Summary:
"An accessible guide from an expert on
Mindfulness
on
how
to
get
the most out of meditation--and make the
practice
a permanent part of
your
daily life. Meditation is supposed to be a
practice
that's relaxing and beneficial...so
why
is it so hard to commit to? Many people have taken workshops in meditation - a significant number don'
t
maintain their
practice
for long after the class is finished.
Mindfulness
can
help us relax and is great for coming to grips with thoughts that make us depressed or anxious, but it
can
also bring us into a more intimate relationship with ourselves--a prospect that
can
make some feel uncomfortable. Here are practical ways to help our
mindfulness
practice
flourish, featuring guidance from a wide spectrum of secular and Buddhist
mindfulness
teachers, and personal accounts by new meditators on what they find difficult and what helps them overcome those blocks. It takes what is boring, painful, or downright scary about meditating and shows
how
these struggles
can
become an invaluable part of our path. If you have been considering meditating but doubted
your
ability, if you are having a hard time continuing, or if you've reluctantly stopped, this book will help you
get
your
mindfulness
practice
back on
track
. Nigel Wellings is a psychoanalytic psychotherapist who works within a broadly contemplative perspective. He has been engaged with the relationship between psychotherapy and meditation for the last forty years. He lives in Bath."--Provided by publisher.
