The practice of mindfulness requires us to be still. Yet many of our attempts to be still are foiled by the internal world of our emotions. This is especially the case with difficult emotions. We tend to push them aside, ignore them or distract ourselves from them.
The exercises in Still are designed to help us stop and notice our emotions, how they feel in our body, and how they affect us.
