A Year of Stillness

Let's face the fact. Not many human beings are familiar with the experience of inner stillness. We are driven by our own minds like blind horses on unknown roads, racing toward destinations unreachable. And if something is seemingly attained, it is temporary at best. There's always something else just around the corner to race after.

The common way of life in modern societies doesn't leave space for childlike exploration and true contemplation of things. This narrowness disconnects you from the most essential part of yourself-peaceful and compassionate awareness. Any experience of inner stillness gets lost in confusion.

A Year of Stillness is an invitation to clear the confusion and reclaim your connection with the world and yourself.

A Year of Stillness describes various states of consciousness on a journey toward deep inner peace and what some would call "enlightened living". The journey is not always easy, yet you will find hard evidence that it is worth taking.

This book shares intimate experiences of inner peace and spiritual awakening, contemplating the usually overlooked beauty of life. The book describes one year in ordinary human life from an exceptional point of view. This diary is not very concerned with typical life situations-it is more attuned with living a life of awareness.

A silent and soothing stillness breathes within such life.

• The world deserves love and compassion. How can I express them in my life?
• I deserve to be free of suffering. How can I experience unconditional joy?
• My life needs inner peace. How do I find it?
• Spiritual awakening invites me. How do I answer it?
