Mindful Movements: Ten Exercises for Well-Being [9781888375794]

Overview

This whimsically illustrated introduction to movement-based mindfulness features 10 gentle routines based on yoga and Tai Chi to support meditation practice.

Includes an introduction by Jon Kabat-Zinn and a 35-minute DVD featuring exercise demonstrations by Thich Nhat Hanh

These simple and effective practices designed by Thich Nhat Hanh and his monastic community in Plum Village are meant to reduce physical, mental, and emotional stress and tension to help the meditation practitioner gain the serenity they need to return to a state of mindfulness. 

Offered to the general public for the first time, Mindful Movements is lovingly illustrated by one of Thich Nhat Hanh's long-time practitioners, Wietske Vriezen. Drawn in a whimsical and an immediately appealing style, the booklet presents 10 routines that can be practiced by people of all ages and body types whether they are already familiar with mindfulness practices or not. 

Far from being another exercise program, Mindful Movements is for all those wanting to add a gentle but physical element to their meditation practice. These routines can be practiced before or after sitting meditation, at home, or at work—any time you have a few minutes to refresh your body and quiet your mind. For those new to meditation they are a great, non-threatening way to get acquainted with mindfulness as a complete and multi-faceted practice. For those who already have an established sitting practice, these exercises will come as a welcomed addition.

Includes a special bonus 35-minute DVD of Thich Nhat Hanh and members of his Plum Village Sangha demonstrating the sequences.
