What do you think of when you hear the word meditation? A quiet room filled with monks? An Instagram influencer? What about moving meditation? Yoga? Tai Chi? For too long, meditation in books has focused on specific periods of meditation, rather than mediation through fitness or daily activities.

In Make Every Move a Meditation, award-winning author, meditation leader, and mental health advocate Nita Sweeney shows us fitness can be mindfulness. She teaches us how to bring meditation and mindfulness into any activity by incorporating centuries-old techniques. Studies show that both exercise and meditation reduce anxiety, stabilize blood pressure, improve mood and cognition, and lead to a deeper self-relationship and wisdom. Movement is medicine, and meditation is medicine.

Book excerpt: How to Meditate for Beginners - Learn some of the best meditation methods and techniques that will help you to calm your mind in order to hear the voice of your heart and ultimately become a better version of yourself! There is a lot of misinformation on meditation today and many people don't understand what it really means; most of those who do understand have trouble actually practicing it and they fail to benefit from it. If we take that meditation is a conscious process through which we can calm our hectic minds and relax (though it goes much deeper than that), it can be very hard and even repulsive to try and actually do so successfully. What you have to understand first is that there are many ways to meditate - all for the same purpose - and some ways may be more suitable for you than others. That's why in this book you're going to discover what it really means to meditate, why is it a good idea to incorporate meditation into your everyday life, what are the best ways to start incorporating this life changing ritual, and how to go about it. You will learn about the 7 amazing meditation methods (so that you can choose the best method for yourself) and how to use them in order to get the maximum benefits. You'll also learn what those benefits are and how meditation helps you. For some of these you've probably heard about before, while other methods are a little bit less known and somewhat unconventional. In each case, this book gives you a detailed description and explains how they should be performed. It uses a practical approach explaining everything step-by-step in a way that is suitable for beginners to understand. Practicing meditation through the methods described in this book will help you to clear your mind so that you can hear the voice of your intuition and follow your heart through life. Following your heart with courage and faith is what will lead you to living a life without regrets, which is an extraordinary life. These methods will help in discovering your true self, which will undoubtedly help transform you into a happier and more fulfilled person who can really enjoy life. Information in this book will help you: If you're looking to be more happy and fulfilled in life If you have trouble finding your true self and what it is that you want in life Find happiness from within rather than from the outside sources Relieve stress and anxiety Be more in control of yourself and your emotions Be less depressive and more expressive, authentic and beautiful person you are Be more fun, charismatic and creative And more...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: FOLLOW ELIZABETH DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE-AND MEET A WHOLE NEW ALICE. Elizabeth, a twenty-four-year-old interior designer living in Brooklyn, New York, encounters a little more than mental static when she sits down for her morning meditation, feeling disconnected from herself and her reality. As she meditates, she forces herself to confront her inner demons head on-including the darker parts that she would rather keep hidden from others, like her boyfriend, Adam. Her inner conflict leads her down a rabbit hole that is far different from the one she remembers from her favorite childhood story. When Elizabeth reaches the bottom of the rabbit hole, she follows a shadowy figure in a familiar blue dress who taunts her and coaxes her deeper into Wonderland. Unable to release herself from her meditation, Elizabeth chases Alice through Wonderland, guided by clues left by Alice, as well as the dark and strangely familiar characters she meets, like the Cheshire Cat, the Tweedle twins, and the Mad Hatter. In Wonderland, Elizabeth comes face to face with her inner light and darkness, and, finally, Alice-and discovers that Alice's secret might be what she has been searching for all along.

Download or read book Neurodharma written by Rick Hanson and published by Harmony. This book was released on 2020 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reverse-engineer your brain to experience freedom from suffering with this radically bold yet practical seven-step plan from the New York Times bestselling author of Buddha's Brain and Hardwiring Happiness. Building on his classic bestseller Buddha's Brain, New York Times bestselling author and senior fellow of the Greater Good Science Center at UC Berkeley Rick Hanson uses the Buddhist analysis of the mind as a roadmap for strengthening the neural circuitry of deep calm, contentment, kindness, and wisdom--qualities we all need to succeed in the face of adversity. Most books about transformations of consciousness are theoretical or religious, typically full of jargon, pep talks, and calls to believe on faith alone. Instead, this is a book of practice, immediately actionable with simple, powerful guided meditations--and despite this grounded approach, its promise is radically life-changing. This book is nothing short of a path to transcendence, a method for liberating the mind and heart, discovering freedom from suffering, and engaging life with a kind heart and inner peace. A step-by-step path of practical ideas and tools, Dr. Hanson guides readers with his usual encouragement, good humor, and personal examples.
