Stillness
“When you lose touch with inner stillness, you lose touch with yourself. When you lose touch with yourself,
you lose yourself in the world.”
- Eckart Tolle
At times, the most healing thing is simply being together in stillness. Silence creates space. It allows what’s been buried or avoided to gently surface. In a silent session, there’s no need to explain, perform, or figure anything out. We sit together in presence, allowing your system to settle and your own inner knowing to rise.
What is Stillness?
We live in a world of constant movement. We are taught to strive, solve, and make sense of everything with the mind. But there is a deeper wisdom that cannot be reached through thinking. Stillness is the space where that wisdom lives.
In spiritual counseling, stillness is not an absence of activity but a presence that holds everything. It is a space of no resistance, where nothing needs to be fixed or figured out. In stillness, there is an invitation to rest in what already is. To feel what has been pushed aside. To notice the life underneath the mental noise.
Eckhart Tolle speaks of stillness not as something to be added to our lives but as our natural state. "Stillness is where creativity and solutions to problems are found" (Tolle, 2005, p. 108). When we stop trying to make something happen, something deeper often arises. This is the ground of transformation.
Sometimes a session may be mostly silent. We sit together in presence. Nothing needs to be said or done. There is no pressure to speak. This quiet space allows the nervous system to soften, the breath to deepen, and the deeper self to be felt.
Clients often find these sessions more impactful than they expected. Something shifts, even if it can’t be named. This is the medicine of stillness. It is not empty; it is full of the intelligence that guides life itself.
We are not trying to get anywhere. We are remembering what we already are.
