Path Of Relaxation

The Path of Relaxation gradually evolved into The Mindfulness Process. I intend to go back and republish The Path of Relaxation after some work, refocused more on relaxation in Buddhism.

Relaxation or mindfulness individually, are only one side of the story.

There is a key principle of reducing unnecessary effort. It combines with the four foundations of mindfulness. This becomes the single meditative process of ‘mindfulness relaxation’, a new perspective on the traditional buddhist path of satipatthana.

Discover: the gears and orders of relaxation; why meditation improves our health; the importance of enjoyment and what tension or trauma may mean for meditation. Mindfulness Relaxation offers a buddhism and qigong informed model of relaxation for the first time, and reveals a radical new understanding of both mindfulness and relaxation.
