Mindfulness is everywhere—touted as an essential part of a healthy lifestyle like exercise, diet, and good sleep. Yet many of us who practice mindfulness wonder: "Now what?" For anyone who has sensed the potential for something much deeper and more profound than stress relief within the stillness of the present moment, expert teacher Andrew Holecek presents an essential guidebook on what is possible in the vast, transformative world of meditation beyond mindfulness.
With I’m Mindful, Now What?, Holecek reveals how the form of mindfulness many of us know is merely one thread in a much older, greater tapestry of contemplative practice. Here he presents an encompassing survey of the many dimensions of meditation—including paths for opening your heart, nurturing compassion, connecting with your body, expanding your dreaming life, and investigating the fundamental nature of reality. In accessible language, he shares insights and tools to help you develop your practice, navigate the limits and pitfalls of mindfulness, use "meditation snacks" to explore new directions, and much more.
Meditation can be so much more than 20 minutes of tranquility each day. As Holecek says: "With some initial practice, you’ll bring a mind that is more present, open, sensitive, kind, and aware into every facet of life. Wherever you go, your wondrous mind will go with you."
