How to Train a Wild Elephant by Jan Chozen Bays
A growing body of research is showing that mindfulness can reduce stress, improve physical health, and improve one's overall quality of life. Jan Chozen Bays, MD-physician and Zen teacher-has developed a series of simple practices to help us cultivate mindfulness as we go about our ordinary, daily lives. Exercises include- taking three deep breaths before answering the phone, noticing and adjusting your posture throughout the day, eating mindfully, and leaving no trace of yourself after using the kitchen or bathroom. Each exercise is presented with tips on how to remind yourself and a short life lesson connected with it.Jan Chozen Bays, MD, is a Zen teacher from the late master Taizan Maezumi Roshi's White Plum lineage.
