Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What's possible for you when you open your heart? Mindfulness is the practice of living in the moment with focused attention. It's a life-changing practice that teaches us to set aside our random, unhelpful thoughts to focus on the here and now. We learn to get out of heads and engage more fully in life. "Heartfulness" is being mindful of our heart in the present moment using this focused attention to see, hear, touch, and engage with the world around us through our heart. We learn to connect with who we are and who we really want to be. Author Tracey Moore integrates the heart in this follow-up to her first journal "100 Days of Mindfulness: Presence." In this "Heart" journal, Tracey shares mindfulness techniques focused on tuning into your heart physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Embark on a journey of your heart. Tracey's journal is easy-to-do and doesn't require extensive writing. You aren't faced with lots of blank space to fill or asked intimidating questions. This journal is simple and straightforward. In fact, you'll complete just one short page a day. The intention is to hold yourself accountable to doing the work, not writing a novel about it. Each day, you'll list what you're grateful for and acknowledge yourself for big and small successes. This establishes a practice of gratitude. You'll also do a simple "heartfulness" exercise each day, then reflect on it through writing. See what happens when you integrate your heart in your life! See what possibilities open up to you. This could be big!
Download or read book Into the Heart of Mindfulness written by Ed Halliwell and published by Piatkus Books. This book was released on 2016-06-02 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plagued by anxiety and depression for much of his twenties and early thirties, Ed Halliwell frantically searched for ways to understand and relieve his distress. Eventually he stumbled on meditation and Buddhism, and discovered a path that was different from the other medical, psychological and spiritual cures he had grasped for. The way of mindfulness started to transform his life, from a relentless push to achieve pleasure and resist pain, into a willingness to experience each moment as precious, even when it was unpleasant. To his surprise, the more he practised this way of being, the less depressed and anxious he became. A one-time editor for FHM magazine, Ed's life has changed - he now teaches mindfulness to others. In this book he explores how mindfulness can help us see and transform our unhelpful biases and habits; how it can help us be at peace with the pain, stress and uncertainty of life; how it can help us cultivate kindness, empathy, steadfastness and cheerfulness; and how it can help us to find our life's calling. Offering his own experiences as inspiration, Ed emphasises that mindfulness training is a lifelong path and complete way of being rather than just a short course or quick fix. With practical advice and personal warmth, he explores how opening to the mystery of mindfulness, rather than trying to 'get results' from it, seems to be the paradox from which its benefits arise.

Book excerpt: "Jenifer Madson captures the heart of the simple. I loved it. All of it. You will, too." —Karen Casey, PhD, author of The Good Stuff from Growing Up in a Dysfunctional Family Head to Heart gently guides us to cultivate (and sustain) those moments of clarity—the awakenings of everyday life—and to embrace and grow from them all, no matter how joyful or painful. "Awakening…think of it as something we need to do every day; it is a process, a gradual awareness and growing insight," Madson writes. Practice awakening to: generate more compassion or love, create an unshakable sense of well-being, better understand your mind and surroundings, find answers to specific challenges, or all of the above. Practice can happen anywhere, any time: on the mat or on the move, sitting or walking, in silence or conversation, alone or with a group; in short, whenever you are consciously pointing your mind toward greater clarity and service while connecting with the Spirit, you are meditating and preparing to awaken. Head to Heart times 365. Each brief meditation opens to the promise of peace, joy, and purpose.
Download or read book The Sun My Heart written by Thich Nhat Hanh and published by Parallax Press. This book was released on 2006-02-09 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This sequel to The Miracle of Mindfulness offers accessible, eye-opening guidance for spiritual seekers on the path from mindfulness to true insight The Sun My Heart is one of Thich Nhat Hanh’s most beloved books. Using the objects and events of everyday life in his hermitage in Plum Village—the gradual settling of the pulp in a glass of apple juice or the wind blowing into the room and scattering papers about—Thich Nhat Hanh draws from Buddhist psychology, epistemology, and the world of contemporary literature and science to guide the reader along the path of clarity and understanding. This book can be read straight through, but is also designed to be opened randomly and experienced chapter by chapter, paragraph by paragraph. Thich Nhat Hanh suggests in the introduction that The Sun My Heart “prefers to be a friend rather than a book. You can take it with you on the bus or subway as you do your coat or your scarf. It can give you small moments of joy at any time.”

Download or read book Awakening the Kind Heart written by Kathleen McDonald and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2010-05-10 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everyone appreciates kindness. A smile, a few friendly words, a show of concern when we're troubled or feeling unwell, an offer of help - gestures of kindness like these brighten our day and ease whatever sadness we may feel in our hearts. Feeling that "someone cares" fulfills a very deep need that we all have. And just as we appreciate other people being kind to us, others appreciate it when we are kind to them. That is why it is important to learn to be kind, because it will help make our relationships and interactions with others more satisfying and less problematic. But it's not always easy to be kind. Sometimes our hearts are filled with anger, jealousy, or pride, and being kind is the last thing we feel like doing. Or we get so caught up in our work and responsibilities that we find no time to think of others and their needs, no time to be kind and gentle. However, these problems can be remedied. The Buddhist tradition offers a wealth of methods that can be used to overcome whatever prevents us from being kind and gentle. Some of these methods are explored and explained in this book - in a way that will allow you to practice them in your daily life. Awakening the Kind Heart offers powerful and inviting meditation techniques to activate the heart of kindness within us all - a modern and motivating interpretation of traditional and powerful practices.

Download or read book Mindfulness written by Joseph Goldstein and published by Sounds True. This book was released on 2016-03-01 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The mind contains the seeds of its own awakening—seeds that we can cultivate to bring forth the fruits of a life lived consciously. With Mindfulness, Joseph Goldstein shares the wisdom of his four decades of teaching and practice in a book that will serve as a lifelong companion for anyone committed to mindful living and the realization of inner freedom. Goldstein’s source teaching is the Satipa??hana Sutta, the Buddha’s legendary discourse on the four foundations of mindfulness that became the basis for the many types of Vipassana (or insight meditation) found today. Exquisite in detail yet wholly accessible and relevant for the modern student, Mindfulness takes us through a profound study of: • Mindfulness of body, including the breath, postures, activities, and physical characteristics • Mindfulness of feelings—how the experience of our sense perceptions influences our inner and outer worlds • Mindfulness of mind—learning to recognize skillful and unskillful states of mind and thought • Mindfulness of dhammas (or categories of experience), including the Five Hindrances, the Six Sense Spheres, and the Seven Factors of Awakening "There is a wealth of meaning and nuance in the experience of mindfulness that can enrich our lives in unimagined ways," writes Goldstein. In Mindfulness you have the tools to mine these riches for yourself.
