Testimonials for Awakening to Presence with Michael Fleming

The following are  excerpts of letters from people  on how Michael’s work has supported them personally, as well as comments on the value of working in a group setting:

“I have no words to say how your healings have helped direct my life for the better. Even though I am a healer myself I had levels of perception and feelings that I only reached with you. They were fantastic and very special healings. I also have seen you work in groups.  You direct people to their essence, to their prime feelings, to the beginning of Everything.   And I also have witnessed myself how you direct people to acquire their own power. You empower them as you have done to myself many times.”

 Zaquie Meredith, Brazil

 

“When I touch Michael Fleming’s presence, I feel an infinite universe as well as its endless grace. I can also say this:   Of all the people I have met so far in my life, Michael is the greatest teacher; and, of everything I have experienced so far, his Work is exceptionally integrated and comprehensive.  For over fifteen years, I have studied psychology and spirituality.   And yet, they were not enough to satisfy my heart;    I longed for something else.   But all this changed completely after I met him  and received teachings from him. At the same time, my life has changed tremendously. When I connected myself to my inner source  and began to live the presence,  I learned that the things I was seeking all existed inside me. “Awakening to Presence.”   This is the most beautiful right and privilege in this world  that are given to all the people. If you decide to study from this great teacher,  I am sure you will find a shortcut to awakening  to your invaluable presence.”

 Katsuyo  T., Tokyo, Japan 

“Michael Fleming has pioneered the most rigorous approach I have seen to getting out of your head and into your feelings, your body, and the present moment. He precipitates this shift in participants in his group workshops even more powerfully than in individual work, extraordinary as that is. Working with Michael seems to significantly accelerate the course of a psychotherapy in a safe and reliable way.”

 David B. Schwartz, Ph.D., The Kimberton Clinic, Pennsylvania

“Being a massage therapist, I am constantly asked,  ‘why is that muscle tight?’  It was a bit of a mystery for me if that person was not physically overusing this muscle.  This question was answered for me at my first workshop with Michael. It was then I experientially discovered that we store emotions on a cellular level.  My body has changed for the better with the work we do in class.  Learning to be more present in my body has helped me in my work with clients as well as in my own life.  It takes time to undo all of the flawed perceptions of the past but it is the only journey that is worthwhile for me at this point in my life. “

 Bev P., Ontario, Canada

“Michael always instructs us to turn our awareness to the inside, not outside. I’m continuing to learn that love, joy, sanctity, and everything else I had been seeking all these years had existed inside me.. . .To everyone, “the road leading to one’s essential being” is a totally natural and exciting journey filled with light. “

Yumiko T., Tokyo,  Japan

“Any time I immerse myself into a 4 day (or more) block of time where I am committed to myself and the group to hold space, breathe, and try to be present in my body, and go where the energy flows, I always make some amazing shifts in my life, connecting the dots and seeing a bigger picture. . .Michael is an amazing facilitator of the “Presence” process and is a guiding light through out the workshop.  There is no pushing or pulling just being open to go where the energy flows and allowing the participants to choose their own course. I have been to 8 workshops and trust him completely, I have watched him grow as a facilitator and know that he is always striving to be more present and he is truly a truth finder.

 The reason why I prefer to work in a group format is that I have seen the changes and shifts for my friends.  I get to see first hand how doing the 'work' really changes people lives.  Each time the same people show up at the workshops you see how their layers are shedding and you see such a change with the way they hold their bodies and how much lighter they are. Another reason I feel so strongly about a group is the energy is much stronger and faster.  Where it might take me a much longer time to process on a one on one basis compared to a group energy that moves you along so much easier and faster. My last reason is you get to process areas you might not even be aware of yet though the group energy processing.  You get triggered with everyone that chooses to 'work' to get to layers of where you might be stuck or holding old thought/feeling patterns.  This is just amazing work in a group!!”

 Wendy W., Michigan

 “ Being able to meet such a great, living teacher as Michael  has been really a great help to me in my life.  I have deep respect for his personality and teachings as a mentor.   With his guidance, I finally came to feel "I am truly living my life".

 Yoshie K., Nagoya, Japan

“How has Michael’s support helped me personally?   I learned the power of authentic presence and the value of not doing. This transformed my approach to my own process of healing as well as my approach to facilitating the process with others.  Regarding group work, there is a synergy in group awareness in which one plus one equals much more than two. This synergy allows the work to go deeper than it might otherwise. There is also a deep level of healing and integration that is possible when we allow ourselves the vulnerability of being seen and supported by others, just as we are, in this present moment.”

 Marilyn M., New Mexico

“I feel Michael supports me to be myself at this moment, to live perfectly as myself instead of as a role which my thought thinks to be expected.  Michael's trust and deep love to students invites me to go deeper, to sink inside me, and to enter Being.”

 Aiko M., Nagoya, Japan 

“I have and continue to attend Michael’s powerful group workshops and have witnessed, not only in myself, but also in my peers, profound transformational changes.  These changes are both visible, in people’s appearance with increased confidence and physical vitality noted; and progressive, with many people moving towards their dreams and desires and away from destructive physical habits and emotional relationships.  Michael is an authentic, committed, down to earth and truly gifted healer and teacher.  He has the innate ability to focus on being “Present” with the emotional, spiritual AND physical aspects of the individual and through his guidance, while in a group setting, will take you on a journey of self discovery and introduce you to your Essence and True Self. It is a beautiful and courageous unfolding to witness.

 I have the utmost trust and respect for Michael as an individual and a healer and a deep gratitude for the invaluable experience that he has afforded me, as I watch my greatest fears and blocks dissolve, thus allowing me to move towards making my dreams come true. If you are ‘stuck’, looking for real change and/or wanting Truth, I highly recommend Michael.  He and his work are a precious and worthy endeavor.”

 Debi S.  R.N., RPsgT , Ontario, Canada 

“Michael shows what  TRUST is.   So I learn how to trust myself and others, and the things that happen in my life. I can be so much more honest with myself and express that without  judging myself when Michael supports me.  By him really being with me while experiencing the process coming up,  the suffering which I  did not even realize before could be unveiled and cleared up. . .  And now I have the feeling and trust that I can gradually let myself be free from it.  From these experiences I can learn how one can support others by deeply GROUNDING and BEING WITH. As far as group work goes, first of all I am always impressed with each person’s trust and intention to move on to the new reality.I feel my heart gets softer and I feel more love to others every time. And I feel grateful to have chances to be witnessing the moment when someone  comes out “new” at the end of their work. When I get support by a group (classmates), I still hesitate to receive all the love, but I have no other place like this where I feel  I do not need to be afraid of others watching me and I can feel safe in a group. When I have done my own work in a group, I feel that the others have truly just spent the time doing the work with me, themselves. You would not know without experiencing it how the holy space appears in the group and you go through your deep process in that quiet and safe space with your group members.”
