(HealthNewsDigest.com) – The “Mindfulness Revolution” is here. These days everyone is meditating or learning mindfulness practices, from publishing moguls like Rupert Murdoch to the Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks to entertainment stars like Goldie Hawn and Ellen Degeneres.
How has something once considered to be countercultural and eccentric suddenly become so mainstream? Meditation and mindfulness are now part of the American culture, counterbalancing the stress and anxiety brought on by our jobs, our finances, our relationships, and any other number of factors.
Taught in our classrooms and workplaces, in the military and in hospitals, promoted in Congress and major media outlets, mindfulness and meditation offer a path to better health, productivity, creativity, and physical and mental health. The Dalai Lama puts it simply: The goal of life is to be happy. The more focused and present you are, the happier and less stressed you can be.
In this newly expanded edition of the bestselling 8 MINUTE MEDITATION (Perigee Paperback; ISBN-13: 978-0-399-17342-4; $15.00; On Sale December 2) by Victor Davich, readers quickly learn that mindful meditation is not just for celebrities, CEOs, and professional athletes. Nor does it have to be complicated or demanding. Meditation is accessible and, when properly done, is an incredible and effective tool that anyone can master for a better life, in only eight minutes a day. Featuring the original, revolutionary eight minute-a-day program Time magazine called “the most American form of meditation yet,” with a new introduction that aligns the concepts of mindfulness and meditation more closely together, readers can develop a powerful mindfulness practice that can last a lifetime.
