I'm Mindful, Now What? | Free Book
Meditation can be so much more than 20 minutes of tranquility a
day. “With some initial practice,” shares Andrew Holecek, “you’ll
bring a mind that is more present, open, sensitive, kind, and
aware into every facet of life. Wherever you go, your wondrous
mind will go with you.”
Mindfulness is everywhere—now widely considered an
essential part of a healthy lifestyle, much like exercise, diet, and
good sleep. Yet many of us who practice mindfulness wonder: Now
what? If you’ve sensed the potential for something much deeper and
more impactful than temporary stress reduction and calm in the
stillness of the present moment, expert teacher Andrew Holecek
offers an exciting, inviting guide for what is possible in the vast,
transformative world of meditation beyond mindfulness.
With I’m Mindful, Now What?, Holecek reveals how the form
of mindfulness many of us know is merely one thread in a
time-honored and much richer tapestry of contemplative practice.
Here he presents an encompassing survey of the many
dimensions of meditation—including paths for opening your heart,
nurturing compassion, connecting with your body, expanding your
dreaming life, and investigating the fundamental nature of
reality.
In accessible language geared for both
first-timers and the experienced, Holecek shares insights and tools
to help you develop your practice, stretch your limits while
navigating the pitfalls, use “meditation snacks” to open new
directions, and more.
