Having long been an avid reader of everything Gunilla Norris has written, I was thrilled when 'Inviting Silence' came out in 1994. It is simple, practical and very accessible. Everything I loved in 'Sharing Silence' is not only there but is enhanced with that lovely translucent clarity so outstanding in what Gunilla Norris writes. Thank you from my heart to her, to BlueBridge publishing for producing it and to Amazon.com for making it so easily available to us. Read it. I think you will agree that she shows us how and why the practice of silence is a gift to the universe -- one that we can all make.

Gunilla Norris offers wise, gentle and unencumbered encouragement to develop a peaceful practice. She provides beautiful teachings that allow us to connect tenderly with our innermost selves and the world by learning to be still. This is a wonderful book for people beginning to mediate but is also deeply nourishing for those further along in their practice.
