Mindfulness and Meditation Options

featuring equine-guided mindfulness meditation

by Dr Margaretha Montagu

“Mindfulness is the aware, balanced acceptance of the present experience. It isn’t more complicated than that. It is opening to or receiving the present moment, pleasant or unpleasant, just as it is, without either clinging to it or rejecting it.” Sylvia Boorstein

  Mindfulness and Meditation Options is the accompanying workbook of the Mindfulness and Meditation Retreats that I host here in the south of France. It is different from other books about mindfulness and meditation in five unique ways: Why read a book about Mindfulness and Meditation? Because mindfulness

  • enables you to deal with distractions more effectively so that you can concentrate easily and increase your productivity both at home and at work
  • makes you more creative and so that you can solve problems faster as it helps you to let go of doubts that might otherwise block your creativity
  • helps you to sleep better at night so that you are not tired all the time and can get a lot more done during the day.
  • enhances your mental agility and alertness, increases cognitive recall and protects you from memory loss as you get older
  • gives you time to think before you act, making it easier to control your anger and listen more effectively so that you get on better with family, friends and colleagues
  • dramatically lowers your stress levels so that you can cope effectively with the challenges that come your way. It also makes you physically and mentally healthier and more resilient while helping you avoid the damage stress can do to our minds and bodies
  • makes you more compassionate towards others and towards yourself so that you can accept yourself, forgive yourself and love yourself just as you are

In short, mindfulness and meditation can make your life much easier.
