A journey into present moment awareness Personal peace is not given to us by others - It comes from answering ourselves. Today, most of us are faced with events that we feel we can do nothing about. This book teaches us how to take ownership of our personal responsibility. It provides us with mechanics to structure the way we feel life and to empower our experiences to consciously respond to all areas of our lives. It offers a simple and practical approach to achieving and preserving our personal peace in the midst of increasing change, distress, conflict and confusion. Born in South Africa, Michael Brown led a blissfully unconscious life as a music journalist until he was struck down by a very painful acute neurological disease. His only chance was to either change the quality of his experience or suffer constantly. Through a nine-year journey, he discovered how he was responsible for the quality of his own experiences - by relieving his pain. This journey created the process of existence - A journey into present awareness.
