Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The energy of mindfulness is the salve that will recognize and heal the child within. To cultivate this energy, we must be mindful as we go about our daily lives, and be present with what we are doing.

#2 When we notice a seed of anger arise, we can touch the seed of mindfulness and invite it to come up too. Mindfulness is always mindfulness of something. When we breathe mindfully, that is mindfulness of breathing. When we walk mindfully, that is mindfulness of walking.

#3 We can use massage to help the blood circulation in our body. When the blood doesn’t circulate well, our organs can’t function properly, and we get sick. When our psyche doesn’t circulate well, our mind will become sick.

#4 We try to block our painful thoughts from arising by filling our living room with other guests. We call a friend, pick up a book, or turn on the television to keep our minds occupied. But all mental formations need to circulate. If we don’t let them come up, it creates bad circulation in our psyche, and symptoms of mental illness and depression begin to manifest.
