In this fourth edition of her best selling book, Pauline McKinnon describes how she found the answer to overcoming her own experience of agoraphobia by using a unique form of meditation. 'In Stillness Conquer Fear' is the record of her journey of discovery. Already thousands of readers have found its insights as illuminating as they are practical.

This is such a Wonderful Book!,
By A Customer
This review is from: In Stillness Conquer Fear: Overcoming Anxiety, Panic Attack and Agoraphobia (Paperback)
The author Pauline McKinnon overcame agoraphobia and panic disorder using a unique form of meditation which she calls stillness meditation. She was housebound with agoraphobia and became completely cured using meditation. In the book she describes her whole journey. From her first panic attack to becoming completely well. She also describes, in great detail, how to do stillness meditation and how long it will take to get well. Pauline McKinnon is also a psychotherapist. Another interesting note (not in the book): I have read that the actress Olivia Hussey (Romeo and Juliet) used and uses meditation to keep her agoraphobia in check.

Meditation really helps,
By Creampuff - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: In Stillness Conquer Fear: Overcoming Anxiety, Panic Attack and Agoraphobia (Paperback)
I've read quite a few books on panic attacks and anxiety. I found this book to be really helpful. It tells us that sometimes doctors, psychiatrists, and drugs are not enough to help us combat this disorder. Sometimes we just need to meditate and something happens inside of us that stills our minds and bodies, something that all the logic in the world cannot do. I am still meditating to this day and it works.
