An Invitation to the Practice of Mindfulness

We may long for wholeness suggests Jon Kabat-Zinn but the truth is that it is already here and already ours. The practice of mindfulness holds the possibility of not just a fleeting sense of contentment but a true embracing of a deeper unity that envelops and permeates our lives. With Mindfulness for Beginners you are invited to learn how to transform your relationship to the way you think feel love work and playand thereby awaken to and embody more completely who you really are.

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.

? 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 a
