Mindfulness in itself is a powerful tool. But Vipassana sees mindfulness as one tool among many. Mindfulness isn't practiced solely to improve oneself, but to effect positive change in the world. Compassion for others is actively fostered and reflection on beneficial behavior encouraged. This book is an introduction to the philosophy behind Vipassana Meditation, and information on how to practice Vipassana style mindfulness in your daily life. It includes information on various meditation techniques, and about the various meditation retreats offered worldwide. If you can't, you'll find suggestions in this book for a DIY retreat, or how to start a daily practice of your own. Here is a few of the topics covered: Simple Vipassana meditation techniquesWhat is mindfulness meditationWhat is insight meditationThe Benefits of vipassana meditationHow to practice meditation at homeWhy medidateBuddhist meditation methodsBuddhist insightsVipassana meditation effectsLife after vipassanaHow to make Vipassana a daily practiceVipassana meaningVipassana sittingMindfulness has been a powerful tool, enabling me to quiet my mind when I need to, and granting me the strength and focus needed to address problems rather than worry about them. As I continued on my mindfulness journey, I began to feel that there was something missing. I then noticed that my spiritual side was unfulfilled. As I explored first Yoga, then Vipassana Meditation, I found what I was looking for. I hope that this book does the same for you.

As a teacher for over eleven years and now a devoted Aunt, I immediately saw the need to bring the benefits I was experiencing myself through my own mindful practice to the lives of kids and teens.In this book, aimed at parents, teachers and anyone who works with children, I provide a brief overview of mindfulness, before looking at why mindfulness is so beneficial for kids and teens in today's world.I outline the benefits of mindfulness, before sharing practical ways to teach mindfulness to children of all ages.In the Mindfulness Meditation section, various examples of meditation exercises are explored, with detailed directions to provide a guideline for developing a mindful practice that fits the needs of your children. In the remaining section, I look at ways to incorporate mindfulness into life at school, home and by making mindfulness part of your daily routine.In many ways, this book is the tip of a much bigger iceberg, but I hope that it will empower you to make mindfulness part of you and your children's lives and empower you to explore the potential of mindfulness.
