Mindfulness on the Go: Simple Meditation Practices You Can Do Anywhere

A pocket-sized collection of 25 easy mindfulness practices you can do anytime, anywhere--from the author of Mindful Eating

Mindfulness can reduce stress, improve physical health and quality of life, and give you deep insight. Meditation practice is one way to do it, but not the only way. In fact, there are easy ways to fit it into your everyday life. Jan Chozen Bays provides here 25 practices that can be used on the go to cultivate mindfulness. The three-breath practice, the mindfulness of entering rooms, offering compliments, tasting your food one careful bite at a time--these deceptively simple practices can have a cumulative effect for the better.

Use them to cultivate the gratitude and insight that come from paying attention with body, heart, and mind to life's many small moments.

This book is an abridgment of Bays' longer collection How to Train a Wild Elephant: And Other Adventures in Mindfulness.

Mindfulness on the Go is part of the Shambhala Pocket Library series. The Shambhala Pocket Library is a collection of short, portable teachings from notable figures across religious traditions and classic texts. The covers in this series are rendered by Colorado artist Robert Spellman. The books in this collection distill the wisdom and heart of the work Shambhala Publications has published over 50 years into a compact format that is collectible, reader-friendly, and applicable to everyday life.
