Download or read book McMindfulness written by Ronald Purser and published by Watkins Media Limited. This book was released on 2019-07-09 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A lively and razor-sharp critique of mindfulness as it has been enthusiastically co-opted by corporations, public schools, and the US military. Mindfulness is now all the rage. From celebrity endorsements to monks, neuroscientists and meditation coaches rubbing shoulders with CEOs at the World Economic Forum in Davos, it is clear that mindfulness has gone mainstream. Some have even called it a revolution. But what if, instead of changing the world, mindfulness has become a banal form of capitalist spirituality that mindlessly avoids social and political transformation, reinforcing the neoliberal status quo? In McMindfulness, Ronald Purser debunks the so-called "mindfulness revolution," exposing how corporations, schools, governments and the military have co-opted it as technique for social control and self-pacification. A lively and razor-sharp critique, Purser busts the myths its salesmen rely on, challenging the narrative that stress is self-imposed and mindfulness is the cure-all. If we are to harness the truly revolutionary potential of mindfulness, we have to cast off its neoliberal shackles, liberating mindfulness for a collective awakening.

Wherever you go, your wondrous mind will go with you.” Mindfulness is everywhere—now widely considered an essential part of a healthy lifestyle, much like exercise, diet, and good sleep. Yet many of us who practice mindfulness wonder: Now what? If you’ve sensed the potential for something much deeper and more impactful than temporary stress reduction and calm in the stillness of the present moment, expert teacher Andrew Holecek offers an exciting, inviting guide for what is possible in the vast, transformative world of meditation beyond mindfulness. With I’m Mindful, Now What?, Holecek reveals how the form of mindfulness many of us know is merely one thread in a time-honored and much richer tapestry of contemplative practice. Here he presents an encompassing survey of the many dimensions of meditation—including paths for opening your heart, nurturing compassion, connecting with your body, expanding your dreaming life, and investigating the fundamental nature of reality. In accessible language geared for both first-timers and the experienced, Holecek shares insights and tools to help you develop your practice, stretch your limits while navigating the pitfalls, use “meditation snacks” to open new directions, and more.

Download or read book Yoga Revolution written by Jivana Heyman and published by Shambhala Publications. This book was released on 2021-12-07 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is time to address the dissonance between the often superficial way yoga is currently being practiced and the depth of yoga’s ancient universal spiritual teachings. In this clarion call to action, Jivana Heyman offers a blueprint for cultivating a practice based in the ancient wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita and the Yoga Sutras in service of those experiencing exclusion and oppression. Heyman illuminates the yogic mandate of seva—or acts of service that see, care for, and uplift those around us—as a way to serve the world without losing your way. Through pose sequences, practice prompts such as “Embracing Failure,” and stories from yoga teachers who are implementing seva in their classes, Heyman shows you what it means to serve, how to serve, and how to promote inclusivity through your service. Our job, says Heyman, is not to clear our mind through yoga practice, but rather to expand it so widely that it can embrace the entire universe.
