Mindfulness, just exactly what is it. Is it the same as meditation and if not why not, as it would seem to the layperson that the end result of meditation brings you to mindfulness?

No, it’s not a conundrum sent to test your knowledge or your meditation techniques, it is a separate state of, you got it, mindfulness. But is it better than chocolate? That is still for you to discover!

Meditation will certainly help you still the mind and slow the body and brain down, but achieving the state of mindfulness is something more.

It is a very powerful place to be, mentally and spiritually and it is in reach of every one who is seeking a way of slowing down, of reclaiming charge of their lives and how they live them.

With his characterising way of adding humour and light heartedness to his subject matter David Michie introduces us to an place of inner peace we can all achieve by simply understanding the basic philosophy of what really is the mind; other than an component of the body that controls all that we do, think and feel, or is it so much more.

Scientist have so far failed to come up with a hard and an fast explanation, but when you start to explore the mindfulness theory much of the information gathered, taught and experienced by Michie comes together to form a platform that helps you understand why there is the need in today’s fast paced world, to be able to enter the state of mindfulness at will: literally to give the mind and body a little rest, an break from daily stress and trauma.

Step by step he describes the pathway required to be taken, based not only on his own Buddhist teachings and philosophes, but also on contemporary science he encourages everyone to commence walking the pathway to mindfulness, leading on to inner peace, happiness and clear focus within our lives.

It is, as always with his books, an interesting as well as fascinating read and guide into improving oneself, the gentle way.
