Synopsis:
An inspiring, practical guide to living with and managing chronic pain and illness using mindfulness, and taking life one moment at a time. The effectiveness of the ancient practice of mindfulness meditation has gained worldwide recognition in recent years, particularly in relation to health and stress.Vidyamala Burch develops the work of Dr.Jon Kabat-Zinn and others, while drawing on her own long personal experience of both pain and meditation. She shows how dignity, wisdom and kindness can be found through learning the mindful way to live with health difficulties of any kind.
Vidyamala's programme has helped thousands of sufferers to live more fulfilling lives. She shows that by developing a calm, mindful awareness of your body in each and every moment, it is possible to let go of frustration and distress. By dealing with secondary and emotional effects of chronic pain and illness, you can live more positively.
Includes easy-to-follow breathing techniques, powerful mindfulness meditations, helpful illustrations and motivating case histories of people who have benefitted from this remarkable technique.
Vidyamala Burch has suffered chronic back pain for over 30 years due to congenital weakness, a car accident, and multiple surgeries. She is now a wheelchair user. She is the co-founder of the repected Breathworks organisation, which helps people experiencing chronic pain, illness and stress to manage their condition through meditation, body awareness and creative approaches to living.
"I admire Vidyamala Burch tremendously. Her approach could save your life - and give it back to you." Jon Kabat-Zinn. |
