The Mindfulness Habit - Lisa Wren

Build your calm, work with purpose, live your life. A step-by-step mindfulness coaching programme so you can make mindfulness part of your everyday routine and better manage stress, anxiety and insecurity. The Mindfulness Habit provides an 8-week, peer reviewed mindfulness course alternating with chapters that tackle practical workplace challenges in a relatable and compassionate way. Topics include working with uncertainty and insecurity; stress and burnout; anxiety; switching off from work, and how to deal with difficult communications. You will also discover how mindfulness can support diversity, equity, and inclusion in the workplace. "I can’t ‘do’ mindfulness. My mind is too busy, I can’t sit still, I just don’t have the TIME!" The reasons you think you can’t, are the same reasons why you should give mindfulness a go. Lisa Wren specialises in teaching people who are seriously busy, overwhelmed, stressed out, or in full-on meltdown because life is rushing past at a ridiculous pace. People who like to learn and progress, who value career and life, but who can’t seem to ever catch-up, or get on top of things....or who yearn for just 5 minutes of peace (is that too much to ask?!). Mindfulness can help because your mind is busy, because your body is agitated, and because you don’t have time. In fact, you don’t need to find much time at all – no longer than the time it has taken you to read this paragraph. The insights and information shared in The Mindfulness Habit can make a meaningful difference to how you feel. Lisa provides valuable knowledge, and ethically sound perspectives and practices that can help you to navigate the often-difficult relationship between mental health and the demands placed upon us at work and in life. So much of what is suffered is unspoken, and you might assume that feeling persistently stressed, anxious, overwhelmed, or exhausted is just something you must put up with. This book shows how you can have a productive and successful working life whilst also feeling calmer, healthier, and more in control. The Mindfulness Habit blends established mindfulness curricula with other approaches in positive psychology and introduces ‘active awareness’ – mindfulness without meditation which can bring mindfulness directly into your everyday life. This unique synthesised approach provides the option of different routes into mindfulness: there is a path to mindfulness waiting for you in this book.

Mindfulness for Borderline Personality Disorder - Blaise Aguirre

If you have borderline personality disorder (BPD), you know that the intensity of your emotions can be suffocating, and can lead to self destructive behavior and relationship difficulties. Fluctuating emotions, black and white thinking, and a tendency to self-harm can make BPD especially difficult to treat. As an answer to the lack of effective treatment available, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) was founded by Marsha Lineham-who suffered from BPD herself-to treat BPD with a combination of behavioral science and concepts of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT).Since its creation, DBT has proven extremely successful in the treatment of BPD. Mindfulness for Borderline Personality Disorder offers a new, mindfulness-based approach to emotion regulation and the common symptoms associated with BPD. If you are suffering from BPD, the practice of mindfulness can offer comfort, calm, and hope. This book will look at the ways in which mindfulness can be used to address the specific symptoms of BPD, teaching the basics of mindfulness, providing specific mindfulness exercises, application to the symptoms of BPD, and examples from patients as they have begun the path out of suffering using mindfulness.If you are ready to change your life and minimize your symptoms, this book is a powerful, evidence-based tool that can help.

Mindfulness a její kořeny - Stephen Fulder

Mindfulness, neboli vědomá pozornost, je velmi známá a stále oblíbenější dovednost. Ve skutečnosti ale představuje jen jednu část neuvěřitelně bohatého a naplňujícího buddhistického přístupu k životu. Tato kniha zkoumá, jak být spokojený v práci, jak moudře stárnout, rozpustit obtížné emoce či jak být skutečně autentický, a odhaluje cestu k životu ve svobodě. Zároveň přesně ukazuje, jak buddhistické koncepty a praxe - soucit, radost, uvolněnost, bdělost a probuzení, mohou přinést do vašeho života radikální změnu. "Ve smyslu, v jakém já používám slovo mindfulness, už za jeho hranicemi nic není, protože jde o souhrnný název pro hluboce vžitou moudrost a miliony jejích projevů v našem životě. V této hluboce výchovné a poučné knize otevírá Stephen Fulder vesmír, z něhož se zrodilo to nejpřesnější vyjádření pojmu mindfulness, a návod, jak mu porozumět a rozvíjet ho ke prospěchu všech, jednak z tradičnějšího buddhistického, jednak z všeobecnějšího a inkluzivnějšího hlediska. Stephenova životní dráha a rozhodnutí jsou ztělesněním jeho hluboké lásky k tomu, co je nejsvětější a co lze nejsnáze přehlédnout." Jon Kabat-Zinn, emeritní profesor, tvůrce MBSR (Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction/Redukce stresu pomocí mindfulness), autor knih Full Catastrophe Living (česky Život samá pohroma, Jan Melvil Publishing, 2016) a Falling Awake (Probouzení se) "Všichni si přejeme mít šanci odložit zátěž, kterou si s sebou životem neseme. Neseme si s sebou své vnitřní zátěže jako úzkost, nedostatek radosti, neklid nebo mysl se sklony k odsuzování. A máme i vnější zátěže, jako například když se nám nedostává toho, co bychom si přáli, když máme problémy ve vztahu nebo když nás zdánlivě zrazuje naše tělo. Ve skutečnosti však přetěžujeme svou mysl. Život se totiž neustále proměňuje, nemáme ho pod kontrolou, je však jenom na nás, jak se ke změnám stavíme. Většinou nám přijde, že jde o nekonečný zápas. Všechna ta zátěž jako by nás nikdy neopouštěla, jako by se stala naší součástí. Je to tím, že ji nedokážeme odložit prostřednictvím touhy po lehkosti a svobodě, nedokážeme o ní přemýšlet ani si představit, že jsme ji odložili, natož pak se jí vyhnout. Stres je natolik nedílnou součástí našeho života, že když se ho snažíme spláchnout, zjistíme jen, že se v jednom kuse myjeme ve špinavé vodě. Potřebujeme něco jiného. Jak kdysi řekl Einstein: "Problémy nemůžete řešit touž myslí, která je stvořila.

