Das Abenteuer Achtsamkeit

Discover the power of mindfulness in everyday life. Mindfulness is much more than just a practice: it is an adventure, an invitation to live each moment of our existence consciously. With a great sense of humor and a spirit of exploration, Jon Kabat-Zinn introduces various aspects of mindfulness and shows us ways to cultivate it effortlessly in our daily lives. We learn to root ourselves in our lives with all our senses, to approach professional or personal stress situations in new ways, and to remain in inner balance even in the face of difficult experiences. We identify the thought patterns that lead to suffering and cultivate emotional stability, so that every moment of our existence can be a turning point – a promising gateway to a new way of life.

This book includes a step-by-step guide to fundamental mindfulness exercises. It is based on Jon Kabat-Zinn's most comprehensive audio program on mindfulness. Eleven guided meditations and yoga exercises will guide you through the program.
