Publisher's Synopsis
In order to manage a feeling, it is important to identify it the moment it arises. Mindfulness helps to recognize the feeling and make room between a feeling and the physical impulse that follows. Instead of getting carried away by a negative feeling, we can turn into a keen observer and experience the feeling the way it is. This technique significantly decreases the effects of negative emotions on our mind and body. That's why mindfulness is becoming increasingly popular as a stress reduction method. This book offers simple techniques and yoga postures to reduce stress by incorporating mindfulness into our daily lives.
