Dr Ainslie Meares on Stillness Meditation

By Owen Bruhn

This book is about Dr Ainslie Meares' Stillness Meditation system. It features his meditation instructions distilled from Relief Without Drugs. These were translated into 12 languages and helped many people learn an autohypnotic relaxing meditative experience of an inner stillness, free from disturbance, that regenerates. When practised correctly for 15 minutes, twice daily, Stillness Meditation is:

Effective - regardless of the cause of disturbance.Natural - which is why it works so well.Easy - so easy that, at first, you may feel you cannot relax. Keep following the steps. It comes with practice.Learnable - almost anyone can learn it

The book also explains the 5 pillars of Stillness Meditation:

Progressive relaxation into global relaxationRelaxation through slight initial discomfort, increased gradually over time, so it always feels slight.Living in calm and ease, free from disturbanceFactors that support meditation, including 33 poems by Dr Meares' exploring nonverbal understanding.Meditation teaching from a student's perspective.
