Unfuck Your Mindfulness Meditation

“All therapy is at some level about mindfulness,” writes Dr. Faith. She offers encouragement here to make a regular time to slow down and take a close look at exactly what is happening in your body and mind, so that you can gain better understanding and healing. She disambiguates  the often-interchangeably-used terms mindfulness and meditation, offers exercises for each practice, and some that combine both. She approaches what is scientifically happening in our brains when we do these things, so that we may better understand what the hell is going on.

There are nine different exercises, with descriptions of how to do them, and what situations they might be especially effective for. Some of the exercises come from her Buddhist practice, but all are presented in a non-religious manner and with accommodations for various needs.
