In short
“Sitting Still” is a quiet reflection on silence as an inner state—peace that exists even when the world is loud. It argues that silence isn’t just lowering external volume; it’s creating space within your mind by letting thoughts, worries, feelings, and unnecessary voices move on.
Guest backgrounds
No episode guests appear as interview subjects. The transcript includes a rotating lineup of smooth jazz/instrumental artists who introduce themselves: Darrell Evan Jones (ambassador of instrumental soul), JC Soul (international recording artist), Castella (singer-songwriter), Leon Presley (saxophonist), Marcia Mijay (international recording artist), Matt Lee (smooth jazz saxophonist), Carmen Bruner (jazz vocalist), Terrence Thompson (producer/songwriter/artist), Hashima Moja (bassist/vocalist), and Mary Cross (independent artist/singer-songwriter/stylista).
Key claims
A “mind can still be loud” in a quiet room; not every thought/feeling/voice deserves mental space; slowing down and releasing mental clutter creates ease and clarity.
Notable examples
“Space between thoughts,” “space before reacting,” and “space to breathe” are presented as practical forms of inner silence.

From the publisher
Sitting Still is about more than physical stillness. We can sit quietly while our minds race with worries, distractions, and endless to-do lists. Real stillness begins on the inside.
In this episode of Dr. Davina's Dots we explore how slowing our thoughts, creating space to breathe, and becoming present can help us experience a deeper sense of calm. Sometimes rest doesn't come from stopping what we're doing, it comes from slowing down and quieting what is happening within us.
