Un entrenamiento mental mediante el cual sembrar estados de serenidad y estabilidad que te permitirán detener el sufrimiento, y aumentar la satisfacción vital. A través de diferentes prácticas de meditación, la autora nos enseña: * Cómo cultivar la calma, la (auto) compasión, la observación y el autoconocimiento, * Cómo alejarnos de aquello que nos provoca dolor: el autosabotaje, el egocentrismo, las distorsiones cognitivas. * Cómo entrenar nuestra mente para cambiar patrones y hábitos, romper condicionamientos, y encontrar el equilibrio mental y emocional para una vida plena.El poder sanador del silencio te devuelve al presente, a ese instante en que puedes recuperar el control de tu vida, reconducirla y vivirla armónica y plenamente.
