Without learning how to rest the mind, the level of stress and anxiety generally does NOT just go away. Instead it ‘compounds’ because the more stress you experience, the more stressed you get about being stressed. It’s a vicious circle that can and does destroy lives. Practising Stillness Meditation Therapy is a way for you to end that vicious circle and discover calmness.

“Stillness meditation made me realise just how much stress was playing a very unhealthy role in my life. Prior to discovering this wonderful technique, I was beginning to fall into a hole that I could not get myself out of. The stress of a very busy professional career, insomnia (not being able to turn my mind off in bed), travelling for hours each day in peak hour traffic, and wanting to have a baby, was making me very anxious, unhappy and exhausted. I had gone from being a very happy, bubbly person to a quiet, unhappy, brooding person that was a stranger to me. I had always been so capable and able to cope, and it was very difficult for me to acknowledge that I needed ‘something’ to help me pick up again. Thankfully, my Mum heard Pauline speaking about Stillness Meditation on the radio. I purchased Pauline’s book, In Stillness Conquer Fear. I read it from cover to cover in one day, rang the Stillness Meditation Centre the day after, and was booked in to see Pauline within a few days.
My sleeping began to improve after 2 to 3 weeks of practising the technique religiously. With perseverance and daily practice I felt my coping mechanisms begin to return. I was not responding to stress as I had done previously. I was calmer in both my daily work life and when driving in terrible traffic. Most importantly I fell pregnant and now have a beautiful three month old daughter. She is such a calm, placid, happy baby, that has slept through the night since she was five weeks old. I believe that as I am now a calmer person, that this flowed through into my pregnancy, and has definitely made my baby a happy calm person”
