Mindfulness has become something of a buzzword in recent years, promoted as a panacea for all manner of issues. The problem is, that we are a culture that increasingly wants maximum results for minimum effort. Sadly mindfulness cannot meet such expectations. I wrote this book because, after more than twenty years of practicing mindfulness myself, I know the power, benefits, and fruits of doing so. I have also taught hundreds of people how to practice mindfulness and know from them that the power, benefits, and fruits of the practice are not specific to me. Additionally, I know from this that mindfulness can be learned and practiced by anyoneMindfulness is easy to understand and takes practice to do. The word, 'practice' is important. It removes whether we are doing it or not doing it, doing it right or wrong, we are simply practicing. It implies an acceptance that we are always beginning, always learning, always. We are practicing how to be mindful, how to be present, how to accept, to kindly witness. And there is the acceptance that we often aren't mindful, and will continue to forget to be.Practicing mindfulness is a commitment to a new relationship with ourselves, and every time we practice it is a new moment, and in it we begin again, always beginning in each new moment, curiously and kindly paying attention. In time our practice continues beyond the time of consciously practicing and more and more becomes how we are and live. This book gives very specific examples and the means to do so.Includes free meditation downloadable recording.
