Kinslow tells us that the reason for this work is to present the EuStillness Technique. In his other books he told us of the Eufeeling Technique and I now find it easy to attain this though I had a difficult period. You get a euphoric feeling of bliss, love, peace or some other pleasant feeling.
But I don’t really understand the EuStillness Technique. It is apparently more effective than the Eufeeling Technique.
I can look into things and see stillness and look into my body and see stillness, as he advises. But I don’t understand what makes it into the Eu-bit of the Stillness. I don’t get any euphoric feeling.
He offers us a whole range of techniques – the Nothing Technique, the Stop-Hand Technique, the Coin Technique, etc etc. But I don’t see the point of them.
He also offers various healing techniques which presuppose that you have learnt how to get into EuStillness; but he tells us how to do this, of course.
There is a chapter devoted to “the negative side of positive thinking”. Kinslow does not believe in the Law of Attraction. I appreciate Kinslow’s Eufeeling Technique and am prepared to believe that performing it and/or the EuStillness Technique can heal. But as regards his views on the Law of Attraction and its existence or non-existence, I feel that Abraham as channelled by Esther Hicks is a much more credible authority.
I agree with Kinslow that we shouldn’t deny the existence of negative things. We should accept the reality of problems but focus on resolving them.
Kinslow has mentioned his disbelief in the Law of Attraction previously. It’s a sort of idée fixe with him.
At the end, we find a chapter about what he calls the theory of transformation, which is rather hard to follow.
I agree with him that the world can be saved by our all developing universal love (of course!) but this is easier said than done. He informs us that EuStillness is the basis of universal love, and Eufeeling is its expression.
In the glossary, EuStillness is defined as “Absolute Stillness. Unexpressed universal love. The lens through which pure awareness creates. The perception of Eufeeling before it takes form in the mind. (Also known as Pure Eufeeling.)”
I wouldn’t really recommend this particular book but would refer those interested in quantum entrainment and/or Eufeeling to his earlier books, e.g. “Eufeeling”.

Pročitala sam više od polovice ove knjige i onda odustala. To je inače vrsta literature koju volim i zaista pratim, ali ovaj autor uvjeren je da je otkrio Ameriku. Zato smo se morali rastati.
Self-helf literatura uči iste stvari, radi se samo o tome da svaki autor podučava drugačiji pristup temi, a na nama je da nađemo onaj koji nama odgovara. Zato nam neki autori odgovaraju, a drugi ne. Dojam koji sam ja dobila je da je Kinslow zaista uvjeren da podučava nešto drugo, a jedino što zapravo podučava je, kao i svi drugi, drugačiji pristup istome.
Njegova tvrdnja da "drugi podučavaju" da se trebamo siliti da "mislimo pozitivno", upravo onda kad se osjećamo najgore toliko je promašena da je to komično. Ako ste proučavali knjige koje su pisane o Zakonu privlačnosti, pozitivnome razmišljanju, vibraciji i slično, jasno vam je da ti autori nikad ne savjetuju da se silimo misliti pozitivno kad smo okruženi negativom. Ako to tvrde, onda su to loši autori koji su fulali temu. Ne vjerujem baš da je Kinslow naišao isključivo na takve, pa da bi na njima mogao temeljiti svoje tvrdnje.
Ono što nas oni uče jesu metode koje možemo primijeniti kako bismo se malo pomalo počeli osjećati sve manje loše, tako dugo dok se ne počnemo osjećati bolje. Podučavaju nas metodama koje koristimo, a njihova primjena je proces koji traje, a ne nešto što će se dogoditi u trenutku. Od 1 do 10 ne možemo doći bez da preskočimo sve brojeve između, a isto je i s našim emocijama. Od tuge do veselja postoji cijeli raspon njih i mi ih redom moramo osjećati. To je proces koji traje.
Isto tako, ne podučavaju da je meditacija vrijeme koje moramo provoditi u zamišljanju scenarija (to je samo jedna od metoda, a metode sami biramo, možemo odabrati neku drugu), već vrijeme koje koristimo kako bismo naučili svoje misli objektivno sagledati, bez da na njih reagiramo. Kako se ne bismo emocionalno upletali jer bez emocionalne upletenosti nema ni pozitivne ni negativne reakcije na misao. Kako bismo iskusili famoznu tišinu i mir koji za koje nam on tvrdi da je "otkrio".
Nemam ništa protiv njegovih metoda, smeta me samo što tvrdi da je on prvi koji ih podučava. Jer nije.
Drugim riječima, sve ono što on tvrdi da je "otkrio", ovi drugi koje je on očigledno krivo shvatio, to već odavna podučavaju.
Iskreno, sad sam već zbunjena. Ovaj autor nešto je opasno fulao. Ili (što je isto moguće) sam ja.

Toto je jedna z kníh, ktoré majú potenciál vystreliť čitateľa do inej dimenzie. Chce to však vôľu, na začiatku trochu snahy a hlavne netlačiť na pílu. Pre mňa osobne je ako Biblia, z ktorej sa dá každý deň čítať kdekoľvek ju otvoríte, lebo každý odsek sám osebe má čo povedať. Rovnaký účinok na mňa kedysi mala Tolleho Sila prítomného okamihu, o ktorej tvrdím, že mi zachránila život. A táto kniha ma zachránila tiež... Pomohla mi pohnúť sa smerom k Jednote, kam ako ľudstvo v rámci evolúcie momentálne kráčame. Pre mňa krásny zážitok:)

A truly Enjoyable read
A truly enjoyable read. The author write in a friendly conversational tone, that I found highly enjoyable about things that tie into a subject I’m keenly interested in ... the quality of my life experience, and experiences.

To me this was like painfully sieving for anything useful through 180+ pages of what felt like utter quack; the thing contains too many invented words along with what seems pseudoscientific blabber to me. I'm not sure why I finished it, maybe I was both amazed and incredulous it was this bad.

This is the latest of the author's books related to QE, and in this book the process is changed slightly and presented as an 'improvement', called 'EuStillness'. The book contains a number of techniques, which are slight variations on the previous QE processes, and all relate to resting in 'pure stillness' with the context of some practical application.
Strangely, I feel the author actually went backwards with this book. I felt much better with his previous books and methods on QE, which were simple and effective. In this book, it seems as if he were attempting to improve things, and only ended up further complicating the method, and adding an unnecessary step of moving from 'eufeeling' into 'eustillness', which are really the same thing. Even the first method 'the Nothing technique' seems a complicated version of the former method of stopping thoughts. As the book progresses, things get more complex, with final techniques related to decision making, transformation and other ideas.
The author's previous few works were brilliant, but in presenting this as a 'step beyond QE', I just can't see how that works or is as effective in simplicity, apart from giving some novelty to his material and confusing the whole situation. Hopefully, the author rectifies his 'system' over the coming years and goes back to the simplicity which he recommends.
