A simple rhythm for the day
The app follows the Practice of Presence taught in the book Choosing Presence: begin in stillness, return often, reflect gently.
Three Breaths (or more)
Optional hourly reminders invite you to pause throughout the day for three conscious breaths — a moment to return to God’s presence wherever you are.
Three Questions
Three simple daily reflection questions help you notice where you were present — and where fear, anxiety, or stress pulled you away.
Gentle Reminders, Your Schedule
Choose the window that fits your life (say, 7:00 am to 9:00 pm). Turn reminders off any time. The app adapts to your rhythm, not the other way around.
A glimpse inside
Rooted in Choosing Presence
Practicing Presence is the companion app to the Practice of Presence — a contemplative Christian path described in the book Choosing Presence: How to Access God’s Peace and Release Fear, Anxiety, and Stress by Jim Heaney.
To go deeper with the practice, we recommend reading the book and exploring the courses, videos, and retreats at Choosing Presence. All proceeds from the book go to charity.