Breathing Mindfulness - Sarah Shaw

Explore the life-changing practice of anapanasati, or breathing mindfulness—one of the most popular and foundational Buddhist meditation practices.Breathing mindfulness meditation is a cornerstone of Buddhist practice, believed to be key to the Buddha''s own enlightenment. This powerful technique fosters a harmonious blend of awareness and tranquility, guiding practitioners towards profound meditative states and deeper wisdom. Sarah Shaw guides readers through the history and contemporary interpretations of breathing mindfulness in the Pali or Southern tradition of Buddhism. In this in-depth study, she examines:The Anapanasati Sutta, the foundational Buddhist text on breathing mindfulness; The systematization of the practice through the commentarial texts like Vimuttimagga (The Path to Freedom) and Visuddhimagga (The Path of Purification); Intriguing, lesser-known systems of esoteric Theravada breath meditation nearly lost to history; The integration of breath meditation into modern spiritual practices; The importance of breath meditation to the insight meditation (vipassana) movement; And the influence of breathing mindfulness across diverse spiritual paths. Shaw''s exploration reveals the enduring legacy of this practice, from its ancient origins to its contemporary resurgence.

What these poems have in common, no matter whether they are explicitly Buddhist, is that all reflect the essential truths the Buddha articulated 2,500 years ago. The book provides an important poetic complement to the many prose books on mindfulness practice—the poems here both reflect and embody the dharma in ways that can’t be matched by other modes of writing. Its unique features include an introduction that discusses the themes of impermanence, mindfulness, and joy and explores the relationship between them. Biographical notes place the poets in historical context and offer quotes and anecdotes to help readers learn about the poets’ lives.

Mindfulness: Co vám ještě neřekli (978-80-765-0709-8)

Elektronická kniha - autor František Lomský, 176 stran, česky Mindfulness je přirozená schopnost uvědomovat si celou paletu prožitků, které vnímáme v přítomném okamžiku – tělesné a smyslové vjemy, myšlenky, emoce, pocity a postoje. Její prohloubení umožňuje proniknout mnohem blíž k jádru toho, jak na mentální rovině prožíváme realitu. Důsledkem je výrazná úleva od stresu, obav a úzkosti a zvýšený pocit radosti a životního optimismu. Přestože je mindfulness v posledních letech velmi populární, téměř se nemluví o mnoha jejích aspektech a dalších souvislostech, které jsou důležité pro její úspěšný rozvoj. Záměrem knihy je tuto mezeru zacelit. Proto se věnuje opomíjeným tématům, jako je vliv mindfulness na duševní zdraví, nebezpečná úskalí, zvládání častých překážek v průběhu výcviku, souvislost s osobní integritou a etikou, nevyjasněná role ve firemních programech, využití v mentálním koučinku či vztah ke spirituálním tradicím. Obsahuje konkrétní příklady ze...

Drobné kroky, které neustále opakujeme a k nimž přidáváme další, nás postupně provedou změnami, jež povedou ke zlepšení našeho života. Trápí nás „mravenci v hlavě“ neboli nutkavé myšlenky?

Knihu uvítají lidé, kteří trpí vnitřním neklidem, a samozřejmě též zájemci o mindfulness. Gary Hennessey se mindfulness věnuje více než 40 let a vyučuje je 35 let

Your Happy Child: A Parent's Guide to Mindfulness - Sarah Rudell Beach

EASY and FUN activities to do with your child (aged 3–11) to encourage MINDFULNESS. Mindfulness helps children FOCUS, become more RESILIENT, CALM their emotions, and experience greater JOY. Helping children to be more mindful is a powerful gift: they will learn valuable lifelong skills, such as how to recognize and manage their emotions, how to calm down when they are upset, how to concentrate on important tasks, and how to interact with others with empathy and generosity. These fundamental skills often aren’t taught explicitly—frequently we demand that children “pay attention” or “calm down,” without showing them how to do so. Now parents can, with help from mindfulness expert Sarah Rudell Beach. Easy-to-follow activities and games cover several mindful actions—Soothe, Focus, Feel, Pause, Appreciate, and Connect—with helpful variations for different age groups and “emergency how-tos” for particularly stressful moments. Advice for parents on how to become more mindful themselves is also included, so that they can more efficiently teach and demonstrate these techniques.

