Discover the Power of Meditation
Meditation can be life-changing. It can help you focus, calm anxiety, and just be a nice reset for your mind, body, and soul. And that’s just the beginning of what meditation can do for you. But it’s also a lot harder than it looks. I’ve been working towards having a successful meditation practice for the past several years, and some months have been better than others. Sometimes I’ve had to reset and rethink what meditation means to me and why I’m doing it. I think the important thing to remember through your meditation successes and setbacks is that mindfulness and meditation are a journey. The books on this list can help you on that journey. And if you’re coming to this list with no experience with meditation, these books can help you get started. We all have preconceived notions about what meditation is and who practices meditation. In Meditation is Not What You Think, Jon Kabat-Zinn teaches us why meditation is a practice that can be integrated into your daily life. This book acts as the first part of a series designed to educate readers about all aspects of meditative practices. Meditation is Not What You Think answers the most common questions about what meditation is and why it’s beneficial to the yogi and the businessman alike. Jon Kabat-Zinn is a pioneer of mindfulness-based stress reduction techniques, and he brilliantly shares his wisdom in this essential book on meditation.
Even if you know what meditation is, forming your own practice might feel daunting. Instead of stumbling through the creation of a practice, let Jon Kabat-Zinn, mindfulness innovator and educator, introduce you to different types of meditative practices everyone can employ in their daily lives. Read about different types of meditation and techniques for mastering mindfulness. This book explains the what of meditation, and provides a good description of how to integrate meditation into your life. With detailed explanations of what meditation looks and feels like, this book is a vital tool for anyone curious to try meditation, no matter what their skill level or familiarity with the practice.
Stop Missing Your Life is a book about mindfulness and meditation in our everyday lives.

Muscara offers a new method for practicing mindfulness in your daily life through the FACE model (focus, allow, curiosity, and embodiment), and explains the benefits of incorporating mindfulness into your daily routine. Discover the power of enjoying your life instead of letting it simply pass you by!
