Welcome!
!
I want to convince you to practice Stopping.
!
I want to convince you that spending part of every day doing nothing is both
pleasurable and beneficial, that it can indeed be the difference between simply
surviving and thriving.
!
If you’re stressed, overbooked, overworked, anxious, hurried, and harried—if you
know you need to create more space for peace and balance in your life—the
simple practice of Stopping is for you.
!
And even if you’re not so stressed, Stopping can give you a simple system of
improving the balance of your life.
!
“Stopping is doing nothing, as much as possible, for a definite period
of time—whether a moment or a month—for the purpose of becoming
awake and remembering who you are and what you want.”
!
Stopping is nothing new, and it’s nothing at all like a quick fix or magic cure.
!
It’s based on a logical human process as well as on the teachings of literally all
major spiritual traditions; the briefest research into any one of them will reveal
rich material on the practice of Stopping, but with other names (for example,
meditation, contemplation, retreat, mysticism, inner life, soul work, spirituality,
etc.).
!
Thus Stopping fits with any spiritual or religious tradition, or with none, and is
designed specifically with the needs and propensities of the contemporary
Western mind and life styles.

Here’s a closer look

at the definition…
!
Doing Nothing: spending time with
nothing specifically to do. Just how do
you do nothing? What do you "do"
during these times? Again, nothing.
Just hang out, breathe, walk, sit, mess
around, pace, gaze out the window, wander down the lane, observe, notice,
daydream, take a break, slowly drink a glass of water, be still, practice smiling,
stretch…. The list is limitless.
!
As much as possible: Probably it’s not literally possible to do absolutely
nothing, but we want to get as close to that as possible. More than anything, one
should have a feeling of freedom, a feeling of having no pressing needs (even
though there are often pressing needs), and as complete a state of relaxation as
is possible right now. No need to be absolute about this.
!
For a definite period of time: Whether a moment or a month. The stopping time
can be from a few seconds to a few hours. These are Stillpoints. It can be a few
hours or an afternoon, called Stopovers. It can even be a longer time, a whole
day, a weekend, few weeks, or a month or more, which are Grinding Halts.
!
For the purpose of becoming awake and remembering who you are and
what you want: This is the ultimate purpose and motive for Stopping—to make
sure that we remain as awake and aware of what is going on in our lives as we
possibly can, and not allow the considerable and strong distractions of the culture
to blind us; to keep in mind—remember—what our ideals and goals and
standards are, and not allow them to be gradually and imperceptibly devoured
and distorted.

Here are some of the benefits of Stopping.

!
• It works—it does what it promises to do.
• It is totally simple—you probably already do it in some form or another; now
make it intentional and regular.
• It is easy—you just do nothing in whatever way you can at the moment.
• It's enjoyable—this is time of rest, renewal, with no agenda.
• No new equipment is needed.
• It accommodates all religions and spiritual systems—or none.
• You don’t have to join anything.
• And it costs nothing.
!
I guarantee that a day punctuated with little moments-of-doing-nothing
(Stillpoints) will bring you to its end more refreshed and centered than you might
expect.
!
A whole afternoon of doing nothing (Stopover) could become the cornerstone of
your week.
!
And if you get to the point of spending an extended time in quiet retreat (Grinding
Halt) you’ve already realized the benefits of Stopping.
!
Stopping will keep your life, your life.
!
I’m glad your here.
!
Warmly,

David

Meet David Kundtz!

