The Power of Meditation – Christophe Andre

‘Taking the time to meditate paves the way for emotional balance, inner peace, clarity, tolerance, and kindness.’ In a world where smartphones and obligations consume us entirely, where everything is moving faster and faster, we no longer pay attention to ourselves and our needs. Fortunately, meditation can help with this. Scientific research shows that regular mindful meditation offers numerous physical and mental benefits. Just as we keep our bodies healthy through exercise, we keep our minds healthy through meditation. In this book, Christophe André—one of the first doctors to use mindfulness as a form of therapy—explores exactly what meditation is and why ‘mindfulness,’ its simplest form, has taken the modern world by storm in such a short time. You’ll learn what science has to say about it, as well as the traditions from which this method originated and its benefits and limitations. And even more importantly: through a series of exercises, you’ll learn how to apply mindfulness in practice, because meditation is something you simply have to do!
