Mindfulness for Beginners: Reclaiming the Present Moment and Your Life Review: Great Introduction, especially for folks on the go - This set of CDs is a great introduction to mindfulness narrated by Jon-Kabat-Zinn who pioneered the use of it within a structured program for use in health services. The multidisciplinary approach used by the program which combines mindfulness and yoga has been replicated in many places. Kabat-Zinn's low key explanations are helpful and often soar with inspiration. In the introduction to his paper book with the same title he describes the first CD as having grown out of a series of lectures that he had given that in his words, "...described the practice of mindfulness and explained why it might be valuable to engage in its cultivation to begin with." There are ten tracks totaling about an hour of recording. Please note that it is not a recorded version of the paper book with the same title. It is an excellent alternative for folks who might not have the time or inclination to sit down and read but who might have the time to listen while doing something like driving. The second CD has 5 guided meditations, each ranging from 10 to 18 minutes long. His gentle, knowledgeable directions are terrific signposts leading into a daily practice. I think it would be helpful to beginners as well as to seasoned practitioners. The paper book of the same title is a very helpful companion guide. It is written in very short chapters, most are two to three pages, that could be read before or after a meditation as a short reflection. The 166 page book can lead one much deeper into the practice and can serve as a steadying hand as the entrant navigates their way into finding a space for mindfulness in often demanding schedules. I'd recommend it to anyone interested in mindfulness. Review: A small full of wisdom and practical insights into awareness. - One of the best books you can read to truly understand mindfulness and being present. Most of the more than 100 chapters are 1 or 2 pages long filled with insights and wisdom into the nature of mindful presence. John points out many of the practical struggles of being aware. Although supposedly written for beginners this book is a valuable guide for anyone desiring to get free from the mind and transform your experience of life. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | 1622036670 | | Best Sellers Rank | #31,677 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #114 in Meditation (Books) #2,466 in Self-Help (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (2,975) | | Dimensions | 6 x 0.5 x 8 inches | | Edition | Reprint | | ISBN-10 | 9781622036677 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1622036677 | | Item Weight | 2.31 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 184 pages | | Publication date | July 1, 2016 | | Publisher | St. Martin's Essentials / Sounds True | ## Images ![Mindfulness for Beginners: Reclaiming the Present Moment and Your Life - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91llbzDLwGL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Introduction, especially for folks on the go *by D***G on September 27, 2017* This set of CDs is a great introduction to mindfulness narrated by Jon-Kabat-Zinn who pioneered the use of it within a structured program for use in health services.
