Daily Mindfulness Meditation

Jan Chozen Bays, MD - physician and Zen teacher - has developed a series of simple practices to help us cultivate mindfulness as we go about our ordinary, daily lives. Exercises include: taking three deep breaths before answering the phone, noticing and adjusting your posture throughout the day, eating mindfully, and leaving no trace of yourself after using the kitchen or bathroom. Each exercise is presented with tips on how to remind yourself and a short life lesson connected with it.

Daily Meditations for Mindfulness consists of five different 20 minute guided meditation sessions. The sessions have been created to develop and promote two key aspects of mindfulness, awareness of the present moment and acceptance without judgment. Awareness of the present moment helps us to enjoy pleasures as they arise, fully engage in all activities and develop a greater capacity to deal with challenging situations. Acceptance without judgment allows us not to worry about the small stuff.
