What does it take to be Present? Sydney Platt takes us on an inner journey exploring the many facets of Presence, with one goal in mind: Reconnecting with the Essence of Who You Truly Are. Stepping Into Presence is an experiential guide, not just a book for the mind. From its premise that the main obstacle to Being Present is a deep sense of Disconnection from the soul, what it takes to live in presence is explored from many perspectives. This involves delving into all the dimensions of human existence: Spirit, Thought, Emotion, and Physical senses (STEP). If you wholeheartedly engage yourself in its pages, it is expected that you will: Understand how your deepest fears originate and function under the radar to keep you out of the present. Discover why the Personality is the most powerful force that blocks the full expression of who you truly are. Get savvy to the hidden agenda of your personality, and learn to sidestep its unconscious motives and unproductive directives. Become more aware of how you disconnect from the flow of Life and all its dimensions. Explore ways to resonate with the qualities of Presence, so you can be happier, calmer, and more fully present. "Calm allows us to process our experience completely and helps us access the resources present within the well of our soul." - from Chapter 21 "Sydney Platt has written a remarkably thorough guide to personal transformation, weaving together many systems of consciousness...At the completion of each section, she provides lovely meditations and prayers to help manifest the transformations. Even advanced students of consciousness will find Sydney's book a valuable resource for deeper transformation." - Sandra Zimmer, founder of the Self-Expression Center and author of It's Your Time to Shine: How to Overcome Fear of Public Speaking, Develop Authentic Presence and Speak from Your Heart.
