The Healing Power of Mindfulness

A New Way of Being

By: Jon Kabat-Zinn PhD PhD

Narrated by: Jon Kabat-Zinn PhD PhD

Discover how mindfulness can help you with healing.

More than twenty years ago, Jon Kabat-Zinn showed us the value of cultivating greater awareness in everyday life with his now-classic introduction to mindfulness, Wherever You Go, There You Are. Now, in TheHealing Power of Mindfulness, he shares a cornucopia of specificexamples as to how the cultivation of mindfulness can reshape your relationship with your own body and mind--explaining what we're learning about neuroplasticity and the brain, how meditation can affect our biology and our health, and what mindfulness can teach us about coming to terms with all sorts of life challenges, including our own mortality, so we can make the most of the moments that we have.

Originally published in 2005 as part of a larger book titled Coming to Our Senses, The Healing Power of Mindfulness features a new foreword by the author and timely updates throughout the text. If you are interested in learning more about how mindfulness as a way of being can help us to heal, physically and emotionally, look no further than this deeply personal and also "deeply optimistic book, grounded in good science and filled with practical recommendations for moving in the right direction" (Andrew Weil, MD), from one of the pioneers of the worldwide mindfulness movement.

Mind and Body

recognizing the physical changes in our body and sense ourselves becoming distracted can reorient us back to wholeness. The ego continues to create structures to identify yourself and the world. Recognizing impermanence and death allow us to be free and embrace our lives.

it's always a pleasant reminder and so easy to forget.

Another Jon Kabat-Zinn Classic!

As always, a meditative practice in itself, The Healing Power of Mindfulness has been a great companion for winding down in the evenings. His calming voice and conversational pace makes the content of this book both accessible and enjoyable for all. 5 Stars!

Must listen!

The science is worth getting through and the last chapters are awesome encouragement. Jon speaks from the heart, speaks really well, and knows his subject incredibly well. I'm waiting for the last book of this series and then will be listening again and again for a long time. What a gift!
