The Presence Process; A Journey into the Perception of the Present Moment

Why is it so hard for us to respond consciously when we are upset? Why do we instead resort to harmful, repetitive, unconscious, reactive behaviors?
The reason: We all have deeply repressed emotional imprints that have been programmed into us through experience and imitation
These imprints unfold spontaneously over the first seven years of our childhood, until these emotional charges are recognized and consciously terminated. Whenever we are upset, like a programmed organic machine, we automatically resort to these reactive behaviors. The Presence Process invites us to aspire to “conscious emotional response” as a way of life. Reading and applying the simple procedures in this book makes it possible for anyone, anywhere, to transform the quality of their life experience from one of uncontrollable reaction to one of deliberate responsibility. We all long to be free of our emotional outbursts and instead experience a calm inner response to difficulties. What the Presence Process reveals through direct experience is that any attempt in our favor to get rid of our “emotional discomfort” is misguided. In fact, it shows us the miraculous transformation that unfolds when we instead embrace conscious emotional responsibility.
The Presence Process is a self-guided, self-facilitating journey toward taking full responsibility for our emotional lives.
it’s a path we walk in order for the grieving child within us to mature emotionally.
