Book Description | Practicing mindfulness helps us meet life’s challenges with gentleness and clarity. By fully engaging in the present moment as best we can, we nurture our capacity to approach difficulties with less judgment and water the seeds of wisdom and open heartedness in ourselves. This book offers a concise and thorough immersion in the eight-week mindfulness-based stress reduction (mbsr) course developed by dr. Jon kabat-zinn. It features straightforward instruction in the main exercises of mbsr ― sitting meditation, walking meditation, eating meditation, yoga, body scan, and informal, everyday practices. Mbsr has been shown to help alleviate symptoms associated with chronic illness, anxiety, pain, burnout, cancer, and other stress-related conditions |

Editorial Review | This book does a magnificent job of rendering not only the curriculum of mbsr but, even more importantly, its feeling tone, gently emphasizing that it takes energy and sustained commitment to practice and embody mindfulness. I am grateful that this book is now available as a skillful gateway into mbsr, mindfulness, and one’s own life in the face of stress, pain, illness, and the human condition itself. |
