Summary:
"Thousands of years ago, when we humans lived together in communal caves, we told stories about the
stars
. When we later took to the seas, we used stellar positions to navigate and pinpoint our place in the world. When we eventually stopped migrating and settled on land, we relied on the constellations and the
Sun
to plant and sustain crops. Yet today, we modern humans have lost this deep connection to the cosmos that was once central to our daily lives.
Astronomical
Mindfulness
helps us reconnect to the solar system once more, guiding us through the fundamental ways in which our planet moves through the solar system and how these motions determine our perception of time and place. Offering a concise yet in-depth look at the
Sun
, the
Moon
, the
planets
, and the
stars
, it teaches us to observe and understand the elements comprising the celestial sphere ; deepening our lives and helping us become more informed, engaged, and mindful every day. The best part: you don't need to climb a mountain, visit an observatory, or even own a telescope. From an apartment rooftop to a city park, from
your
backyard to the window by
your
desk, the skies are accessible to everyone. '
Astronomical
Mindfulness
' is a unique tool for personal growth essential to coping in our modern world, enabling us to be more present, more connected, and more relaxed simply by looking up toward the
stars
."
