Mind Your Life: How Mindfulness Can Build Resilience and Reveal Your Extraordinary

From a world-class coach and teacher comes a practical guide for cultivating a truly sustainable mindfulness practice

Mindfulness can feel like swimming upstream against your own mind. Yet the benefits are clear: enhanced attention, empathy and resilience, and reduced anxiety, stress and insomnia. Unfortunately, too many don't find a practice that works for them and their busy lives.

In this rich resource, Integral Master Coach(R) and meditation teacher Meg Salter shows you how to pay deep attention to the full range of moment-by-moment sensory experiences--anywhere, anytime. Mind Your Life will teach you to integrate awareness into your everyday life, including during difficult conversations, or when trying to fall (and stay) asleep.

This is not your ordinary mindfulness. Mind Your Life combines elements of Shinzen Young's Unified Mindfulness system with proven coaching methods for positive change over the long term. Interwoven with the strategies and theory are inspiring stories of ordinary heroes who found that simple changes sustained over the years led to remarkable lives.

Whether you have only a few minutes a day to start, or have been meditating for years, this book is for you. After all, when you mind life, life minds you back.

Advance praise for Mind Your Life:

"The mainstreaming of mindfulness has become something of a fad. Unfortunately, many authors in that genre know much more about the mainstream than they do about the deep end of what mindfulness practice can deliver. Not so with Meg. She has practiced intensely for many decades. And she has personal experience of how a mindfulness practice can provide the 'big guns' that deliver the goods when all else fails. In this book, you will find evidence-based coaching strategies to help you turn good intentions into a sustainable practice." - Shinzen Young

"My curiosity about meditation and mindfulness practices had been growing but Mind Your Life really provided the impetus and skills for incorporating it into my daily life and realizing the benefits. A great practical guide." - Scott Whitbread, Partner, Stroud International

"Meg generously shares real-world wisdom in an inspiring and pragmatic way that coaches can use immediately with their overwhelmed clients." - Jill Malleck, Epiphany at Work, Integral Master Coach and OD Consultant