!
“Would you please tell me, in
understandable language, just
what a “feeling” is?”
!
!
My writing career began when a client
of my counseling practice, a thirty-
something married man who was
clearly frustrated, asked me that
question.
!
“Oh” I responded, “that’s a great question and not so easy to answer.”
!
I made some notes for him on the topic and later (1990) turned them into a self-
published 40-page booklet, which became a successful small book, which
became Nothing’s Wrong: A Man’s Guide to Managing His Feelings, which is still
selling.
!
And I’m still writing. Seven books later, I see a common thread that runs through
all my work: Awareness. Specifically, trying to be as aware as possible of what is
actually going on right now, as well as in the whole arc of life, and helping others
to do the same.
(continued…)

(c) 2015 David Kundtz, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED! 8

 DavidKundtz.com

That idea is first and foremost in my writing and is well exemplified in my most
recent book Being Present: A Book of Daily Reflections. Awareness is also at the
heart of the practice of Stopping.
!
I’ve been fortunate to have a couple of best-sellers, Stopping: How to Be Still
When You Have to Keep Going and Quiet Mind: One Minute Mindfulness, the
latter being the best-selling of all.
!
Among the others is Nothing’s Wrong, mentioned above; an autobiographical
work, Coming To: A Biomythography; a follow up to Quiet Mind, titled Awakened
Mind: One Minute Wake Up Calls, and a work with a co-author on ministry.
!
In total, well over 100,000 books sold. A reviewer commented, “Kundtz is an
innovator in bringing the ancient wisdom of the world’s spiritual traditions to
modern readers, using language and concepts familiar to the contemporary, and
too often pre-occupied, western mind.”
!
My books have been translated into Spanish, German, Portuguese, Chinese, and
Japanese. My work has been featured in the Wall Street Journal, Redbook, the
Cleveland Plain Dealer, The Complete Woman, the Utne Reader, Body, Mind and
Spirit, and many more…as well as abroad in the Financial Express, Here’s
Health, The Irish News, and The Herald (Glasgow).
!
For some reasons that have faded into the mist of memory, I made a resolution
when I was a boy of about nine or ten that I would do my best not to “sit behind a
desk” for my life’s work. I would try to do something that would get me out and
about.
!
I have more-or-less stuck to that resolution, even though, here I am, sitting at my
desk, writing. I believe the feeling behind my youthful decision was a desire to do

(c) 2015 David Kundtz, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED! 9

 DavidKundtz.com

something I enjoyed, that had to do

with being helpful to people, and
allowed a certain amount of creativity.
!
So at the age of 21, I started out my
adult life by choosing something that
surprised my family and friends, and
in an odd way, even surprised me: I
entered a seminary to become a Catholic priest.
!
Of course, there are a lot of stories behind that decision, but in any event, so I
did, and in 1963, I entered the ordained ministry for some 20 enjoyable years and
many wide-ranging experiences. I did make a bid for independence by leaving
my secure and family-filled home of Cleveland, Ohio and leapt across the country
to do ministry in the unknown, beautiful state of Idaho, with a wonderful three-
and-a-half year service in Cali, Colombia.
!
Not everyone has a mid-life crisis, but I sure did and, as a result, I left religious
ministry and entered graduate school at the age of 42, earning a doctoral degree
in psychology at a school of the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley,
California.
!
That led to my second career: marriage and family therapist, a profession that I
love to this day. I first worked at a social service agency in Oakland, California
and then moved into a private practice in Berkeley for another 20 some years.
!
So—erstwhile priest, psychotherapist, and writer—Here I am and grateful to be.

iiiiiiiiii iiiiiiiiii iiiiiiiiii iiiiiiiiii iiiiiiiiii
!
This is a simple book, meant to make
your life more peaceful, more
rewarding, and more awakened. It
has one purpose: to give readers an
opportunity to be in the moment once
a day, every day.
!
Being Present is:
!
• Paying full attention to what is going
on right now
• Staying in the moment
• Observing what is, without criticism
or judgment
• Balanced concern for things exactly
as they are iiiiiiiiii iiiiiiiiii iiiiiiiiii iiiiiiiiii
• Accepting whatever experience we are having iiiiiiiiii iiiiiiiiii iiiiiiiiii iiiiiiiiii
• Having an awake participation in ongoing life iiiiiiiiii iiiiiiiiii
!
Longtime therapist and meditator David Kundtz gives you permission not to fret
about whether you’re getting your meditation practice right or not. It’s right. The
whole purpose of your meditation is to show up as awake and aware as possible
to your everyday life. He reminds us that the reason to meditate is not simply to
experience the peaceful moments of the meditation time, but also to maintain the
focus, awareness, and equanimity that you need for getting through stressful
situations. You become a more mindful person.
!
In Being Present, Kundtz guides us through the seasons of a year—and the
seasons of a life—drawing inspiration from poets and scientists, spiritual
teachers and children, butterflies and big cities. Each day is a surprise that helps
readers to find their own moments in surprising ways.

