An inspiring and practical guide to meditation

A simple and straightforward introduction to Buddhist meditation practice from one of the country’s leading authorities on stress-reduction techniques, Wherever You Go, There You Are has as its goal a personal transformation of the listener.

Dr. Kabat-Zinn has taught this two-thousand-year-old Buddhist method of relaxation to thousands of patients in his Stress Reduction Program at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center. Through mindfulness, one makes every moment count. By “capturing” the present and living fully within each moment as it happens, one can reduce anxiety, achieve inner peace, and enrich the quality of life.

With warmth and humor, Wherever You Go, There You Are blends stories, anecdotes, poems, images, and scientific observations with easily followed instructions. The result is a unique audio program that is part inspiration and part study guide to a revolutionary new way of being, seeing, and living.

Release planned for Wednesday, May 26, 2004 at Controlled Release in Irving, Texas USA.

Traded to novasoy. Enjoy!

The wonderful MoonDancer11 sent this to me out of the goodness of his/her heart. I will start working with this book immediately. By the way, it is a gorgeous book. Top quality paper, typesetting, binding, etc. Lovely.

After I read it, I need to send it to JDT (http://JDT.bookcrossing.com)

Released on Monday, August 23, 2004 at Bookcrosser in Pleasanton, California Controlled Releases.

Good stuff! This book has really helped my practice by retuning me to focus on what's important -- the present moment.

I'm passing it along to enlighten others.

Ohmygosh - this is the most wonderful timing! Bearing in mind I had honestly forgotten about requesting this book:

1. 2 days ago, I spent the day at Spirit Rock (my first time there) - a nearby Budhist Center, with authors Sylvia Boorstein & Rachel Remen, MD (Kitchen Table Wisdom - one of my favorites). Jon Kabat-Zinn will be giving a workshop there soon.
2. Yesterday I finally decided to offer my beautiful HB Everyday Blessings- by this same author and his wife - on the relay and it was accepted by a BC friend who comes to the same local meet-up. Though missing it already, I was so happy it would have a good home.
3. I have loved this title (and the truth of it) for many years - but had never seen or read the book.

Thank you, thank you novasoy (and MoonDancer11) for this wonderful book!

Selected at monthly meeting 6/2017.

My introduction to mindfulness and Buddhist meditation. Not sure but I think it has made a difference for me.

Donated to the Walnut Grove Library bookstore.
