Improve the quality of your daily living!
I had not planned on jumping into meditation. After reading the introduction to meditation, it was like potato chips, I had to have more. I wanted to know more about taking my meditation to the next level, after finding my introduction to the topic so useful. Beth goes into the mindfulness technique, which helped me ‘tune in’. I quickly realized that one of the great ways to enjoy my travels more is to master my awareness and mindfulness of the beauty around me. Knowing ways to improve what turns you on is always a plus. I already see the benefits of her material in improving my focus. Now it is no longer about sitting in a dive, drinking a beer and putting my thoughts together. Now it is about ‘tuning’ into the details of wherever I go, noticing subtle items that I overlooked before. Becoming mindful is a way to gain more out of every aspect of your life, whether it be traveling, meeting someone for lunch or a drive through the county. Tools that help you get more out of your life and your life experiences are always beneficial and worth the expense. It is worth WAY more than the price of the book.Consider the bargain, a few dollars to help you improve the quality of your daily living! That is a bargain. You can’t always change where you are, but you can learn to get more out of it. Beth’s book helped me get more out of what is important to me. Beth focuses on how to have limitless successes. To me, learning how to improve my mindfulness along with the improved concentration, focus and clarity are some real bonuses to having read her book.The book moves quickly. There was no getting bogged down in over-detailed distractions that some meditation books have. On reading through it, you can do it. This is not something that will take months or years of study to master. I am sure that as I continue putting into practice what I learned, I will get better, yet I like fast results. Her book gave me fast results. Books that allow me to improve myself quickly are valuable tools.As a travel writer, my awareness and ability to communicate are the tools of my trade. Techniques that improve those tools and how well they work always pay dividends.

Attending fully to the present moment
Anything that distracts you from the present moment is mind-less-ness but that which gives you peace, harmony and happiness in your life and allows you to achieve higher levels of physical, mental and spiritual well-being is being mindful. Being in a state of distrust, worry, comparing ourselves to to others, the feeling of having more does not come from the present moment be comes from being in the past or looking forward to the future. They are distractions. Your mind, says the author Beth Banning, is like a pinball machine with our thoughts bouncing between all the different things we have to worry and feel concerned about. Getting over this feeling is what this book is all about. Mindfulness Meditation is not like a meditation where the goal is to connect with your inner space and achieve tranquility and disappear within, however Mindfulness Meditation is about increasing our awareness of the here and now and eradicating stress, worry and negative anticipation and to trust our senses and intuition while believing in our own capability to succeed. The author shows us how to look at our goals. What we focus on will grow, she tells us.The section on money which in our Western world is based on a scarcity model and how we can change that with being mindful. is very helpful.

Lessons Learned and Re-learned
As someone who has practiced meditation off and on for a number of years I was very happy when this came into my e-mail as a free download last week. I knew much of the lessons in the book already but honestly had not been practicing the principles based out of just being plain lazy. Yup, there I said it. I am an energy worker and should not be forgetting the lessons that were in this book. I need to be mindful of what I am doing each day from the simple things like brushing my teeth to walking out to the car.One of the biggest lessons that I re-learned from this book is the idea of T.H.I.N.K. It is an acronym for how we handle things and what we say in our daily livesT-Is it true?H-Is it helpful?I-Is it important?N-Is it necessary?K-Is it kind?I love this acronym and can honestly say I have not been good at keeping this in my heart and using it to gauge how I talk and interact with others. The lessons I have learned (and re-learned) in this book have been very eye opening and I am going to refer to this book often. Thank you Beth Banning for a truly inspiring read!

Eating alone can be valuable.
This book offers a great introduction to the art of bring mindful. I love that so many examples are offered and that they are explained step by step to help even the novice practiced accomplish the activities quickly. The variety of options to still the mind are useful to app,h to alternative personality types and levels of skill in the silencing of the mind. My favorite tip was to actually focus on and notice the experience of eating. I a, quite sure my iPhone and other distractions typically fill up my mind during solitary meals.  How powerful to use that time when I must eat alone and practice getting more of what I really want out of life. What captured my attention is that by being mindful “we are more able to more effectively concentrate on the tasks at hand making us more efficient.”. Who doesn’t need more efficiency in our busy world?As a wealth mentor, I appreciate the inclusion of mindfulness around money included in this book. This, in some form, is the starting point I must take with some of my clients who have not yet developed this level of attention with their financial situations. Those who come to me with this can usually grow much faster and become quickly pleased with the financial transformations they are capable of achievingCrystal GiffordWww.crystalgifford.com

This is a helpful, well written guide with lots of useful gems that can provide inspiration for beginners or experienced meditators alike. There is a potted history of mindfulness and a clear explanation of what ‘it’ is, along with several practical exercises that are well explained.I particularly liked the honest, open approach that suggests mindfulness is very much a practice and not something that is going to happen overnight. It is a conscious choice, e.g. we can wake up mindfully and be aware of how it feels to wake, dress ourselves mindfully etc.There are also additional sections on ‘stress and mindfulness’, mindfulness at work, mindfulness to help you achieve your goals and so on. I’ve read a few books on mindfulness and not all of them are as succinct and practical in this way, so that was appreciated!As with learning anything new, it takes a bit of practice, but making a Kindle edition of this book means that I can read and re-read sections when I’m out and about.Overall, this is a great little book and well worth 77p!!
