Publisher's Synopsis
It's a busy world. You fold the laundry while keeping one eye on the kids and another on the television. You plan your day while listening to the radio and commuting to work and then plan your weekend. But in the rush to accomplish necessary tasks, you may find yourself losing your connection with the present moment--missing out on what you're doing and how you're feeling. Did you notice whether you felt well-rested this morning or that forsythia is in bloom along your route to work?
Mindfulness is the practice of purposely focusing your attention on the present moment--and accepting it without judgment. Mindfulness is now being examined scientifically and has been found to be a key element in stress reduction and overall happiness.
In this book, you can unlock the secrets that turn the author into a form of "standing Zen". Discover how you can bring the mindfulness of him into your life.
From the book:
"This is not a how-to book on Tai Chi or on Zen. How-to books explore these arts from the 'outside in' - starting with the outer forms, and if the book is any good, to the inner practice.
Instead, the author wants to work from the "inside out" - to explore how these arts affect us on the inside. He wants to focus on the motivation and understanding in these arts that lead us on the path to mindfulness.
