Synopsis

Most stress is created by how we think about things. From Stress to Stillness will help you to examine what you’re thinking and change your relationship to your thoughts so that they no longer result in stress. Drawing from the wisdom traditions, mindfulness meditation, psychology, New Thought, and the author’s own experience as a spiritual teacher and counselor, From Stress to Stillness offers many practices that will lead to greater peace and equanimity, even in a busy and stress-filled world. Stress is endemic in our society and the cause of relationship difficulties, physical illness, addictions, mistakes, inefficiency, lack of fulfillment, and unhappiness—all the result of being cut off from our Source, from our inherent peace and wisdom. Reducing stress is important today not only for our personal well-being but for the well-being of the planet, as what underlies the stress in our lives is identification with the ego and its values. The ego-driven lifestyle that most people live is wreaking havoc with our world. Fortunately, changing ourselves and our world in this way is mainly only a matter of changing our mind or, rather, changing our relationship to our mind. That is what From Stress to Stillness is all about. You will learn:·How we create stress and how it affects the body·How to recognize thoughts that cause stress·How to disidentify with thoughts·How to de-stress·How mindfulness meditation changes the brain·How to meditate and why·Tips for quickly moving into Stillness·How to change your lifestyle to reduce stress