Stopping Is Actually Quite Simple!

!
The easy part of convincing you to practice Stopping is clear: Who doesn’t like to
kick back, relax with nothing to do, just hang out and chill? It’s restful, relaxing,
and appealing.
!
And when we really stop to analyze it, the process of Stopping is logical and
conforms to our sense of reality and our understanding of ourselves, of the way
human beings are.
!
Where it gets challenging is in our cultural norms. Stopping goes against almost
everything the predominant culture encourages and rewards: speed, getting
ahead, getting bigger, and getting it first.
!
It also may seem like a waste of time; many people, because of the way we were
taught, feel guilty or even afraid of doing nothing.

(c) 2015 David Kundtz, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED! 14

 DavidKundtz.com

It can also seem, well, sort of simplistic or almost naïve—that is it may seem that
way until you try it—for a minute or a week, and allow it's benefits to become
evident.
!
Then the power and truth, the effects and the joys of Stopping become quite
clear.
!
Maybe you’re in business and focused on the bottom line, struggling to grow,
anxious to gain a competitive advantage. Then maybe you cringe at the thought
of Stopping. "Why would I Stop? The idea is to Go!"
!
But the Going is getting us into deep trouble: physical and mental illnesses,
careless decisions, and thoughtless acts.
!
That is, if you are going without first Stopping.

!

Why and How Stopping Can Work For You!

!
The practice of Stopping is based on the following logic:

We all live in a very fast-paced world, we have no choice about that. We are such
a rushed society, zooming through life as if running scared. We tend to treat
moments of stillness as strangers, even as enemies, or at best as a waste of
time.
!
And the complexity of life is increasing, not leveling off, and certainly not
decreasing. Living a fast-paced, unrelenting, and over-full life invariably becomes
a distracted life. That is, a life that can easily go in an unwanted but un-noticed
direction. So before you know it, you are in a situation that you really don’t want
to be in.
!
It’s a logical, inevitable process: A fast-paced life, leads to a distracted life, which
means you easily miss cues and lose awareness—and you forget the reasons
why you made your original choices and what is important to you.
!
Forgetfulness and distraction are no state in which to begin any project, personal
or business. It is a set up for failure.
!
Then comes the last and most harmful stage of the distracted life: You forget that
you forgot. One can feel very lost in that state. Thus we risk waking up one cold,
gray morning when we think we're too old to change and realize that we missed
the life we wanted.
!
Stopping is the antidote to this state because it gives you the time and space to
remember what you need to remember and become more fully awake to your
life. This of course does not happen suddenly or all at once, but gradually, over a

(c) 2015 David Kundtz, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED! 16

 DavidKundtz.com

period of time, your original and authentic self will emerge. You will value your
Stopping times not only as necessary, but immensely enjoyable.
!
This kind of quiet time used to be very common to human life. It just naturally
happened in the spaces between the events of our lives: the walk to work or
school, hours in the fields with a lot of time to think, quiet moments waiting for the
pot to boil, the radio to warm up, the rain to stop. Sadly—no, tragically—these
Stopping moments, these quiet times, are now rare or non-existent. And if they
do come our way, our immediate tendency is to fill them with even more activity.
!
When you are in the habit of Stopping, you begin to hear the inner promptings
that have always been trying to get your attention; but you have been moving too
fast, and world around you has been too loud, for you to hear them.
!
The principle was stated well by the writer Milan Kundera: Speed is to forgetting
as slowness is to remembering. In other words, the faster you go, the more you
forget. When you slow down, you begin to remember.
!
“Speed is to forgetting…as slowness is to remembering”

Stillpoints: The Simplest Form of Stopping!

