"What you tap into in stillness, you can’t find anywhere else." The benefits of meditation have been written about for centuries. That’s why so many people attempt to make it a daily habit. Unfortunately, many become frustrated as they watch ‘to do’ lists scroll by in their heads, unable to achieve what they so desperately need: lifestyle balance and peace of mind. Marlise Karlin is a person just like you and me, who also found it challenging to meditate, despite her understanding of its many benefits. Then, she had a direct experience of the innate freedom that exists within each of us and recognized there was another way to tap into this well of peace and strength and love. This realization was ultimately the motivation behind her developing Stillness Sessions where The Simplicity of Stillness® can be experienced. Stillness Sessions allow you to connect to your true essence where the qualities of greater awareness, of what you value, and of inspiration become woven throughout your day. Similar to ‘upgrading’ programs on your computer to improve performance, Stillness Sessions expand and clarify your personal journey, introducing you to the many benefits the practice of stillness offers. Quite naturally, you begin to make better choices that improve your overall health, while inviting you to perceive life differently. You experience less stress accumulating in your everyday life and you discover new ways to deal with unexpected bumps in the road. Life becomes a greater adventure, filled with more happiness than you could ever imagine. Marlise creates beautiful music compilations for the Stillness Sessions CD’s, transmitting The Simplicity of Stillness through the beauty of music in collaboration with internationally renowned musicians. A simple method to invite stillness into your life: •Close your eyes and relax your body. Lie down if space is available or sit comfortably •Breathe deeply – release any tension with each breath •Hold your focus within •Initially it’s helpful to listen to a Stillness Session CD where the music of The Simplicity of Stillness can assist you in connecting powerfully to your own essence, that place of freedom within each person. With time, as this state of awareness grows, you will be able to access this profound tranquility and power simply by breathing deep into that well of pure silence •If thoughts arise, observe them floating by you, like clouds on a windswept day •Then follow the breath as it moves throughout your body. Listen to the wind, feel the air, keep looking within and allow yourself to just float on the chords of the music - releasing all opinions and judgments of what this moment should look like. Become like a child lying in a field of grass with nothing to do but watch the clouds rolling by…. •Stay as long as you like – 10 minutes, 20 minutes, an hour •Slowly and gently bring yourself back. Bring the stillness with you - feel the difference between where you’ve been and where you are now. Then, allow the power of the stillness to be transmitted into the present The practice of stillness can become an integral part of your daily life — like exercising or eating right. All you need to do to begin enjoying the many blessings it brings you, is to take time each day to incorporate this magnifying gift into your life. It’s that simple, that powerful and that enlightening. |
