Book
Mindfulness for beginners : reclaiming the present moment--and your life / Jon Kabat-Zinn.
"Here, the teacher, scientist, and clinician who first demonstrated the benefits of mindfulness within mainstream Western medicine offers a book that you can use in three unique ways: as a collection of reflections and practices to be opened and explored at random; as an illuminating and engaging start-to-finish read; or as an unfolding "lesson-a-day" primer on mindfulness practice. Beginning and long-time meditators alike will discover in these pages a valuable distillation of the key attitudes and essential practices that Jon Kabat-Zinn has found most useful with his students, including: why heartfulness is synonymous with true mindfulness, the value of coming back to our bodies and to our senses over and over again, how our thoughts "self-liberate" when touched by awareness, moving beyond our "story" into direct experience, stabilizing our attention and presence amidst daily activities, three fundamental mental factors that cause suffering, how mindfulness heals, even after the fact, reclaiming our wholeness, and more."-- from publisher.
