Mindfulness and Personal Development



Mindfulness is not about reaching a different destination; it's about fully inhabiting your current state and recognizing the power of your complete presence and awareness at this moment. This book is about the potential everyone has to develop an extraordinarily capable mind that is profoundly peaceful, happy, and compassionate. It emphasizes the importance of deeper emotional awareness—the ability to detect an emotion as it arises, observe it as it subsides, and notice all the subtle changes in between.

Those in the meditation group developed more antibodies to the influenza vaccine than the ones who didn't. Another study revealed, that mindfulness can greatly accelerate the healing of a skin condition known as psoriasis.
