Wisdom for Mindful Living: Dwelling in Awareness - Paperback

by Ronald Gordon (Author)

Stress, anxiety, and depression are running rampant in the twenty-first century. We're imploding, our internal systems are crashing. We need rescuing, self-caring, self-nurturing, self-healing, and self-transcendence. We need to discover mindsets and methods that will allow us to continue on with poise and purpose. Wisdom from the past and human sciences from the present combine in these pages to pass along teachings for wiser living. Affirmations, visualizations, words of wisdom, growth-mindset prompts, natural breath awareness reminders, and breathwork techniques are all aimed at taking us beyond the limited confines of our busy worrying minds and into the realm of purer Awareness. This volume contains more than a thousand brief stand-alone entries, well-suited to the needs of today's reader. Just open the book somewhere and dive in for one, two, or three minutes. You will come away enriched. Sometimes we're meant to spend awhile with a particular book. That's how it will be for this volume and its readers. There's wisdom here of which we all need to be reminded.
