According to the author, "stopping" is a simple, straightforward, contemplative system of "doing nothing, as much as possible, for a definite period of time, for the purpose of becoming more awake and remembering who you are" so you can get going again in a more purposeful and centered way. This book shows readers how to achieve stopping, and see the light of grace even in the most hectic of times.
