   Jon Kabat-Zinn speaking of Mindfulness states: ‘Mindfulness is moment by moment, non-judgmental awareness, cultivated by paying attention. Mindfulness arises through Vipassana Meditation and is experienced daily in our lives. Mindfulness is a way of Befriending ourselves and our experiences. Of course, our experience is vast and includes our own body, our mind, our heart, and the entire world.’ Taken from his book: ‘Arriving at Your Door: 108 Lessons on Mindfulness’

   ‘Mindfulness in Plain English’ by: Henepola Gunaratana is a Book/Manuel on the Practice of Mindfulness Meditation:

   *Here is the Website:

   This book is very thorough on the Practice of Mindfulness
   Meditation-covering subjects from the practice of
   what to do with your mind; structuring your meditation;
   where to sit; how long to sit; set up exercises;
   the three-fold guidance-that is loving-kindness;
   dealing with problems; dealing with distractions part 1;
   dealing with distractions part 2; Mindfulness - Sati;
   Mindfulness verses Concentration; Meditation in everyday
   life; and much more. This is a ‘very’ thorough How to Manuel
   on the Practice of Mindfulness Meditation. It has helped me so…very much. Daily have made a habit of referring to this book-for the practice of mindfulness meditation and also loving-kindness meditation. Chapter Nine has the chapter on the practice of Loving-kindness Meditation-which is practiced daily before the practice of Mindfulness Meditation.

   Hope this helps.
