Book Description

3 Jan 2011

Sometimes we can lose touch with ourselves so much that we don't even know we have done so, until suddenly we realise with a start that we have just been going through the motions, without really experiencing our lives.

The simple fact is that in today's world, we spend so much time looking forward, rushing on to the next thing, or looking backwards, stressing and worrying about our perceived mistakes, that we rarely still ourselves and our minds enough to be truly in the present moment.

In One-Minute Mindfulness, Simon Parke uses stories and simple thoughts to help us see through clear eyes how we can return to the present moment and remain there. This subtle change can be startlingly healing, bringing peace into every area of our lives, allowing us to live freely and fully, and to honour what is true for each of us. Both inspiring and practical, this book is for anyone who wants to come home to themselves.

5.0 out of 5 stars Food for thought 13 Mar 2011
By Damaskcat HALL OF FAME TOP 50 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I read Shelf Life by the same author and was impressed by his ability to see meaning in everyday life so I thought I would try this book. It is a collection of thoughts and observations which can be read in one minute or less. It could be read straight through but I think the reader will miss a lot by doing this. It is better to dip into it a few pages at a time and think about what the author is saying.

There are thoughts on anger and despair and thoughts about letting go and forgiving. If you've ever noticed how the world seems to conspire against you when you're in a bad mood then this is the book for you. I found reading a few pages and thinking about what was being said really helped me when I was feeling down or upset. The author reminds you that there are more important things in the world and that pleasure can be obtained from everyday things - a sunny day, a smile.

Well worth keeping beside you to dip into when needed or perhaps when you wake up or before you go to sleep. I shall definitely be returning to this book again and again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Calm 30 April 2011
Format:Paperback
I am currently having Counselling and my Counselor often talks about being 'mindful' but i've never really fully understood the meaning of it.

This book doesn't patronise, or lecture you. It's not one of those 'self-help' books that say the same thing over and over again...leaving you with thinking "If only it were that simple..."

It's a series of little events....of analogies and meditations that cause you to think...and apply the meaning by yourself to your own situation.

Each mini meditation is no more than a page long, so it makes it easy to commit to reading one a day at least and it helps to re-focus your mind and bring you back to the present.

If you are, like me, a big thinker and a worrier, this book certainly helps you to think in a different way, but also enables you to make the decision to think that way for yourself.

An empowering and beautiful read! Without sounding too flowery, this book is changing my life.

Thank you!

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent overview of 'mindfulness' 11 Aug 2011
By Simon
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
A superb book and a good way to start each day. The book takes you through the process of mindfulness in short relevant vignettes with the emphasis of living in the present moment. This should be obvious to all but we frequently lose sight in the chase and minutia of every day life and it is all too easy to lose the wisdom so eloquently presented here. Highly recommended.

This book for me didn't really explain enough the meaning of living mindfully. I did read through it and may well pick it up again and give it another go.
