Staying Mindful: How to Deepen Your Experience of Mindfulness and Appreciate Your Life

Sustaining a mindfulness meditation practice is challenging. Many people complete an eight-week introductory mindfulness course with the best of intentions, only to quickly let things slip as competing pressures take over and the time to stop and think dries up. Tackling this issue, Staying Mindful refreshes and deepens the learning gained in typical introductory courses, and provides a wealth of guidance to encourage and inspire ongoing practice. Based on a six-week course developed and run for many years by the author, Staying Mindful is the perfect ‘next step’ guide for anyone looking to further develop their mindfulness skills. It introduces new topics such as working with difficulty and gratitude, and more advanced mindfulness practices (such as for managing anxiety). The book as a whole can be used as a self-study course, working through the chapters and practices sequentially, or as a ready resource to dip into as required. Read more
