A gentle, secular guide to Being Here Now,
By A Customer
This review is from: Wherever You Go, There You are (Paperback)
If you have ever wondered about meditaion and its possiblebenefits to your hectic life, but have been put off by its mystical, religious or paranormal associations in the popular culture, author Jon Kabat-Zin offers a gentle, secular introduction to the art of Being Here Now. "Now" is the present moment in which, with mindfulness, we can act with volition and not automaticity; to not simply react robotically, but break the cause-and-effect chain of external and internal stimuli. "Now" is where we can become authentically ourselves, and marshal our full potential. But focusing in the "Now", being aware without reacting, without abstractly analyzing, takes practice. Kabat-Zin shows us how to find our "Now" in the sensation of our breathing, either during meditation practice or in a mindful pause just before a meal. Then he shows us how to carry mindfulnes into the activity of our daily lives, so that we may find ourselves naturally proceding along "The Way". Throughout, Kabat-Zin's narrative and personal references are totally credible, evoking a surprisingly accessible intimacy with the reader. You will enjoy and benefit from this book even if you never sit on a pillow to meditate, but you will gain even more if you do.

This review is from: Wherever You Go, There You are (Paperback)
A wonderful and practical book. Merely reading it brings a sense of calm and takes one away from the troubles of daily life. Puts everything into perspective. Should be a must for every one, the world would be a better place if it was.
