Synopsis
A New York Times best seller--now revised and updated with new exercises and guided meditations. "An inviting gateway to the interior territory of profound well-being and wisdom."--Jon Kabat-Zinn, author of Wherever You Go, There You Are From Sharon Salzberg, a pioneer in the field of meditation and world-renowned teacher acclaimed for her down-to-earth style, Real Happiness is a complete guide to starting and maintaining a meditation practice. Beginning with the simplest breathing and sitting techniques, and based on three key skills--concentration, mindfulness, and lovingkindness--it's a practice anyone can do and that can transform our lives by bringing us greater resiliency, creativity, peace, clarity, and balance. This updated 10th anniversary edition includes exercises, journal prompts, and ten guided meditations available for download online and through scannable QR codes., The bestselling 28-day program to finding happiness through meditation, from expert Sharon Salzberg (195,000 copies in print), now revised and updated with new meditations and downloadable audio., Thousands of years prove it, and Western science backs it: Meditation sharpens focus. Meditation lowers blood pressure, relieves chronic pain, reduces stress. Meditation helps us experience greater calm. Meditation connects us to our inner-most feelings and challenges our habits of self-judgment. Meditation helps protect the brain against aging and improves our capacity for learning new things. Meditation opens the door to real and accessible happiness. There is no better person to show a beginner how to harness the power of meditation than Sharon Salzberg, one of the world's foremost meditation teachers and spiritual authors. Cofounder of the Insight Meditation Society, author of Lovingkindness , Faith , and other books, Ms. Salzberg distills 30 years of teaching meditation into a 28-day program that will change lives. It is not about Buddhism, it's not esoteric--it is closer to an exercise, like running or riding a bike. From the basics of posture, breathing, and the daily schedule to the finer points of calming the mind, distraction, dealing with specific problem areas (pain in the legs? falling asleep?) to the larger issues of compassion and awareness, Real Happiness is a complete guide. It explains how meditation works; why a daily meditation practice results in more resiliency, creativity, peace, clarity, and balance; and gives twelve meditation practices, including mindfulness meditation and walking meditation. An extensive selection of her students' FAQs cover the most frequent concerns of beginners who meditate--"Is meditation selfish?" "How do I know if I'm doing it right?" "Can I use meditation to manage weight?"

    The Best Book Ever Written!

    This book along with the added CD Meditation Disc that was included is one of the best books I have ever read. The Meditation Disc was an added treat since before ordering this book on eBay I also purchased it at the Amazon Book Store in Paramus, NJ, but Amazon did not include the CD Meditation Disc. only instructions how to download it. I wanted another book so I decided to order on eBay and was much happier to receive the added CD Meditation Disc with my eBay order.
