Mindfulness: The Miraculous Practice

by Jim Carruth

Imagine sitting comfortably, watching a balloon float through the air. If you can do that, you can practice mindfulness.

While writing this book, I took a look at many of the other books on mindfulness and meditation.

I saw books that went into copious, if unnecessary detail. I saw books that described the author sitting uncomfortably on the floor for hours, trying to force his mind to concentrate, and feeling bad when he couldn’t make that happen.

This book will teach you how to practice mindfulness in as few pages, and with as few words as possible. But don’t be mislead just because this is a rather easy-to-read, simple book. Mindfulness is a very powerful, life-changing practice, wrapped up in what appears to be a very simple technique.

The mind loves to complicate things. Mindfulness is simplicity itself. Don’t miss out on a good thing because you think good things will only come to you if you have to work really hard for them. In some cases, this is true. Fortunately, this is not the case with mindfulness.

If you are interested in improving the quality of your life, and are willing to devote 15 minutes a day to practicing, the results you get may just delight and amaze you.
