Journey into Mindfulness by Patrizia Collard

Journey into Mindfulness by Patrizia Collard

Journey into Mindfulness 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 easy-to-follow practical guide shows you enjoyable and effective ways to slow down, and develop awareness of your thoughts, actions and the environment around you. Within these pages you will find step-by-step breathing exercises, 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 essential book by leading mindfulness educator and author Dr Patrizia Collard, you will discover meditations and body movements to combat stress and anxiety; learn how to manage fear, procrastination and change; eat better, love more and ultimately feel the joy of being 'in the now'.
