as a proven way to help students: learn more effectively; develop
personally; enhance their physical and emotional health; and, deal
with study and exam-related demands. Written by two leading experts
with many years of personal and clinical experience, 'Mindful
Learning' provides practical insights and exercises on how to apply
mindfulness in any educational setting. The result is a book that
clearly sets out how you can: manage stress; improve performance;
create better communication; develop more meaningful relationships;
unlock creativity; improve mental flexibility and problem-solving
ability; and, use technology wisely. Whatever your age, whatever
your learning environment, mindfulness can make a positive
difference, and 'Mindful Learning' shows you how.
Mindfulness is a form of mental training that centres on being
fully present in life; focussing on what is rather than being
distracted by what isn't. Mindfulness for Life is written by two
experts in the field who bring the medical perspective of an
international authority on mindfulness and the psychological
perspective of a researcher. The result is a book that translates
the scientific principles behind mindfulness into a simple,
practical and accessible manual to applying mindfulness in your own
life. This revised and updated second edition includes: New
research on the science of mindfulness and its clinical
applications An in-depth look at how mindfulness links to mental
health, ageing, addiction, pain, emotional intelligence, and a
variety of other topics Details on the benefits of mindful living,
including reduced anxiety and depression, improved sleep, coping
better with major illnesses, making healthy lifestyle changes,
improved leadership skills, achieving a sense of peace, and more A
completely revised section on forming and maintaining mindful
relationships with your friends and family. Mindfulness has been
around for millennia, but recent years have seen huge advancements
in its potential for directly increasing our wellbeing. Take a leap
towards mindful living and you might just discover that you become
a calmer, happier and healthier being - for life.
A house is merely physical but a home is far more subtle and
elusive. The Mindful Home takes the view that being 'at home' is a
metaphor for finding ourselves and our core. Home is about
qualities that we could equate with 'good' itself - true happiness,
peace, beauty, wisdom and inspiration. It is also about the good
things in life such as harmony, relationships, health and wealth.
Mindfulness can help us find our core and create a home that
reminds us of the qualities associated with it. By exploring the
ways in which we feed our mind and our heart through our senses,
how we use space, the practicalities of managing a home, and how we
can live a healthy and sustainable life at home, The Mindful Home
will enable us to shape the living space we really want, creating
an environment that both nurtures and invigorates us, while meeting
our needs. The two megatrends of Mindfulness and Home Improvement
are combined in a beautiful, useful book, which has attracted
enormous interest around the world as the only book of its kind.
Sections include Philosophy of The Mindful Home, The Five Senses
The Five Spaces, and Home as a Healthier Environment. Beautifully
designed, this is the ultimate guide to the art of conscious
living. Learn to create a nurturing home and mindfully care for
yourself and your family.
Many of us in the modern world are unhappier than they need to be,
and mindfulness offers a solution that works. Science and clinical
practice have only recently 'discovered' the profound potential of
mindfulness-based practices for increasing our wellbeing. However,
mindfulness has been practised for thousands of years as an
attention-training technique that can reduce physical and
psychological suffering and enhance health and happiness. Derived
from ancient contemplative practices in many cultures and wisdom
traditions, mindfulness practice simply involves directing our
attention to what is (reality), rather than to what isn't (our
ideas of reality). Mindfulness for Life is written by two experts
on mindfulness with many years of personal and clinical experience.
The authors have come together to provide both a medical and a
psychological perspective on mindfulness and related conditions
such as depression and substance abuse. The result is a book that
translates the scientific principles underlying mindfulness into a
simple, practical and accessible life manual.
Illuminating Wisdom brings art and wisdom together in a beautiful
celebration of some of the world's most inspiring philosophical,
spiritual and literary quotes. Approximately 80 quotes have been
drawn from some of the great wisdom and literary traditions of both
East and West, as well as from inspiring people throughout history
noted for their practical wisdom. The quotes are presented in
exquisite calligraphy by Deirdre Hassed, a leading professional
calligrapher. She makes use of a range of styles - from the
traditional to the contemporary - and varied techniques such as
gilding, collage, glasswork, letterpress and lino printing.
Accompanying each artwork is text by Craig Hassed, an international
expert in mindfulness, that provides background on the quote's
author, explores the wisdom tradition to which it belongs, and
offers deep insight into the meaning of the quote. The result is
both a work of art and a collection of tradition; a book that will
educate and inspire. Illuminating Wisdom is the perfect book to
take in all at once, or turn to occasionally for reassuring words
of wisdom. Learn about cultures far and wide through the words that
have shaped them, brought to life by gorgeous calligraphy in this
relaxing, illuminating read.
