"The Mindfulness Solution"

So you want to be more mindful?  How?

Mindfulness has been listed as one of the top trends predicted for 2014.  The restless and relentless pace of high-tech life and a craving for Spirit-based peace are driving this.  One of the must-reads on the path to Christian mindfulness is a book by Ronald D. Siegel, an assistant clinical professor of psychology at Harvard. 

"The Mindfulness Solution:  Everyday Practices for Everyday Problems"  starts out with a chapter titled "Life Is Difficult" and ends with a mindful approach to facing aging and death.  You can't be much more comprehensive than that.  It's really helpful with lots of ideas for formal and informal practices specific to building a mindful life, dealing with specific concerns (worry, depression, pain, etc.) and resources. You can see many of these practices at www.mindfulness-solution.com

It's not a Christian approach, but many of the techniques are so helpful that they can be adapted to inviting God into the mindfulness easily.  His work is also linked to positive psychology as you can see here.   This is the year to let go and let God by being mindful.  This book helped me.
