we allow it to be the causal point. Open the portal. All that's required is the emotional body. That's why I say that the emotional imprinting of our first 7 years is deliberate. It's not very pleasant if we're in victim mentality and blaming the world, and if we're in the lowest chakras...but once we move ourselves up, and we start processing it, we'll see its deliberate. Because whatever happened to us...contains everything that's required for us to open the portal. It's already given, its already there - it's just a matter if we want to respond to it, or we want to spit it out...
What we don't like and try and change in our children is what we haven't dealt with in ourselves.
I am a huge fan of Michael Brown and TPP. After going through TPP I felt like I really grew spiritually. Through the process I had my first waking visual. I felt energy flowing through me and my body as ecstatic energy. It was also after finishing TPP that I experienced The Witness for the first time.
I will say that TPP is not easy. I would recommend you do it chapter by chapter and have a group in this thread to talk to, who is also going through it. It was the first time I had really worked with the emotions, with the energy of emotions instead of always trying to suppress them and it scared me to death.
However, his teachings had stayed with me in the back of my mind, and recently I was just able to implement them unintentionally via my own fashion. Nearly a whole year later! Well, seeds sometimes take some time to sprout and at least always better late than never...!
Anyways WHEW, it is all just like he said! I've already had 3 catharses in just the last week. I could probably have many more too, but I need a little space to allow them and they're pretty draining/exhausting at the time. Because you are just staying there there feeling them with no judgment - which you had previously always run or hid from.
Well, I know exactly what he is talking about now with the emotional vs the mental "bodies," now - and have found my own doorway to my emotional layer. It's no longer just theoretical, but actually experiential. For now it takes a little time, but maybe later I will "reside" there more or be able to just enter it instantly in real-time whenever needed. Because I can clearly feel the immense healing power in this method and emotional level. So, I'm eager to see how much it can help clear more of my inner junk out.
This is REAL SPIRITUALITY, folks! Certainly at least one vital step in it! After you get past all the New Agey infatuation phases with IMPERSONAL (& less relevant) super siddhis, secret schools, special techniques, sacred spaces, ancient aliens, etc...you'll find out how much of it is simply about healing your own PERSONAL (& more relevant) human emotional traumas...
I argued that two people sending Yogani a letter is not proof and that they should have been asked to post in the thread so that people with experience can help.. as well as figure out what they were doing.
And even now after I actually cracked my mental nutshell - my catharses were nothing to be afraid of, much less "dangerous." I've never had anything even approaching a "panic attack." Just to give another counterbalancing experience out there...
Yea, after finding the doorway now...I've only gone through it sparingly when I have the time and the space. Because going there is a bit time-consuming and exhausting. Although hopefully that will get easier with time. As eventually, I hope to go there with every emotionally-charged interaction - to really live fully and authentically from another deeper level.
Although the first edition of the book contains the fundamental intention and method, Michael Brown changed a lot of things for the second (2010) edition. For example nearly all of the presence activating statements have changed wording and there is a big reduction in the required water sessions. The changes were made after his experiences with the process being public so I would go with the improved version .
I guess it is possible that the process could bring on panic attacks by connecting someone with their already existing fear, so it wouldn't create the panic as such rather bring out what is already within someone, but if you were to keep on going the process would also help to bring to resolution the panic by helping to move you through the experience rather than it always being there just under the surface.
I would also say it is very important to follow the process exactly like Michael Brown says and also very important is that the activation statement (the statement we make prior to the process) consists a lot of the word "gentle" :-)
the only thing i do not like with his work is he is too anti-mental. I can understand why (because it is important to get out of the story) but for me he has taken that a bit too far. that is why i suggest to also explore Scott Kilobys work also (same work but from an different angle and more gentle)
Thinking I`ll give the process a go. One thing though, I gather that part of it involves immersing yourself in warm water, like a bath? (Haven`t gotten to that part of the book yet.) That might be challenging as I don`t have a bathtub or access to one. Are baths an essential part of the process?
All sockets are connected to the same presence tracker. The presence topic is tenant:user, which means that every user has their own topic. The channel topic is slightly different name, but still split by tenant:user.
@benwilson512 the process that calls user_connection_count func is a genstage when new events are created in the system (roughly 500 up to 8k rpm). Interestingly, the 8k rpm comes from a backup in another part of the system (ruby sidekiq worker from the app that calls the elixir API endpoint) and may be contributing to an overwhelming behavior in the number of function calls made. The sockets are not calling user_connection_count.
