Research has demonstrated the value of mindfulness-based practices for our physical and mental health. This book provides clear, do-able mindfulness-based exercises that can help you achieve inner peace regardless of your starting point. That awareness of inner peace, in all four components of who we are, offers us an inner sanctuary from our frenetic and sometimes painful experience of life. Negativity and physical, mental, or emotional pain lose their power when we experience inner peace. We approach ourselves and our lives in a fresh, mindful manner. Marcia A.
