Do you want to learn to meditate but don't know where to start?
Mindfulness meditation is a powerful tool of personal change. What seems a deceptively simple process has the potential to undo unwanted thoughts and behaviours and generate alternative ways of acting and thinking.
Mindfulness is traditionally a spiritual or religious process, but has been explored and studied by psychologist since the 1970’s and has been formalised into a number of therapeutic applications that have been shown to work with issues such as stress reduction, anxiety and depression and chronic pain.
This is a complete beginners guide and I have done my best to cover every aspect of the meditation process, simply and without fluff or padding. Including:
* Breathing, postural and relaxation exercise.
* How to sit in meditation to get the most benefit.
* Warm up exercises.
* The equipment that you need.
* A simple (yet very powerful) mindfulness meditation.
* How to incorporate mindfulness into your everyday life.
There is over 30 years of scientific evidence (and over 2500 years of anecdotal evidence!) that suggests that a simple practice of mindfulness meditation can:
* Slow the effects of ageing on the brain (it makes your brain “denser”!).
* Create razor sharp concentration
* Reduce stress and stress related illnesses and effects.
* Banish depression and the stranglehold of negative emotions
* Act more appropriately, spontaneously, in any situation (and feel more confident)
* Let go of cravings and attachments.
* Live more in the moment, not dwelling on the past or focusing on the future.
* Increase your sense of well being.
I firmly believe that a daily meditation routine is one of the best ways to improve your health and well being.
