Transform Your Life Through Mindfulness: Release Subconscious Fear & Reclaim The Present

Have you ever arrived at work and realize that you don't remember any of the car ride there? Have you ever finished a bag of popcorn and you barely remember opening it? Most people have had moments like this. This is known as mindlessness or autopilot. This causes a buildup of depression, anxiety, reactivity, and stress. It has been proven that the more you let your mind wander, and go on autopilot, the less happy you are. This brings us to mindfulness. Mindfulness is literally the exact opposite of mindlessness. It is the act of waking from autopilot and taking control of your attention. With mindfulness, you are keeping a moment to moment awareness of everything going on around you; your body, thoughts, sensation, feelings, and environment. It also means you are non-judgmental. When you start paying attention you can't judge your thoughts or feelings. You have to be impartial to it all. Mindfulness is a great practice that can improve anybody's quality of life. Mindfulness has been around for centuries. An easy way to explain the background of mindfulness is Buddhism. What we know as mindfulness comes from the meditation practices of the Buddhists, around 2500 years ago. They used the meditation to reach inner peace, unlock potential, grow their concentration, and intellectual and spiritual development. Hinduism was old when Buddha was born. Mindfulness had already been a part of the Hindu ways and teaching. Buddha used mindfulness as his core philosophy in his teachings. He taught that life revolved around it, and explained the what it meant for everyday life. Buddha had lots of people around him that recorded his teachings, unlike Jesus. In this book you will learn: -What mindfulness is -The history of mindfulness -The benefits of mindfulness -How to practice mindfulness -And much more You won't only learn something new, but you will learn something that will improve every aspect of your life. Mindfulness is a fairly easy practice to learn, as long as you are willing to put your whole heart into it. Even though it is easy, you will have to work through some hurdles because there will be things that you won't want to face, but in the end, you will love yourself more for it. The longer you practice mindfulness the more long-term changes you will notice. Your happiness, well-being, and mood will all improve. Studies have proven that this kind of meditation can prevent depression and improve anxiety and stress levels. You will learn how to deal with irritability and emotional stressors more easily. Many other studies have proven that people that meditate won't see their doctors as often as others, and won't spend as much time in hospitals. Your memory will also improve and you will have a faster reaction time. Mindfulness is a practice that anybody can develop, and anybody is able to try it. It has been in practice for thousands of years and has spread across the world.
