"Peace ar last!"
I didn't know life could get better! My soul yearned for confirmation that 'less is more.' I'm simply amazed, no 'rocketed to the 5th dimension' with this stuff. To live a life conscious of the moment, purposefully , slowly and serenely is all I've ever wanted and this book teaches me how in the simplest of terms. Like, right here, right now stuff, like 'begin where you are stuff, NOW. No thinking necessary 'just be the person/thing that you seek, right now. Thank you Jon and every other teacher of this way of being, thank you.
"Excellent clear introduction to Mindfulness"
I am a clinical psychologist working with people experiencing a range of psychological problems, and recommend this to everyone I work with when using mindfulness (which is most people!). It is very easy to listen to, explaining the history and practice of mindfulness in every day life. The first half is a talk about mindfulness, the second half is a series of simple mindfulness exercises. Well worth the money!
"Mind altering, world changing"
I've listened over and over and over to this wonderful audiobook.
Jon's soulful voice soothes and heals while you sit - or lie - and you can do the meditations sitting or lying down.
I'm not saying this is the panacea for all known human woes.
But it offers the chance to see the world through a different lens.
A lens that needs constant cleaning.
Excellent.
