Mindful Movements (Book & DVD)
The 10 Mindful Movements were initially developed by Thich Nhat Hahn as stretching breaks between long periods of sitting meditation, but they have become a popular tool to reduce stress and tension. Based on Tai Chi and Yoga, they are gentle enough for people who cannot do vigorous exercise. However, the young and the healthy will also find them wonderful to do, because of the effect that slow, mindful movement has in calming and grounding us. Each movement is clearly described and illustrated with a cute and colourful line drawing. Nhat Hanh is skilful at creating a still space with words, which helps you to stop and notice the deeper meaning of his message in your own experience.
For instance:
'Mindfulness is our ability to be aware of what is going on both inside us and around us. It is the continuous awareness of our bodies, emotions and thoughts. Through mindfulness, we avoid harming ourselves and others, and we can work wonders. If we live mindfully in everyday life, walk mindfully, are full of love and caring, then we create a miracle and transform the world into a wonderful place.'
'In practicing mindfulness, we become a peaceful refuge for ourselves and others.'
This is a hardcover book with a spiral inner binding so it will lay open. Thich Nhat Hanh and members of his Plum Village community demonstrate the movements on the 35-minute DVD.
