CHRISTY FERGUSSON, AUTHOR OF HOT, HEALTHY, HAPPY

Sandy writes with such lucidity and calm. It would actually be quite difficult not to become calm while reading this book!
DAVID R. HAMILTON PHD, AUTHOR OF HOW YOUR MIND CAN HEAL YOUR BODY

I love this book. I can see myself using it time and time again to, as Sandy suggests, surrender to what is, go with the flow and simplify my life. Oh the joy of a mind that is calm.
RICHARD FLOOK, AUTHOR OF WHY AM I SICK?

Mind Calm is packed full of fantastic information that not only calms the mind, but elicits a potential that moves us towards genius.
The book allows the reader to fully realize that if we only listen to the mind, we quickly tire of its discourse. Whereas if we silence the mind we connect with Source. Hurrah for MIND CALM!
STEWART PEARCE, AUTHOR OF THE ALCHEMY OF VOICE

To all Teachers from all traditions who have shared the universal message:

Be Still and Know Who You Are.

Have you seen the Monty Python comedy sketch 100-Metre Dash for People with No Sense of Direction? Picture the scene: John Cleese, Michael Palin, Eric Idle and the rest of the runners are at the starting line. They are impatient and agitated as they wait for the starting gun to fire. Finally, the race begins, and everyone races off in different directions - meaning no one gets to the finishing line, no matter how fast they run. This sketch is a perfect metaphor for our mad-dash world, manic lifestyles and the chronic busyness that repeatedly takes us to our knees and makes us feel there must be a better way.

Where does this pressure come from to live so fast, to be so busy and so manic? Is it from society? Our upbringing? The media? Sandy Newbigging recognizes the external pressures, but he encourages us to look closer to home. In
