Calming the Storms

‘There is a place at the heart of a storm where we can find a point of stillness, a new beginning where we can return to a centred, deep and meaningful existence.’

The busyness and anxieties of our modern world can often leave us eager to find places of calm in our lives, where we can process our thoughts and feelings and make sense of what is going on around us and inside us.

In Calming the Storms, Brother Richard draws on three decades of practising and teaching Christian meditation to show us how to begin a transformative, nourishing and achievable meditative practice. Through practical exercises and everyday mindful moments, this book shows us how to anchor ourselves in times of storm and build a practice that guides us to a life of greater wisdom, peace and happiness.

Brother Richard is a Capuchin Franciscan priest-friar and author of Still Points: A Guide to Living the Mindful, Meditative Way. He teaches Christian meditation and mindfulness in Dublin.
