New Releases by Danny Penman

The original Mindfulness was written for those struggling to cope with the frantic pace of modern life. Mindfulness for Creativity is written for those who want to optimise their work, life and overall wellbeing. The simple mindfulness techniques at the heart of the book have been proven to enhance creativity, problem solving and decision making. They also dissolve anxiety, stress and depression while enhancing mental resilience and overall wellbeing. The four week programme takes just 10-20 minutes per day. The easy-to-follow programme works by clearing your mind and allowing innovative ideas to take form and crystallise. This helps you to spontaneously ''see'' the solution to a problem, to conjure up new ideas, or to create works of art and design with true insight and flair. The programme also helps build the courage necessary for you to follow your ideas wherever they should lead - and the resilience to cope with the inevitable knockbacks. This book will help your mind work more effectively so that you can solve problems faster, more intuitively and have the inner confidence to drive your ideas forward. The accompanying CD contains 6 meditations that you can use to build an ongoing practice, mixing and matching meditations to suit your circumstances.

Os autores apresentam técnicas cientificamente fundamentadas que você pode usar para atravessar os períodos de crise ou para enfrentar os desafios do dia a dia." – Daniel Goleman, autor de Foco e Inteligência emocional Recomendado pelo Instituto Nacional de Excelência Clínica do Reino Unido, a atenção plena (ou mindfulness) ajuda a trazer alegria e tranquilidade para sua vida, permitindo que você enfrente seus desafios com uma coragem renovada. Mais do que uma técnica de meditação, este método é um estilo de vida que consiste em estar aberto à experiência presente, observando seus pensamentos sem julgamentos, críticas ou elucubrações. Ao tomar consciência daquilo que sente, você se torna capaz de identificar sentimentos nocivos antes que eles ganhem força e desencadeiem um fluxo de emoções negativas – que é o que faz você se sentir estressado, irritado e frustrado. Este livro apresenta um curso de oito semanas com exercícios e meditações diárias que vão ajudar você a se libertar das pressões cotidianas, a se tornar mais compassivo consigo mesmo e a lidar com as dificuldades de forma mais tranquila e ponderada. Você também terá acesso a um link com oito meditações em áudio enfocando a atenção plena do corpo e da respiração, de sons e pensamentos, entre outras.

Endlich Hilfe bei chronischen Schmerzen! Chronische Schmerzen sind für jeden Betroffenen eine ungeheure Belastung – aber es gibt einen Ausweg. Mit einfachen Achtsamkeitsübungen ist es möglich, Schmerz und den damit verbundenen Stress zu lösen. Denn Meditationen wirken ebenso effektiv wie Schmerzmittel, fördern die Selbstheilungskräfte des Körpers und reduzieren Unruhe, Depressionen und Schlaflosigkeit. Vidyamala Burch wurde selbst nach einer Wirbelsäulenverletzung jahrelang von Schmerzen geplagt; erst mit ihrer eigenen Methode bekam sie sie in den Griff. Nur 10 bis 20 Minuten täglich, 8 Wochen lang – und Stress und Anspannung lassen deutlich nach.

From the coauthor of the bestselling, Mindfulness, a practical and accessible 8-week plan for treating chronic pain that has been proven to be just as effective as prescription medication.

«Bedre helse med mindfulness» er rettet mot mennesker med kroniske lidelser og smerter. Målet er å lindre smerter som forårsaker blant annet følelsesmessig uro og søvnproblemer. Forfatterne presenterer et meditasjonsprogram som går over åtte uker. Programmet består av øvelser på ti til tjue minutter som skal utføres daglig. Målet er ikke å helbrede lidelsen eller smertene, men å gjøre det enklere å takle dem – boken er en praktisk veiledning i smertelindring, stressreduksjon og restitusjon.

WINNER OF BEST BOOK (POPULAR MEDICINE) AT THE BRITISH MEDICAL ASSOCIATION''S BOOK AWARDS 2014 Pain, suffering and stress can be intolerable - but it doesn''t have to be this way. Mindfulness for Health reveals a series of simple practices that you can incorporate into your daily life to relieve chronic pain and the suffering and stress of illness. Clinical trials show that mindfulness meditation can be as effective as prescription painkillers and also enhances the body''s natural healing systems. Mindfulness can also reduce the anxiety, depression, irritability, exhaustion and insomnia that can arise from chronic pain and illness. Mindfulness for Health is based on a unique meditation programme developed by Vidyamala Burch to help her cope with the severe pain of spinal injury. Taught at Breathworks in the UK - and its affiliates around the world - this programme has helped tens of thousands of people cope with pain, illness and stress. Breathworks'' pioneering approach is praised by Professor Mark Williams of Oxford University, Jon Kabat-Zinn and Professor Lance McCracken of King''s College London. The eight-week programme at the heart of this book takes just 10-20 minutes per day. It is particularly effective for the biggest causes of pain - back problems, arthritis, migraine and diabetes but works equally well for cancer (and its associated chemotherapy), heart disease, fibromyalgia, celiac disease, lupus, chronic fatigue syndrome, IBS, labour pain and even tinnitus. You will be surprised by how quickly your suffering melts away, leaving you able to live life to the full again.

Din väg till mindfulness handlar om hur man kan finna ro och tillfredsställelse trots den press och hets som präglar vår tid, eller snarare hur man kan hitta tillbaka till det – för källor till ro och tillfredsställelse finns inom oss alla, hur splittrade och trängda vi än kan känna oss. Författarna har studerat oro, stress och depressioner i över 30 år, vid Oxford University och andra institutioner över hela världen. Det arbetet har avslöjat hemligheten om hur man uppnår varaktig glädje och hur man framgångsrikt kan bekämpa oro, stress, utmattning och även fullt utvecklad depression. Förord av Jon Kabat-Zinn.

Ci sono momenti nella vita che decidono il nostro destino. Si ripercuotono sul futuro e dettano il modo in cui viviamo il mondo negli anni successivi: positivo e edificante, oscuro e caotico, o piatto e monotono. E se potessimo riconoscere questi momenti prima che prendano il controllo della nostra vita? E se potessimo usarli per incamminarci verso un futuro migliore? In Mindfulness profonda, il professor Mark Williams e il dottor Danny Penman, già autori del bestseller Metodo Mindfulness, presentano un nuovo programma di meditazione guidata di otto settimane che combina i più recenti progressi delle neuroscienze con tradizioni sapienziali millenarie. Una via che apre le porte a una pratica di mindfulness che raggiunge un livello più profondo e trasformativo, e che può cambiare in meglio la nostra vita. Queste scoperte ci guidano in uno strato più immersivo della mindfulness, quello del "tono emotivo", che rappresenta il punto di svolta per riequilibrare la nostra serenità interiore e riportare in acque sicure la nostra vita, ormai travolta da un mondo sempre più complicato e caotico, al riparo da ansia, stress e depressione. Mindfulness profonda è un percorso pratico che ci accompagna dolcemente attraverso la bellezza e il disordine della condizione umana e ci insegna come e perché tutto, in fondo, può andare bene.
