About forty years of age I began asking the (perhaps) inevitable question - is this all there is? According to the standards of culture, I had succeeded in many areas - my education, my work, my standard of living. However, my body was starting to break down - poor digestion, abnormalities associated with my reproductive system, constant head, back and hip pains. My marriage was unfulfilling and my relationship with my teenaged children was stressed. I turned my attention to healing and to exploring the possibilities for a fuller life.
Here I am, in 1995, at the height of my corporate career. These pictures were taken with no expression. A great, although uncomfortable, way to see what was beneath my social smile and make-up. The second picture, taken 9 months later shows the results of using the technology we use in our Discover Stillness CDs. I also, changed my diet, and started following a strange health prescription: only do things that bring you pleasure. From the picture you can see making these changes moved me from a condition near death to alive and angry.

That exciting exploration, begun about fifteen years ago, is still unfolding. As my body healed I realized, with my primarily left-brained development in business and accounting, I hadn't really had a body up to that point. I had simply lived in my head, creating my world and my truth. Only when my body was dysfunctional or in pain did I really notice it. This was a startling revelation. As I developed my kinesthetic intelligence I found that I was more in touch with what was happening in my environment and with people. I had more instances of intuition and discovered the true pleasure of sensations in the body. I had more and more experiences of being in the present moment (the permanent condition of the body).
As I worked with Robert in our muscle therapy training business, I noticed with astonishing clarity the connection between the mind and body. I found that, as the body heals and relaxes and experiences pleasure, the mind quiets and lets go of stresses and feels happy and harmonious. This discovery was particularly exciting since I had studied so many things over the years directed at changing the way I thought and behaved. There had been some successes but going through the mind to change the mind seemed too slow a process.
Robert and I have experimented with many different models and modalities over the years, looking for those that made the biggest difference in our quality of life. I am amazed and delighted at how well the elements of the Technology of Stillness™ works. They are predictably and consistently producing results for us and for those that work with us.
I am now asking the question "how good can it get?" .... and uncovering new depths of satisfaction every day. I formed At Ease Technologies LLC to share my discoveries with all who also ask.
