Quiet the mind, feel less stressed, less tired, and achieve a new level of calm and fulfillment in just ten minutes a day

Andy Puddicombe, a former Buddhist monk, the Voice of Headspace, and the UK’s foremost mindfulness expert, is on a mission: to get people to take 10 minutes out of their day to sit in the here and now.

Like his readers and students, Andy began his own meditation practice as a normal, busy person with everyday concerns, and he has since designed a program of mindfulness and guided meditation that fits neatly into a jam-packed daily routine―proving that just 10 minutes a day can make a world of difference.

Accessible and portable, The Headspace Guide to Meditation and Mindfulness offers simple but powerful meditation techniques that positively impact every area of physical and mental health: from productivity and focus, to stress and anxiety relief, sleep, weight-loss, personal relationships...the benefits are limitless. The result? More headspace, less stress. Andy brings this ancient practice into the modern world, tailor made for the most time starved among us.

读后感

看完这本书，如释重负。 冥想对我而言，的确是一个陌生的概念。之前对它充满了不解和猜测。 冥想这个词谁翻译的（那么晦涩）？ “冥”到底是一种什么状态？冥想是一种仪式吗？ 如果不是，为什么需要营造那么重的仪式感？ 冥想之前要做些什么准备？ 要达到什么状态才叫冥想？ ...  

前面的理论部分比较精彩，介绍了应该如何和想法、情感相处，不要反抗他们。 想法都是自发产生的，大脑本身就很繁忙。也许人们现在的问题，主要是想的太多了。 之前是过度强调思考了么(待学习)？ 内观的部分如何融入在生活，里面结合实际的吃饭、走路、锻炼进行了讲解，尤其谈到...  

说到冥想这件事情，你的头脑中是不是第一反应，也会跳出是僧侣，或瑜伽练习者，盘腿而坐，甚至口中还念念有词，近乎通灵呢？我也曾经这么认为。直到一些简单的冥想体验，彻底地改变了我的生活：我知道，作为一个初学者，我距离高僧的四禅八定还离得很远呢。但我确确实实的知道...  

这本书不是一本冥想的入门的好读物。它的可取之处是，用了许多形象的比喻来说明冥想是什么感觉，练习冥想又是什么感觉。 比如，它将驯服混乱跳跃的思维为驯服野马。一开始并不能使劲拽它，既是野马，必定要给它一定的活动范围和缓冲，然后再去使它安静下来。 冥想，中西结合...
