Marlise Karlin – The Simplicity of Stillness
I want everyone to recognize how extraordinary they truly are – that’s why I developed The Simplicity of Stillness to ignite that profound knowing within.
2. In your book The Power of Peace in You, you describe a profound experience can you tell us about it and how it changed your life?
My early life was full of challenges. My father was physically and verbally abusive, and when he put his fist through the only locked door in the house to get to me, I knew I had no choice but to go. I didn’t know where I was going or even how but I climbed out my window that night to begin my search for freedom.
Initially it led me down a few dark alleys, which included drugs and alcohol, later becoming a single mom. Ultimately these difficulties guided me to answers that propelled my life toward professional success, which included being an award winning film producer. I realized that wasn’t the answer when I became injured in 2001.
The previous 20 years of studying the mind, body connection, ancient scriptural teachings, healing traditions, and evolutionary science from masters in their respective fields culminated in a life altering experience that shifted my perception of what is now possible for each of us – to access the infinite intelligence that magnifies our true potential, heals the past, and inspires the future.
One morning I woke from a paralyzing sadness that seemed to have penetrated my whole body and mind. I kept hearing thoughts in my head – I’m not worthy… I’ll never know the freedom I want. I was overwhelmed with hopelessness.
