Journey into Mindfulness: Gentle ways to let go of stress and live in the moment

Description

This book gently, but expertly, explains the principles of Mindfulness, and shows how its rituals can help you find a path to better, less stressful, living. Being in the present moment can be harder than we think in a tech-filled world of to-do lists. This guide shows you easy, enjoyable and effective ways to slow down and develop awareness of your thoughts, actions and the environment. Exercises include step-by-step breathing and sound, eating, and walking meditations and movement sequences inspired by chi gong, tai chi and yoga to bring the mind and body into the present moment. In this fully illustrated book by leading mindfulness educator and author Dr Patrizia Collard, discover the meditations and body moves to combat stress and anxiety, deal with fear and procrastination, eat better, manage change, love more and ultimately feel the joy of being 'in the now'.
