Everyday Blessings: The Inner Peace

Wherever You Go, There You Are introduced millions to mindfulness, the simple and powerful meditative practice of cultivating moment-to-moment awareness in order to bring wisdom and understanding and a greater sense of meaning and purposefulness into our daily living.Now Jon and Myla Kabat-Zinn, in a groundbreaking new book, show how parents can enrich their lives and the lives of their children, bringing out the inner potential and beauty that reside in parents and children alike, through intentional, mindful parenting.Parents today are often caught up in moving so quickly and automatically that they have trouble seeing their children fully in each moment. As a result, it is difficult for them to respond adequately or give the children the greatest possible gift of a parent -- one's nonjudgmental, conscious, fully accepting presence. Everyday Blessings provides a powerful new way of looking at and facing the challenges of parenthood, illuminating how a lack of awareness fosters patterns that damage both parent and child, and how mindfulness brings healing and transformation to this essential relationship.A treasure of stories and practical wisdom for all parents, Everyday Blessings is eagerly awaited by fans of Jon Kabat-Zinn's previous best-selling books who desire to enter into a fuller, richer relationship with their children and with their own lives.
