The Miracle of Mindfulness




I love, love this book. I believe everyone should own it, use and live by it.
Here is a quick overview:


Zen master Nhat Han blends several different methods of teaching in his
examples to show how a mind that is meditative and conscious at all times can “reveal
and heal”. He is the master at helping the reader reach a calm state of mind, a refuge within ourselves. Reminding us that “ there is a only one important time and this is now”.
Over time, mindfulness can bring about long-term changes in mood and overall levels of happiness and well being. Mindfulness is about observation without criticism; as well as
being compassionate to yourself. In essence, mindfulness allows you to catch negative thought patterns before they tip you toward a downward spiral. It begins the process of putting you back in control of your life again. Mindfulness meditation is so beautifully simple that it can done at any moment, day or night. Being aware of what you are feeling and acknowledging it, taking charge of that moment and embracing the beauty around
you.
