Presence Extension

Presence replaces your new tab page with a beautiful image and gives you a place to set your intent, mantra or an inspiring quote.

Each time you open a new tab this reminder will prompt you to take a moment out of your busy day to pause, reflect and recenter.

Presence also includes an optional audio reminder, like the soothing sound of gentle waves on a tropical beach, to bring those moments of pause and introspection throughout your day.


Presence's Manifesto
--------------------

Presence is a space for you to pause for a moment and come back to yourself.

Use it like you would sit contemplatively on the beach - click on the background, close your eyes and let the sound of waves bring you back to yourself.

Turn on the reminder and let the sound of the waves come to you throughout your day, a gentle auditory cue to return to your real focus.

Everyday it will bring you a new, inspiring background and remind you of your intent.

Welcome to Presence. We hope it transforms your life.

Jacqui Breene (ID: 000000db3f118884) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 04/11/2019 I love this Chrome extension because it really works. In my work we use online documents so I am online a lot! I am often chairing meetings, sharing my screen, and each time I open a browser the whole room see the words "bring presence" and it brings such a sense of calm, it is tangible. I find myself taking a moment breathe and return to my center ...inhale... exhale... ahhhh... I think the whole room feels it along with me. I have forwarded this to my co-workers and they love it. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to bring more peace and centeredness into their lives.

Rodney Carvalho (ID: 00000007b10aa70a) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 03/29/2019 Way better than a mindfulness timer. Presence draws you in to actually taking time to be mindful. I notice myself using it and not dismissing it like other mindfulness timers. And, by doing this, I can feel a muscle developing to be able to get into a "tuned in" mindful state on demand. This is one of the best mindfulness products I've used. And, the results have been quite impressive so far.
