Sounds True Inc Im Mindful Now What
Meditation can be so much more than 20 minutes of tranquility a day. With some initial practice, shares Andrew Holecek, you'll bring a mind that is more present, open, sensitive, kind, and aware into every facet of life. Wherever you go, your wondrous mind will go with you.Mindfulness is everywherenow widely considered an essential part of a healthy lifestyle, much like exercise, diet, and good sleep. Yet many of us who practice mindfulness wonder: Now what? If you've sensed the potential for something much deeper and more impactful than temporary stress reduction and calm in the stillness of the present moment, expert teacher Andrew Holecek offers an exciting, inviting guide for what is possible in the vast, transformative world of meditation beyond mindfulness.With I'm Mindful, Now What?, Holecek reveals how the form of mindfulness many of us know is merely one thread in a time-honored and much richer tapestry of contemplative practice.

Sounds True Inc Reverse Meditation: How to Use Your Pain and Most Difficult Emotions as the Doorway to Inner Freedom
Why do we meditate? The main reason most modern people start meditating is because it helps us feel better-reducing anxiety, improving sleep, decluttering the mind, and so forth. "But where does your meditation go when things go bad?" asks Andrew Holecek. "Where is your spirituality when 'rock meets bone,' as they say in Tibet-when the crap hits the fan?" Any meditator who sticks with it long enough will hit a turning point, when the methods that once brought inner peace stop working like they used to. In Reverse Meditation, Holecek reveals that's when our practice really begins-when we are called to throw out any assumption that meditation somehow insulates us from the confusion, suffering, and uncertainty of life. "By putting your meditation into reverse," he teaches, "you'll actually find yourself going forward. Step into your pain and you can step up your evolution." With his signature blend of depth and accessibility, Holecek teaches three expansive approaches to meditation- shamatha-based mindfulness, open awareness, and the boundary-smashing reverse meditations-along with on-the-spot practices for snapping into a meditative mindset even in trying moments. "What you once tried to escape with meditation now becomes your practice," he says. "This leads you to the discovery of unconditional happiness, basic goodness, and true freedom in the most turbulent situations."
