PAULINE'S STORY

Pauline’s early life journey was interrupted by 8 years of acute anxiety resulting in agoraphobia, the fear of leaving the safety of home. Usual treatments made no significant or lasting difference to her symptoms until her life was transformed with full recovery through the extraordinary Stillness Meditation Therapy (S.M.T.™) the therapeutic work of renowned Australian psychiatrist, Dr Ainslie Meares. 

In 1983 Pauline published her story – In Stillness Conquer Fear. This book remains an international first and through it Pauline pioneered today’s public awareness of anxiety disorders. In the same year she established her practice, The Stillness Meditation Centre.

Acknowledged by Dr Meares as an exponent of his form of meditation, Pauline has taught and promoted Stillness Meditation for over 25 years. Having successfully ‘walked the talk’ she has been able to help thousands of others find similar recovery.

In 1990 with childhood issues and preventative health in mind, Pauline published Quiet Magic and Help Yourself and Your Child to Happiness, books to help children and their parents with anxiety and stress management. She conducts a Practitioner Training Course in Stillness Meditation Therapy and has created a teaching pack for children and adolescents. Her programs are used in some Australian schools.

Among other achievements Pauline McKinnon has assisted in the development of a meditation teaching module with the Australian Catholic University. She also lectures as part of that course and is a regular guest presenter at other Australian universities, colleges, schools, community centres, hospitals, corporate and service organizations. She is a Clinical Member of VAFT (Victorian Association of Family Therapists) and a member of the PACFA (Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia) register. She has been instrumental in  the formation of ATMA (Australian Teachers of Meditation Association). She also supports ADAVIC (Anxiety Disorders Association of Victoria) as part of her community service.

“I had suffered quite severe anxiety symptoms for at least 15 years and sought many forms of treatment when I came across Pauline’s book In Stillness Conquer Fear. This so accurately described much of what I was experiencing. I felt Stillness Meditation might hold the key to some relief. So I travelled from Queensland to Melbourne to undertake a course. Two years later, after practice at home and intermittent visits to Melbourne I am virtually symptom free. Stillness is a wonderful life-long skill that has enabled me to feel so much better and to approach life with much greater calm and ease”

Stephanie Carden PR Consultant and mum

Thanks to stillness meditation I have learnt  how to stop and do nothing.  I feel calm in my everyday activities.  Thus my life has changed for the better  I feel in control, better about myself and others and the best thing is I smile a lot more and enjoy everyday.
