Beginning Mindfulness - Book Review

Beginning Mindfulness: Learning the Way of Awareness by Andrew Weiss

This book is good introduction to the practice of mindfulness. The author sets forth a 10 week structured course to build a growing awareness and provides guidelines for beginning a mediation practice – both a sitting practice and walking practice.

The text offers suggestions for growing mindfulness in daily life with a series of formal and informal “home play.” A disciple of Thich Nhat Hanh, Weiss’ writing is accessible and down to earth.
