Mindfulness: A Practical Guide to Awakening | Joseph Goldstein
4 posts | 2 read | 2 reading | 3 to read
The mind contains the seeds of its own awakeningseeds that we can cultivate to bring forth the fruits of a life lived consciously. With Mindfulness, Joseph Goldstein shares the wisdom of his four decades of teaching and practice in a book that will serve as a lifelong companion for anyone committed to mindful living and the realization of inner freedom. Goldstein's source teaching is the Satipatthana Sutta, the Buddha's legendary discourse on the four foundations of mindfulness that became the basis for the many types of Vipassana (or insight meditation) found today. Exquisite in detail yet wholly accessible and relevant for the modern student, Mindfulness takes us through a profound study of: Ardency, clear knowing, mindfulness, and concentrationhow to develop these four qualities of mind essential for walking the path wisely The Satipatthana refrainhow deeply contemplating the four foundations of mindfulness opens us to bare knowing and continuity of mindfulness Mindfulness of the body, including the breath, postures, activities, and physical characteristics Mindfulness of feelingshow the experience of our sense perceptions influences our inner and outer worlds Mindfulness of mindlearning to recognize skillful and unskillful states of mind and thought Mindfulness of dhammas (or categories of experience), including the Five Hindrances, the Six Sense Spheres, the Seven Factors of Awakening, and much more "There is a wealth of meaning and nuance in the experience of mindfulness that can enrich our lives in unimagined ways," writes Goldstein. In Mindfulness you have the tools to mine these riches for yourself.

Reading this to keep me away from East if Eden until the next part, trying to savor it and stick to the #buddyread schedule. But I admit I peeked ahead🙋🏼‍♀️

This is not the book in the Litsy database, it's a Norwegian mindfulness book I found on sale (and which didn't have a horrible cover). Just to give it a try. Even though I despise all things self help. (Paired with Prosecco. Very good Prosecco from Arlanda airport. Why did I just buy 2 bottles?!)
