wonderful - By: Janie, 07 Jul 2008 
This book is an excellent guide to the technique of mindfulness. The principles of mindfulness are essentially very simple but amazingly effective. It's something that we all forget to do, & this book serves as a powerful reminder to bring our attention away from our thoughts & into our experience. The authors are free of academic jargon & are clearly passionate & extremely knowledgeable about the benefits of mindfulness, & the book is clearly not just for people who might be suffering from depression. I recommend it highly along with Eckhart Tolle's the Power of Now, & Steve Taylor's Making Time Making Time: Why Time Seems to Pass at Different Speeds & How to Control It, which uses mindfulness as a way of livingin the present & becoming free of the future & the past.
The Penny Dropped - By: Princess, 14 Jun 2008 Having suffered depression for 2 years following a particular incident & very bad year this book allowed me to connect my emotional & physical systoms. Explainingin plain english what to do to stop the self turmoil. I am not saying this offers a cure but it certainly offers everyday coping mechanisims that are easy to introduce & stop decline. Highly recommended.
Good Sound Advice - By: Christina Lightfoot, 02 Jun 2008 This book holds advice that will help anyone. The wisdom of the practice of Mindfulness Meditation is the key. I highly recommend it along with 'Sacred Space' by Elizabeth Bailey.
Forgotten Way - By: A. J. Cripps, 22 Apr 2008 Half way through & thoroughly enjoying the book & results.
I remember watching a nature program about big cats hunting mountain goatsin some far outreach of Northern Asia. In one shot they showed a mountain goat resting on an outledge surveying the valley. In it's state it made me think we humans have lost something about beingin touch with nature & what it is to be human. The power to be, not being distracted by the seemingly never ending stream of attempted assaults on our awareness that come at us throughout the day. Adverts, TV, radio, peer pressure, addiction - noticing rather than reacting to!
This book shows you the way to a more natural state of being imho. One of being calm & aware & leaves you with a feeling of general clarity!
the best approach - By: John Shaw, 04 Oct 2007 This book is full of wonderful wisdom- I highly recommend it along with FREE YOUR MIND by Sensei Anthony Stultz & BEING ZEN by EZRA BAYDA.
