Book Review: Breathe in powerful, calm and peace
Summary: 5 Stars
Kabat-Zinn does a wonderful job of applying meditative living to one's moment-to-moment, reality accepting life. Your personal power and clarity for your best life are not in ruminations about the past, not in fear or expectations for the future. The Divine is in the NOW. This book provides a connection to the guidance available in you (from your highest self) to experience life with all of your senses and a knowing that it is about the JOURNEY; not what you did or didn't do; not about judgement or pressure for tasks undone. It is a teaching for living without judgement and with complete acceptance of the way things ARE, NOW. RIGHT NOW. It is about honouring all of the feelings and thoughts you have and knowing that they are only thoughts and feelings. They are not who you are or who you think you should be. It is about NO SHOULDS, OUGHTS, or SHOULD HAVES. Mindfulness is not easy, at least it is not for me, but you practice as best you can and come back to it if you let your thoughts and feelings live you, instead of you recogizing them and letting them pass as the temporary works of your ego and flight or fight reactions (autonomous work of your body) that they are. The book is particulary effective when combined with a daily practice of meditation. Kabat-Zinn has several books. I highly recommend them all. This way of living has supported me out of the effects of a brain injury and a major several year depression. Make this commitment to honouring yourself and your life just as it's bud opens, just as it is it's most fragrant and extant with infinite possibility.
Summary of Wherever You Go, There You Are (ROUGH CUT)
The time-honored national bestseller, updated with a new afterword, celebrating 10 years of influencing the way we live.When Wherever You Go, There You Are was first published in 1994, no one could have predicted that the book would launch itself onto bestseller lists nationwide and sell over 750,000 copies to date. Ten years later, the book continues to change lives. In honor of the book's 10th anniversary, Hyperion is proud to be releasing the book with a new afterword by the author, and to share this wonderful book with an even larger audience.
In his follow-up to Full Catastrophe Living--a book in which he presented basic meditation techniques as a way of reducing stress and healing from illness--here Jon Kabat-Zinn goes much more deeply into the practice of meditation for its own sake. To Kabat-Zinn, meditation is important because it brings about a state of "mindfulness," a condition of "being" rather than "doing" during which you pay attention to the moment rather than the past, the future, or the multitudinous distractions of modern life. In brief, rather poetic chapters, he describes different meditative practices and what they can do for the practitioner. The idea that meditation is "spiritual" is often confusing to people, Kabat-Zinn writes; he prefers to think of it as what you might call a workout for your consciousness. This book makes learning meditation remarkably easy (although practicing it is not). But it also makes it seem infinitely appealing. --Ben Kallen
