Media Reviews

Stillness Speaks

In this life transforming book Eckhart shows how we can become our true self by embracing stillness and silence. When we are no longer limited by our thinking mind, suffering and pain disappear and we are able to move forward towards a new understanding of our relationships, of nature and of the profound wisdom that is to be found in stillness.

Stillness Speaks takes the form of 200 short sayings similar to the sutras of ancient India. Sutras are powerful pointers to the truth with little conceptual elaboration.

This isn’t a book to be read from cover to cover, then put away. It’s a book to pick up frequently and to live with.

Chapters include :

  • Stillness and Silence
  • Beyond the Thinking Mind
  • Suffering and the End of Suffering

Practicing The Power of Now : Essential Teachings, Meditations and Exercises from The Power of Now.

This invaluable companion extracts the essence of The Power of Now, showing us how to free ourselves from “ enslavement to the mind.” The aim is to be able to enter into and sustain an awakened state of consciousness throughout everyday life. Through meditations and simple techniques, Eckhart shows us how to quiet our thoughts, embrace our situation in the present moment, and experience “a life of grace, ease and lightness.”
