HE IS MUCH LIKE HOWARD ZINN AND NOAM CHOMSKY, BUT CHRIS HAS "BEEN THERE" Read more

Review:What I particularly liked about it was that I felt it took the subject of meditatitive "mindfulness" and applied it to it's usage during the waking course of everyday life -- that is, to noticing what's in you and around you at any given time, i.e., engaging life. Usually I find the subject of meditation treated as recommending a solitary way of retreating from the disturbing pressures of life (sit, cross your legs, breathe....) That's good, some need it, I don't particularly. But this was a goo... Read more

Review:If you have ever thought about a meditation regimen but thought that it was too "new age hippie crap" think again. This book shows the research behind what mindfulness and meditation can accomplish. After just a few weeks of practicing, I find myself less worried and stressed during my day. This book was a really good introduction to the practice and even better, you only need about 10 minutes a day to meditate and experience the results. I was a skeptic but I thought if even a small percentage ... Read more

Review:Mindfulness for beginners is a wonderful introduction to paying attention on purpose, non-judgmentally, as Jon Kabat-Zinn would say. The first CD is a "conversation" about what mindfulness is and is not. The second CD leads you through a number of meditation practices. What I really liked here was the fact that there were built in periods of silence into each practice and when the meditation was over, it was over. This has not been my experience with some other CDs where the meditation ends ... Read more

Review:This is a wonderful read for anyone who struggles with depression and would like to try a new approach, a holistic approach. A lot of therapists don't realize (or at least don't practice from the point of view that) people are multidimensional; we are mind, body, AND spirit. We have physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual components. I love this book, because it addresses all of the aspects. The accompanying cd is wonderful. I'm a mind, body, spirit counselor and I use this book (in my l... Read more

Review:Sweet little book with a really nice introduction to Mindfulness. I was surprised by how pleasant and easy and varied the exercises were, and how familiar some of them already were to me. It makes a perfect pocket or bag book, and is especially best when shared with friends. Read more

Review:This book was full of enlightenment information. It was straight to the point. No unnecessary fluff. Those 5 steps to manifestation were truly helpful. When applied I feel an intense vibration that I’ve never felt before. If this book resonates with you please get it Read more

Review:Its sad that Llewellyn still publishes this trash. SRW is as problematic as they come, mishmashing barely-cited, practically-plagiarized work with rumors, misinformation, and her own dogma (which is as harmful and exclusionary as any conventional religion's BS). She lifts content from other authors as well as faiths and cultures, and puts it all under the label of witchcraft. Or is it Wicca? Oh. Right. She doesnt know the difference.

Please don't buy this book. Do yourself a favor and pic... Read more

Review:I am currently reading it to my fifth graders. This is the second time I have read this book to my students;the first being my then fourth graders. Each time, the class was enthralled with the book. We need MORE books like this,with realistic story lines and applicable messages that children can apply and get life lessons and inspiration from. I feel the current crop of trendy books are pushing more and more "empty calorie" books on children. Great book! I am ordering several copies for our s... Read more

Review:A somewhat wandering yet poetic thought process and journey of finding hope, peace, and joy in life by allowing yourself to be broken and used by God. At times author is too wordy, yet I appreciate her honesty - it's nice to know others struggle too and others also learn through a process that takes time. Read more
