Mindfulness with Breathing
by Larry Rosenberg Ajahn Buddhadasa Bhikkhu Santikaro BhikkhuAny practitioner, after meditating for some time, inevitably wonders what meditation method the historical Buddha Shakyamuni himself used while beneath the Bodhi Tree. Many people understand that prior to his realization, Shakyamuni Buddha studied with many of the great yogis of his time, but most do not know what method he ultimately found leads most directly to nirvana. In Ajahn Buddhadasa Bhikkhu's book, Mindfulness With Breathing, the Thai meditation master provides practitioners with penetrating insights into theAnapanasati Sutta, the canonical text which many believe is the most direct transmission of Shakyamuni Buddha's breath meditation methods. Combined with a concise translation of the sutta itself, Mindfulness with Breathing is one of the best guides to Buddhist meditation practice available in the English language.

by Clara BadinoPrimer nivel de una serie de tres para introducir en la práctica de Mindfulness a los adultos educadores como agentes multiplicadores y llegar a los niños y los adolescentes. Cada vez son más las instituciones educativas que incorporan Mindfulness a su currícula. Pero cabe preguntar: ¿con qué intención lo hacen? ¿Esos adultos que imparten las clases lo practican? Clara Badino, precursora en toda América Latina de la formación de instructores de Mindfulness, se propone en este primer nivel (de una serie de tres) introducir en la meditación a los adultos educadores como agentes multiplicadores para llegar a los niños y los adolescentes. Cada libro será un nuevo nivel de profundización e introspección.

Descubrirán que es la manera más consciente de enseñar. Esas raíces harán crecer la copa que se expandirá para albergar a alumnos, hijos y a todo aquel que se acerque a la sombra del árbol. Porque Mindfulness tiene un solo modo de ser trasmitida: desde la misma práctica. «Deseo de corazón que este libro eche raíces en el interior de cada lector para generar cambios y crear entre todos un mundo donde el amor se presente con un sentido profundo de pertenencia, sin distinción de razas, creencias, culturas, religiones, formas de pensar, sentir y actuar, siempre desde el cultivo de la compasión.»Clara Badino
Mindfulness, 25th Anniversary Edition (A Merloyd Lawrence Book)
by Ellen J. LangerEllen J. Langer, Harvard professor of psychology, determines that the mindless following of routine and other automatic behaviors lead to much error, pain and a predetermined course of life. In this thought-provoking book, her research has been "translated" for the lay reader. With anecdotes and metaphors, Langer explains how the mindless--as opposed to the mindful--develop mindsets of categories, associations, habits of thought born of repetition in childhood and throughout schooling. To be mindful, she notes, stressing process over outcome, allows free rein to intuition and creativity, and opens us to new information and perspectives. Langer discusses the negative impact of mindsets on business and social relations, showing special concern for the elderly, who often suffer from learned helplessness and lack of options. Encouraging the application of mindfulness to health, the author affirms that placebos and alternative, mind-based therapies can help patients and addicts move from unhealthy to healthy contexts.

Mindfulness: A Practical Guide to Awakening
by Joseph Goldstein[from inside flaps] "The mind contains the seeds of its own awakening--seeds that we can cultivate to bring forth the fruits of a life lived consciously. With Mindfulness, Joseph Goldstein shares the wisdom of his four decades of teaching and practice in a book that will serve as a lifelong companion for anyone committed to mindful living and the realization of inner freedom. Goldstein's source teaching is the Satipatthana Sutta, the Buddha's legendary discourse on the four foundations of mindfulness that became the basis for the many types of Vipassana (or insight meditation) found today. Exquisite in detail yet wholly accessible and relevant for the modern student, Mindfulness takes us through a profound study of: * - Ardency, clear knowing, mindfulness, and concentration--how to develop these four qualities of mind essential for walking the path wisely - The Satipatthana refrain--how deeply contemplating the four foundations of mindfulness opens us to bare knowing and continuity of mindfulness - Mindfulness of body, including the breath, postures, activities, and physical characteristics - Mindfulness of feelings--how the experience of our sense perceptions influences our inner and outer worlds - Mindfulness of mind--learning to recognize skillful and unskillful states of mind and thought - Mindfulness of dhammas (or categories of experience), including the Five Hindrances, the Six Sense Spheres, the Seven Factors of Awakening, and much more * "There is a wealth of meaning and nuance in the experience of mindfulness that can enrich our lives in unimagined ways," writes Goldstein. In Mindfulness you have the tools to mine these riches for yourself. * Joseph Goldstein has been leading insight and lovingkindness meditation retreats worldwide since 1974. He is a cofounder of the Insight Meditation Society, the Barre Center for Buddhist Studies, and the Forest Refuge. Since 1967, he has studied and practiced different forms of Buddhist meditation under eminent teachers from India, Burma, and Tibet. His many publications include A Heart Full of Peace and One Dharma, the Abiding in Mindfulness audio series, and more. See dharma.org."
