i’m mindful, now what?: moving beyond mindfulness to meet the modern world

Meditation can be so much more than 20 minutes of tranquility a day. ＂With some initial practice,＂ shares Andrew Holecek, ＂you’ll bring a mind that is more present, open, sensitive, kind, and aware into every facet of life. Wherever you go, your wondrous mind will go with you.＂

Mindfulness is everywhere--now widely considered an essential part of a healthy lifestyle, much like exercise, diet, and good sleep. Yet many of us who practice mindfulness wonder: Now what? If you’ve sensed the potential for something much deeper and more impactful than temporary stress reduction and calm in the stillness of the present moment, expert teacher Andrew Holecek offers an exciting, inviting guide for what is possible in the vast, transformative world of meditation beyond mindfulness.

With I’m Mindful, Now What?, Holecek reveals how the form of mindfulness many of us know is merely one thread in a time-honored and much richer tapestry of contemplative practice.

Here he presents an encompassing survey of the many dimensions of meditation--including paths for opening your heart, nurturing compassion, connecting with your body, expanding your dreaming life, and investigating the fundamental nature of reality.

In accessible language geared for both first-timers and the experienced, Holecek shares insights and tools to help you develop your practice, stretch your limits while navigating the pitfalls, use ＂meditation snacks＂ to open new directions, and more.
