Pebbles And Pearls

Book Summary

Across America, people in search of inner peace and better health know Jon Kabat-Zinn as the clinical researcher and teacher who dared to bring mindfulness practice out of the meditation hall and into the most respected pain management center in the country. On Pebbles and Pearls, Kabat-Zinn turns his attention to another challenge - how ordinary people can use meditation in the arenas of the workplace and the family. Join Jon Kabat-Zinn as he shares a host of insights and methods that you can apply to real-life situations: how to use work as a contemplative practice; advice on mindful parenting; grounding yourself in your body; how to work with overwhelming emotions; and much more. "In the yogic tradition," teaches Kabat-Zinn, "the world is described as a spinning grindstone. You can be completely chewed up by it - or you can position yourself so that you hone yourself, like a blade." On Pebbles and Pearls, you will learn how to take the wiser path, at the side of this pioneering expert on meditation and mind/body healing.
