A Patient's Point of View

I wish I could remember who recommended this book so I could personally thank him. Because The Presence Process, A Healing Journey Into Present Moment Awareness, by Michael Brown is simply profound. It meshes nicely with the work of another one of my favorites, Eckert Tolle and the work he’s done, starting with The Power of Now (which I’ve read three times). Michael Brown’s 10-week process provides a practical way to become more present through a series of readings and daily breathing exercises. His observation that many of our unhealed wounds from childhood play out again and again as adults struck a responsive chord. In fact, he somewhat confirms my theory that many health care providers often choose health care as an attempt to find their own healing, and in the process discover they can make a living helping others with what they’ve learned. Weighing in at 323 pages it’s quite a read, but the insights were well worth it!
