Learn how to bring calm, compassion and understanding into everyday activities and all your relationships with these daily guided meditations and accompanying CD.Contents This book and accompanying CD provides a series of guided meditations for daily life, including a step-by-step explanation of how to meditate and suggested techniques for visualization. Each meditation has accompanying text that provides invaluable insights into the specific theme presented. These themes cover the emotional, spiritual and physical problems we face in everyday life, how to deal with these, and how to achieve a deeper understanding of ourselves and connection with other people. The thematic sections include breath work and concentration on listening to the physical body, including listening to your body in order to pinpoint when dis-ease is reflecting a corresponding emotional imbalance, and how to retune into our body’s signals to help connect us to our emotional states of mind. The book contains a substantial section on the exploration of emotional states such as loving kindness, compassion, grief, anger, fear, forgiveness etc., and how to gain a deeper understanding of both positive and negative aspects of our emotional make up. Plus a complete section on those exercises that can be brought to everyday activities to improve quality of life, e.g. generosity, communication, eating, movement, standing, breaking habitual behaviour and focussing concentration.
