Jon Kabat-Zinn — Opening to Our Lives and a Science of Mindfulness (Dec 27, 2012)

Guided Mindfulness By Jon Kabat - Zinn

The landmark work on mindfulness, meditation, and healing, now revised and updated after twenty-five years &#160; Stress. It can sap our energy, undermine&#160; our health if we let it, even shorten our lives. It makes us more vulnerable to anxiety and depression, disconnection and disease. Based on Jon Kabat-Zinn&rsquo;s renowned mindfulness-based stress reduction program, this classic, groundbreaking work&mdash;which gave rise to a whole new field in medicine and psychology&mdash;shows you how to use medically proven mind-body approaches derived from meditation and yoga to counteract stress, establish greater balance of body and mind, and stimulate well-being and healing. By engaging in these mindfulness practices and integrating them into your life from moment to moment and from day to day, you can learn to manage chronic pain, promote optimal healing, reduce anxiety and feelings of panic, and improve the overall quality of your life, relationships, and social networks. This second edition features results from recent studies on the science of mindfulness, a new Introduction, up-to-date statistics, and an extensive updated reading list. Full Catastrophe Living is a book for the young and the old, the well and the ill, and anyone trying to live a healthier and saner life in our fast-paced world. &#160; Praise for Full Catastrophe Living &#160; &ldquo;To say that this wise, deep book is helpful to those who face the challenges of human crisis would be a vast understatement.

Engaging Your Senses

Listen to an excerpt of Sharon Salzberg's REAL LOVE audiobook, read for you by the author.

You are a person worthy of love. You don't have to do anything to deserve all the love in the world.

Real Love is a creative tool kit of mindfulness exercises and meditation techniques that help you to truly engage with your present experience and create deeper love relationships with yourself, your partner, friends and family, and life itself.

Sharon Salzberg, a leading expert in Lovingkindness meditation, encourages us to strip away layers of negative habits and obstacles, helping us to experience authentic love based on direct experience rather than preconceptions. Across three sections Sharon explains how to dispel cultural and emotional habits and direct focused care and attention to recapture the essence of what it is to love and be loved.

With positive reflections and practices, Sharon teaches us how to shift the responsibilities of the love that we give and receive to rekindle the powerful healing force of true connection. By challenging myths perpetuated by popular culture, we can undo the limited definitions that reduce love to simply romance or passion and give the heart a much needed tune-up to connect ourselves to the truest experience of love in our daily lives.
