Techniques to deal with stress and foster a calmer outlook on life are offered through this series of meditations that encourage mindfulness, a concept that involves living in the moment, paying attention, and simply being rather than constantly doing, in daily life. Meditations that vary in their focuson a simple phrase, the rhythm of breath, a part of the bodyhave been used for stress management and in hospitals where patients meditate to improve their health or feel better despite their illness.Este es un excelente manual practico, no solo para la meditacion de la atencion plena y la curacion, sino para lograr la meta de integrar la practica espiritual en la vida cotidiana. Una admirable seccion intermedia reune clara evidencia cientifica y anecdotica relativa al estado mental y al estado fisico. Y, al la vez que subraya el potencial curativo de la meditacion, sugiere que la disciplina sirva, no como un medio sino como un fin.
