25 Lessons in Mindfulness Summary

25 Lessons in Mindfulness: Now Time for Healthy Living by Rezvan Ameli

This book presents a practical, step-by-step approach for establishing your own mindfulness practice.

The practice of mindfulness has received increasing attention and recognition in recent years as a simple, important, and effective means for maintaining physical and emotional health and well-being. Mindfulness involves focusing your attention on immediate present experiences with a compassionate, nonjudgmental attitude.

In 25 Lessons in Mindfulness, you will learn to be mindful of your breath, sounds, sights, tastes, movements, physical sensations, thoughts, and feelings as you maintain a compassionate attitude toward yourself and others. With sustained attention, you will develop the ability to respond to life's experiences with calmness and acceptance, even the difficult experiences that we cannot control.
Brief introductory chapters explain the scientifically proven effects on health, as well as the philosophy behind this ancient practice. The remainder of the book consists of 25 experiential lessons that guide you through various meditative practices.

This book is essential reading for everyone who wants to begin or expand their own mindfulness practice.

25 Lessons in Mindfulness Reviews

Although you may already be familiar with some of this material, there are bound to be epiphanies that open up new ways of using it. Ameli has done a fine job of choosing and arranging this material on mindfulness. -Spirituality & Practice

25 Lessons in Mindfulness is a gem. Step by step, moment to moment, Ameli takes us on a journey through the path of mindfulness. Written with grace, compassion, and clarity, every chapter is helpful. Every chapter gives us a new awakening. It is a book that I will treasure and recommend to friends, family, colleagues, and patients. -Robert L. Leahy, PhD, director, American Institute for Cognitive Therapy; clinical professor of psychology, Department of Psychiatry, Weill Cornell University Medical College, New York Presbyterian Hospital; author of The Worry Cure, Anxiety Free, and Beat the Blues Before They Beat You

Organized around a rich set of practices and clearly articulated teachings, this book will serve anyone seeking to cultivate a compassionate, wise, and mindful presence. -Tara Brach, PhD, author of Radical Acceptance and True Refuge

A triumph! In this groundbreaking book, Ameli has seamlessly merged East and West by bringing a rigorous, scientific mind to ancient spiritual practices. A must-read for anyone who wants to understand the logic behind the mind-body connection and who is seeking powerful tools for living a full, vibrant, purposeful life. -Alicia Korten, CEO, The Culture Company; author of Change Philanthropy
