A Mindful Way

Eight Weeks to Happiness

“A Mindful Way is a simple and effective introduction to the moral and spiritual guide called The Five Mindfulness Trainings. It offers creative ideas for daily practical exercises and activities that can help bring about inner peace, unselfishness, understanding, tolerance and compassion.

We can often become victims of our own minds - paralyzed by regret about the past and fear of the future. To live in grace, truly at peace with ourselves, requires deep insight and changing our behavior to reflect that insight.

Through the practices of daily mediation, journaling and expressing gratitude, A Mindful Way enables readers to seek and find their own insights, deepening their understanding of themselves and others.

The present moment is the most precious gift we have. A Mindful Way is simple guide to help each of us enjoy and appreciate every moment we are given.”

From the Foreword by Thich Nhat Hanh

“A lovely rendering of Thich Nhat Hahn's precepts. Sensitive, cogent and useful text with simple exercises that help on to awaken the human heart.”

From Joan Halifax Roshi

A Mindful Diet

Four Weeks to Eating Awareness

“ What shall I eat today?” is a very deep question. You will find that as you practice awareness of consumption and looking deeply at what you eat, your habit energy may soon begin to change. And with mindful eating you may cultivate the seeds of compassion and understanding that could strengthen your will to do something to help hungry and lonely people to be nourished in many other ways.

Keeping your body healthy is a wonderful way of expressing gratitude.  If you are healthy, then everyone will benefit from this.  We are what we consume.  If you look deeply into how much and what items you consume everyday, you will get to know your own nature very well.

The simple practices outlines in this new book by Jeanie Seward-Magee, “A Mindful Diet - Four Weeks to Eating Awareness” are a wonderful introduction to the art of practicing mindful eating for life.”
