About Simon

I believe there is nothing under the sun that can stop you from realising the longing in your heart into the calmest and creative version of you.

​

As Gene Gendlin from the world of Focusing has said; every part within us has it's own healing mechanism and knows it's own rightness - we just need to know how to 'hold and be available' to these parts in a safe and supportive way, and, as if by magic,  the fresh edge will flow into it's newness!

​

Presence, the quintessence distilled from all the three paradigms of Mindfulness, Focusing and NVC has been a passion of mine since the time I taught myself meditation from Roshi Phillip Kapleau’s book 'The three pillars of Zen' in 1986. 

Through a process of trial and error with these presence-based approaches I have gained balance, clarity and deep meaning in my life.

​

I am inspired to share what has proven to work, through these approaches offered here on Living Presence.