!
“Except for the point, the still point,
There would be no dance, and there is only the dance.”
—-T. S. Eliot
!
1. Here’s how you can do a S t i l l p o i n t…
!
• Pause a moment…and just
stay as you are, probably in
front of your computer.
• Now, briefly relax your
body as much as possible,
letting go of tensions.
• Then take a deep, relaxing
breath. S-l-o-w-l-y, take
another.
• Now take a moment to
think of someone, or
something, you love or
enjoy… Got it in mind?
• Okay, as you gently hold that image of what you love in your mind softly close
your eyes for five or ten seconds. That's it ! That's one example of a Stillpoint.
!
2. Here’s another, perhaps at work…
!
• Cease whatever you are doing at the moment, walk to a window and look out.
(If there's no window, simply look around you) Just look. Notice what you see.
!
Just notice, that's all.

(c) 2015 David Kundtz, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED! 18

 DavidKundtz.com

• Be still. Simply noticing whatever is before your eyes, nothing more. This is time
with no agenda.
!
• Let some time pass, a few seconds, a few minutes, no matter. Just lose track of
time a bit. Doing nothing, your mind wandering.
!
• Focus on your breathing. Notice yourself breathing in and breathing out. In and
out. In and out. Perhaps your eyes have now closed, maybe not.
!
• A last deep breath…
!
(You can do them anywhere, any time.)
!
3. This is a good one, whenever you're feeling impatient…
!
• Begin with a few deep breaths to relax and bring oxygen to your body.
!
• Slowly, quietly, with no sense of obligation, begin to count your blessings.
!
• Keep them coming.
!
• Breathe….
!
4. Another example, in the car waiting for a red light…
!
• Fix your eyes on the red light, a symbol now of a quiet Stopping moment.
!
• Relax your hold on the wheel and take slow, deep breaths.
!
• For the remainder of the red light simply Be Here Now. That's all.
!
(c) 2015 David Kundtz, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED! 19
 DavidKundtz.com

5. Or while you're at home, just after dinner…

!
• Step outside for a few moments, perhaps walking in the neighborhood, or just
standing outside.
!
• Look at the sky. Notice what you see, or what you don't see: Color - black?
blue? gray? Are there stars? moon? sun? an airplane? Just notice whatever is
there.
!
• Now just feel yourself as under the sky. Just that.
!
• Breathe deeply and again be aware of yourself: breathing - now - under the sky.
!
6. Or while you're waiting in line somewhere…
!
• Begin with a few deep breaths to relax and bring oxygen to your body
!
• Slowly, quietly, with no sense of obligation, begin to count your blessings.
!
• Keep them coming.
!
• Breathe….
!
7. Or on the weekend, when no one's home…
!
• Begin by sitting in a comfortable place for a few moments and focus on your
quiet breathing
!
• Look around you.
!
• Just look.

(c) 2015 David Kundtz, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED! 20

 DavidKundtz.com

• After a little while, quietly get up and take a walk around your home seeing the
things you take for granted: an old chair you like, a dresser, a bed, a rug, a lamp
from someplace, a photo…
!
• Return to your comfortable place
!
• End with a simple wish (or prayer, or desire, or hope, or…)
!
Now you've got the idea. You can create Stillpoints so they happen any time,
anywhere, in any way you want. You can add a prayer you like, or a meaningful
gesture. The more personal, the more effective.
!
The essential ingredients are simple:
!
1. Stop what you are doing.
2. Breathe.
3. Do Nothing, any way you want to.
!
When you come to the end of a day with many Stillpoints you'll feel more relaxed,
more awake and, most importantly, more ready to go on.
!
Stillpoints make the dance (life!) successful and satisfying.
!
Total simplicity! Amazing power!
!
