The Still Point and the Dance

Introduction
This book doesn't merely describe an ‘alternative’ health system—it outlines a foundational understanding of health itself. You won't find a catalogue of remedies for silencing symptoms, as I believe symptoms are our body's way of communicating vital needs. Instead, you'll discover the true origins of illness and a path towards genuine healing.
​
By learning to listen to our bodies and respond to their needs, we unlock the keys to lasting health and well-being. Ignoring this wisdom has led us to a crisis of escalating healthcare costs, increasingly complex diseases, and a dearth of cures. This book offers a different path, one where we partner with our bodies to achieve optimal health.
​
Many people instinctively react to their body's warning signals by seeking to suppress them with medicine. The logic seems simple: no signal equals no problem. However, those signals are vital clues to restoring health.
​
Consider a high fever: it's a sign the body is actively fighting an illness. Artificially lowering the temperature doesn't cure the underlying issue. In fact, it can be counterproductive. Research shows that each 1-degree Fahrenheit rise in temperature doubles the body's metabolic rate, accelerating the elimination of the illness and potentially halving its duration.
​
Embracing these signals as allies, rather than adversaries, is key to unlocking a path towards genuine healing.
​
My quest for well-being and inner peace began at the age of 21, during my university years, when I recognised a lack of control over my thoughts. They would often leave me feeling overwhelmed and fearful for my sanity. In response, I turned to daily meditation.
After two decades of dedicated practice, I developed a profound understanding of the concept of life force – the vital energy that flows within us and connects us to the world. I discovered an intuitive ability to sense disruptions in this flow within others. Over the next ten years, I honed this skill, learning how to guide individuals towards clearing these blockages and facilitating their healing journey.
​
This practice became a window into the true nature of illness, revealing its root causes. By reaching a state of inner stillness, a ‘still point’, I gained understanding into the essence of health and the roles played by viruses, medicine, and doctors. These understandings are what I share in this book.
​
But here's the remarkable part: you don't need thirty years of meditation to access this wisdom. In fact, you can learn the entire technique in a matter of minutes.
​
After completing my university studies, I embarked on a career as a teacher, eventually transitioning into the fields of homeopathy and CranioSacral therapy. Through my experiences in these modalities, I began to develop a deeper understanding of health that diverged from conventional wisdom.
​
This led me to dedicate my time, resources, and passion to creating a unique healing approach known as the Boulderstone Technique. In 2011, I shared this knowledge in my book, ‘Living with Vitality’. Now, over a decade later, this new book represents a significant evolution, offering solutions to a wider range of health challenges.
​
I sincerely hope this updated work proves to be a valuable resource for you on your journey towards greater well-being.
While this book represents the culmination of my personal journey, it wouldn't exist without the support and guidance of countless individuals. My wife, Katharine, deserves special recognition for her unwavering encouragement and invaluable contributions. Her presence has been instrumental in bringing this work to life. For a more comprehensive list of those who have played a role, please refer to the Acknowledgements section at the end of the book.
