Mindfulness
for Beginners by Dr Jon Kabat-Zinn
What if you could profoundly change your life just by
becoming more mindful of your breathing? According to Jon Kabat-Zinn, you can.
What if "paying attention on purpose and non-judgmentally" could
improve your health? Again, according to Dr. Kabat-Zinn—it can. On
Mindfulness for Beginners, this internationally known scientist, best-selling
author, and teacher who brought mindfulness meditation into the mainstream of
medicine and society gives you immediate access to a practice that can
potentially add years to your life, and will certainly enhance the quality of
your moments and your years. Join Dr. Kabat-Zinn to:
• Explore five guided meditations that lead you breath by breath into the
essence of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), a program offered in
medical clinics and hospitals around the world
• Cultivate the Seven Key Attitudinal Factors of MBSR—qualities of heart
and mind that lay the foundation for mindfulness practice and for seeing and
accepting things as they are as a first step to working wisely and
compassionately with stress, pain, illness, and sorrow as well as life's joys
and pleasures—Zorba's "full catastrophe"
• Free yourself from limiting perspectives, and become more intimate with
your own boundless awareness
"You're already in the perfect moment for inhabiting this liberating
awareness, which is always available," teaches Jon Kabat-Zinn. With
Mindfulness for Beginners, he invites you to cultivate mindfulness as if your
life depended on it, which it surely does, and experience the magnitude and
beauty of who you already are.
Practicing The Power of Now - Eckhart Tolle
Essential Teachings, Meditations, and Exercises from The Power of Now
The author is a pre-eminent expert on the power available to us when we
focus on our immediate experiences rather than thinking abstractly about the
past or future. At every moment, we have what we need to actualize our
talents, connect fully with others, and dissolve the painful spaces between
what we want and who we are. With language and ideas that will require some
adaptation from many listeners, the author invites us to surrender our
resistance to our true nature, which will be revealed to us when we stop
trying to control everything. This eloquent lesson on practicing the author's
ideas develops more momentum and comprehensibility as the program moves along,
even for new students of this approach to life.
