Book Description
Techniques to deal with stress and foster a calmer outlook on life are offered through this series of meditations that encourage mindfulness, a concept that involves living in the moment, paying attention, and simply being rather than constantly doing, in daily life. Meditations that vary in their focus—on a simple phrase, the rhythm of breath, a part of the body—have been used for stress management and in hospitals where patients meditate to improve their health or feel better despite their illness.
