STILLNESS MEDITATION THERAPY TESTIMONIALS
Stillness meditation made me realise just how much stress was playing a very unhealthy role in my life. Prior to discovering this wonderful technique, I was beginning to fall into a hole that I could not get myself out of. The stress of a very busy professional career, insomnia (not being able to turn my mind off in bed), travelling for hours each day in peak hour traffic, and wanting to have a baby, was making me very anxious, unhappy and exhausted. I had gone from being a very happy, bubbly person to a quiet, unhappy, brooding person that was a stranger to me. I had always been so capable and able to cope, and it was very difficult for me to acknowledge that I needed ‘something’ to help me pick up again.
Thankfully, my Mum heard Pauline speaking about Stillness Meditation on the radio. I purchased Pauline’s book, In Stillness Conquer Fear. I read it from cover to cover in one day, rang the Stillness Meditation Centre the day after, and was booked in to see Pauline within a few days.
I was so relieved to have had very rapid success with Stillness Meditation. My sleeping began to improve after 2 to 3 weeks of practicing the technique religiously. With perseverance and daily practice I felt my coping mechanisms begin to return. I was not responding to stress as I had done previously. I was calmer in both my daily work life and when driving in terrible traffic. Most importantly I fell pregnant and now have a beautiful three month old daughter. She is such a calm, placid, happy baby, that has slept through the night since she was five weeks old. I believe that as I am now a calmer person, that this flowed through into my pregnancy, and has definitely made m
y baby a calm, happy person.
We often don’t come across such a brilliant mechanism as Stillness Meditation until we are in a dire position that forces our hand. We then want it to work quickly because we want instant results. Luckily for me I did have tangible results quite rapidly. ‘Being still’, such a simple easy to practice technique, has turned my life around. I have the greatest gift I could ever have asked for – I am now a Mummy.

“Stillness Meditation Therapy is a soundly based technique that is particularly useful in the treatment of chronic anxiety states and in teaching patients to manage anxiety and cope better with stress. “Chronic anxiety is a major health burden and the availability of non-drug therapies to improve wellbeing is of significant assistance to the medical profession.”
Dr M. R. Stewart, MBBS F.R.A.C.P. General Physician
“The skills are simple and easily learnt and this is a big attraction for those I refer as they are generally very busy and stressed individuals.

VCE Student's Letter of Appreciation!
I am so happy to inform you even after my difficulties with anxiety last year, I achieved excellent results that I am proud of. My enter score was 91.6 and I have been accepted into Melbourne University.
Without your encouragement and guidance Pauline, I do not think such great achievements would have been possible for me. I thank you dearly for teaching me Stillness Meditation and for your constant and positive reassurance.
************************************
I would like to thank you for providing me with an opportunity to learn and practice Stillness Meditation Therapy.
As you are aware, I previously experienced a great deal of stress leading to a raft of symptoms. Since practicing SMT I have learnt to be calmer during my daily activities and have experienced a large reduction of those symptoms. Additionally, I found that I have been able to deal with the daily stresses much better and think through problems more easily as a direct result of being in a calmer state when problems arise. I found your general approach to be highly professional and the SMT process to provide great comfort.
I would highly recommend your services.
Kind regards,
David Firestone,
Melbourne
