Description
Practicing mindfulness helps us approach life's challenges with gentleness and clarity. By fully engaging in the present moment as best we can, we nurture our capacity to meet difficulties with less judgment and cultivate wisdom and openheartedness. This book offers a concise and thorough introduction to the eight-week Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) course. It features straightforward instruction in the main exercises of MBSR, including sitting meditation, walking meditation, eating meditation, yoga, body scan, and informal, everyday practices. With clear guidance and illustrative real-life examples, readers can embark on a course in MBSR or gain a valuable tool for teaching others. MBSR has been shown to help alleviate symptoms associated with chronic illness, anxiety, pain, burnout, cancer, and other stress-related conditions. The authors provide step-by-step instructions to support those experiencing or receiving treatment for challenges of mind, body, or spirit.
