Contents:
Meditation : it's not what you think -- The power of attention and the dis-ease of the world -- The sensory world : your one wild and precious life -- Embracing formal practice : tasting mindfulness -- Healing possibilities : the realm of mind and body -- Arriving at your own door -- Healing the body politic -- Let the beauty we love be what we do.
Summary: As stress continues to exact a toll on everyday life, people are increasingly turning to meditative methods, tested by science, to relieve its ill effects and become more focused, healthy, and proactive. Kabat-Zinn is a leader of the mind/body revolution in medicine and health care, demystifying it and bringing it into the mainstream. This book offers insight into how to use the five senses -- touch, hearing, sight, taste, and smell, plus awareness itself -- as a path to a healthier, saner, and more meaningful life.
