Freedom from the Personal Story
Martin Wells
Sitting in the Stillness is a collection of stories from the therapy room. Each one invites the reader to go beyond these personal accounts to the universal, beyond the agitations of the mind to an infinite stillness of being. The stories include examples from group therapy, mindfulness groups, family and couples’ therapy and demonstrate our fundamental interconnectedness.
'Insightful, practically useful, even enlightening. We are led along a less ‘self-centred’ path with a delightfully light touch.' Nigel Wellings, author of Why Can’t I Meditate?

Endorsements
Filled with compassion and deep non-dual wisdom, this book is a friendly invitation to the place where therapy, mindfulness and authentic spirituality meet: The present moment, our true home. We are encouraged to be a little less afraid of our own thoughts and feelings, a little more trusting in this strange process called Living. I think this wonderful book will help many people.
Jeff Foster, author of The Way of Rest
