From Stress to Stillness

Tools for Inner Peace

Most stress is created by how we think about things. From Stress to Stillness will help you to examine what you're thinking and change your relationship to your thoughts so that they no longer result in stress. Drawing from the wisdom traditions, mindfulness meditations, psychology, New Thought, and the author's own experience as a spiritual teacher and counselor, From Stress to Stillness is a spiritual self-help book that offers many practices that will lead to greater peace and equanimity, even in a busy and stress-filled world.

Stress is endemic in our society and the cause of relationship difficulties, physical illness, addictions, mistakes, inefficiency, lack of fulfillment, and unhappiness—all the result of being cut off from our Source, from our inherent peace and wisdom. Reducing stress is important today not only for our personal well-being but for the well-being of the planet, as what underlies the stress in our lives is identification with the ego and its values. The ego-driven lifestyle that most people live is wreaking havoc with our world. Fortunately, changing ourselves and our world in this way is mainly only a matter of changing our mind or, rather, changing our relationship to the voice in our head. Here is a quote from From Stress to Stillness that points to our being something other than our thoughts:

"How can your thoughts be your own voice when you don’t even like much of what this voice says and, in fact, this voice often makes you feel bad? Who is it that is aware of not liking some of your thoughts? This voice in your head is not your voice, and it doesn’t have to be your voice. You are what can choose to believe those thoughts and speak them and act on them or not. What is it that is aware of thought and can choose this? This is a great mystery, isn’t it? We are all a great mystery and part of the Great Mystery."

“Finding Gina's writings was like finally receiving a glass of water after spending a day in the dessert. What is communicated through her writing speaks to a place within me that is beyond the stressed-out mind, a place of wholeness and truth.” –Issiah

“Better than Tolle. Gina Lake's work will help you wake up to your Self. The ego is a cruel tyrant, and Gina will help you come to grips. Eckhart Tolle started me on this path, but Lake turned on the lights.” –Miguel

“I'm a part-time registered nurse, and this is the best help for handling stress that I have ever experienced. Written in a way that is easy to understand and follow, all of Gina Lake's books have been excellent.” –Ken Raver

“This is my new textbook. The author guides you through a place from doing, judging, and being fearful to just being present in the moment, moving past the rush we all seem headed towards without enjoying the journey.” –John Shasteen

“I find all of Gina’s books and articles totally riveting. A joy is created in my being that is so full of gratitude, it wants the whole world to know.

“In my lifetime of reading self-help books, no author has come close to Gina Lake in terms of simply and honestly pointing out a direct approach to overcoming negative and harmful thoughts and feelings. It just works. A truly transformative approach.” –J. Tyson

“A must for your spiritual library! Gina's words spoke to my soul, and I kept wanting to read more and more. Her knowledge and ability to communicate ideas are really the best I have read, and I have read all the gurus and teachers. A lot of books say this, but this book really can change your life!” –Dave Erickson

“This book is amazing. I suffer from generalized anxiety disorder, and it has helped me immensely. I can say it has definitely quieted my mind and allowed me to enjoy life a lot more. I used to think nonstop. I also felt very connected to my false self, which only brought on a lot of anxiety for me. This book has allowed me to discover my true self.” –Jo

“This book is more than techniques. It is the operating manual for humans. It describes our inner workings both before and after enlightenment. Buy this, read or listen to it, and experience a depth of information you wish you had years ago.” –Ira Cohen

“I have never been more thankful for a book in my entire life. This book is so inspiring and can truly be life changing. It has brought me a lot of peace and serenity along with a great understanding about how to control my anxiety. I will treasure this gem and will definitely be rereading it.” –C. Lewis
