| Abstract | By breaking free from the habits that limit us, a whole world of possibilities opens up. Meditation can take us directly to that world. Grasping, self-judging, comparing, addiction and compulsion. Don't let them take hold - let go...
Struck by how much people suffer from insistent habits of behaviour that dominate their mental, physical, and emotional lives, Batchelor has written a friendly guide to taking control of these habits, and breaking free of them. The Buddhist meditations described in this book are aimed at focusing the mind and then understanding what really lies at the root of repetitive behaviour and what triggers that behaviour. She also explores Buddhist methods for creating a new relationship to our thoughts - and thus begin to change the way we think and behave.
Batchelor also looks at how meditation has been used to create a new way to deal with Obessive Compulsive Disorder, recounts successful combinations of meditation and Twelve Step programmes, and proposes different meditative techniques for dealing with different levels of compulsive or addictive behaviour, or depression.
"This is a marvelous work: warm, wise, personal, original, and eminently practical." Mark Epstein.
"Martine's guidance is kind, direct, utterly sensible, completely persuasive, and calming. And all of these qualities inspire faith and dedication, too, which can be so helpful to anyone who feels caught in the grip of suffering." Sylvia Boorstein.
"Martine Batchelor is a compassionate and gentle guide, leading us through the challenging terrain of our own habitual patterns. She makes it feel it is possible to change, and in this book provides the tools and encouragement we need to actually do it." Sharon Salzberg. |
