Stillness, as I teach it, isn’t about trying to “clear your mind” or sit in perfect silence. It’s far simpler—and much more powerful—than that.
Stillness is the practice of sitting or lying down, closing your eyes, and just noticing. Watching your thoughts. Listening to what’s going on in your mind. Not changing it. Not judging it. Just creating a moment of space between you and your thoughts.
In that space, something powerful starts to happen.
Your mind begins to naturally let go of what doesn’t belong.
Thoughts that don’t serve you start to soften.
And you begin to feel a little more like you again.
That’s okay. That’s actually normal.
Now, let’s be honest—it’s not always easy at first.
For some people, simply closing their eyes can feel like too much. Others find their thoughts are so fast, so loud, they feel dizzy or unsettled just trying to sit still.
You’re building a new muscle—a mental one. And like any muscle, it takes time, patience, and practice.
Stillness isn’t about doing it right. It’s about turning up for yourself, gently, day by day.
So if your mind is noisy, or your body’s twitchy, or it all feels uncomfortable—just notice that. Honour it. Respect where you’re at. And keep coming back.
Because the more space you create, the more your system learns that it’s safe to slow down. And that’s when stillness really starts to do its work.
Not forced.
Not perfect.
Just present.
