Practicing Presence 1.8.4 is Now Available

Finding a moment of stillness in a digital world can be a challenge. That is why we built Practicing Presence—to be a simple, accessible, and distraction-free companion for your mindfulness journey. Today, we are thrilled to announce that version 1.8.4 is officially live.

In keeping with our core mission, the app remains completely free and requires no registration. We believe that the path to presence should be available to everyone, immediately, without barriers.

What’s New in 1.8.4?

This update focuses on deepening your practice and giving you more control over your environment:

  • "Awakening to Presence" Course Integration: We’ve made it easier than ever to dive deeper. You can now access the "Awakening to Presence" online course directly through the app, bridging the gap between daily practice and foundational education.

  • New Audio Muting Capability: Presence often flourishes in silence. We’ve added a toggle that allows you to mute all app audio, perfect for those who prefer a completely silent, self-guided experience.

  • Refined UI/UX: We’ve polished the interface to make navigation smoother and more intuitive, ensuring the app stays out of your way while you focus on what matters.

  • Stability Improvements: Behind the scenes, we’ve addressed various bugs to ensure the app remains a reliable tool in your daily routine.

The Practice of Presence is a spiritual discipline focused on bringing stillness into daily life to break the cycle of unconscious negativity. By slowing down the inner dialogue, individuals can move from simply believing in God's presence to experiencing it as a vibrant inner reality. This donation will support Illuman in creating the sacred spaces where men can practice this stillness together.

The Choosing Presence Project provides resources, including a primary text by Jim Heaney and the "Practicing Presence" mobile app, to help individuals cultivate a rhythm of meditation and centering. Based on Christian contemplative traditions, the project emphasizes "living your way into a new way of being" through the experience of stillness. Website: www.choosingpresence.org
