About the Book

At the heart of mindfulness is simplicity. And Jon Kabat-Zinn--the teacher who awakened western medicine to its powerful health benefits 32 years ago-- just made it even simpler and more inviting. Mindfulness for Beginners is a new treasury of teachings and practices to inspire those new to meditation--40 small, bright candle-flames of wisdom that show us how to: Dissipate stress and enter the joyful stream of present moment awarenessReenergize the body and clear the mind to navigate the storms and crises of life Bring compassionate attention to challenging situations and relationships

Here, Kabat-Zinn reveals the beauty and wonder hidden within the practices taught within MBSR (mindfulness-based stress reduction) to create a book that can be enjoyed in different ways: as a box of teaching gems to be opened and explored on whim, as an unfolding "practice a-day" program, or as an engaging start-to-finish primer on living a more mindful life. For the millions transformed by Jon Kabat-Zinn's classic writings on mindfulness, the mind-body connection, and health--or for anyone seeking the benefits of this profound interior work--Mindfulness for Beginners will be a welcome source of inspiration and instruction. Contains audio CD with book.