Letter from New York - Helene Hanff

Manderley Press is delighted to announce the publication of a brand-new edition of Helene Hanff''s Letter from New York - another literary jewel from the author of 84, Charing Cross Road. To showcase this wonderful book, we commissioned the New York Times bestselling author Jean Hanff Korelitz (The Plot) to pen a new introduction - she is a cousin of Helene Hanff''s, and was inspired to become a writer after meeting her as a teenager. The front cover was specially designed by New Yorker illustrator Bruce Eric Kaplan, also a fan of the author and a resident of New York City too. Over several years, Helene Hanff read aloud these stories of her life in New York for BBC Radio 4''s Woman''s Hour. This book is a collection of selected scripts from this series, composed with a British audience in mind, in which the author offers us a glimpse into her own everyday tales of the city. Written in her trademark whimsical and upbeat style, Helene Hanff transports us right to the heart of Manhattan in the 1980s, describing her favourite places, people and pets with gentle humour, and introducing the reader to the ups and downs of life in a high-rise apartment building in New York City ("the last small town in America"). We are introduced to Bentley, the Old English Sheepdog belonging to a neighbour who captured the author''s heart; we take a stroll through the beautiful Shakespeare''s Garden in Central Park; and we join the author to enjoy annual city parades down Fifth Avenue - especially the St Patrick''s Day parade, when the whole of New York turned green. And we meet Helene''s friends: Arlene, whose glamorous social life - and wardrobe - puts Hanff''s tiny apartment and simple writer''s life into perspective, and Nina, whose garden on the sixteenth-floor overflows with flowers and fruit trees. Finally, we accompany the author as she travels to London to celebrate the opening night of the dramatisation of her best-selling book 84, Charing Cross Road. What started out as a six-month trial in 1978 eventually turned into a six-year project, during which time Helene Hanff captivated radio audiences with her monthly broadcasts - each one a love letter to her beloved NYC. Long before the cast of Friends - and Sarah Jessica Parker''s iconic evocation of life in the city - recreated a New York existence for us to experience vicariously, these 5-minute vignettes were the perfect way for native New Yorkers and international readers alike, to revel in the quotidian as well as the glamour of city life, and to discover the unexpected hidden gems - and treasured traditions - of New York City. Letter from New York is still a delight to read, 40 years after it was first written - a timeless and beguiling tale of everyday life in this great city, by one of the best-loved authors of the 20th-century.

A na krátky okamih, obklopená cezmínou, ktorá mi prepichuje nohavice, zabudnem, kde som. Zabudnem na dom, ktorý zatiaľ nepovažujem za domov, a na hektickú prácu. Vtedy príde tá myšlienka. Tu by mohli byť včely, napadne mi a moja myseľ sa vzápätí rozbehne ako stádo divokých koní. Prekvapene odstúpim. Helen Jukes sa na prahu tridsiatky cíti uväznená v mestskom kolotoči kancelárskych intríg a dočasných adries. Snaží sa vybudovať zázemie v podobe novej práce v Oxforde, ale uvedomí si, že ak túži viesť zmysluplný život naplnený láskou a prácou, musí sa zmeniť. Práve vtedy jej priatelia venujú včelstvo (podľa starých legiend darované včely prinášajú šťastie) a z Helen sa postupne stáva včelárka. Čo však znamená starať sa o týchto divokých tvorčekov a prežiť s nimi jeden celý rok? Ako môžu nové poznatky o včelách prispieť k objavovaniu seba samej? A prinesie jej cesta do útrob úľa uvoľnenie? Táto kniha je rovnako prekvapujúca, krásna a neobyčajná ako život včiel v úli. - Helen MacDonald, autorka knihy J jako jestřáb Zatiaľ čo Helen hľadá svoje miesto v úžasnom ekosystéme úľa, samotný chov jej prináša nový pohľad na život. Prehlbuje jej staré i nové vzťahy a do sveta okolo nej vnáša svetlo. Helenino rozprávanie je fascinujúcou výpravou po stopách včiel, premenách ich príbytku i exkurzom do histórie nášho skúmania včelstva. Kniha predstavuje úchvatné zamyslenie nad zodpovednosťou a starostlivosťou, zraniteľnosťou a dôverou, vytváraním nových pút a nad vstupom na doteraz nepreskúmané územia.

The Year That Changed Us - Helen Rolfe
