The Miracle of Mindfulness

[micki]

I ordered the Miracle of Mindfulness to see if I want to give it to a friend. I'm already thinking probably not, but I will continue reading through it so I can return it before it is due. It is a much more straightforward guide to techniques than the other Thich Nhat Hanh I've been reading. The chapter I read today was on creating a day of mindfulness weekly, so you try to practice mindfulness in waking, in bathing, in doing your chores, etc. throughout the whole day. It suggested mostly a silent day, though it would be ok to speak if you were focused on speaking, sing if you're focused on singing, etc.

The parallel to a sabbath is interesting, but I honestly feel that a full day of practice would be extremely challenging!
