I’ve read it a couple of times, it’s a good book it goes into detail about how to practice mindfulness meditation. The problem I have is that I’m unable to do the meditation because I can’t focus due to constant intrusive thoughts. But maybe you’ll have more luck with it than I had.
I read it about 5 years ago. I thought it was a great book and very well written. I wish I could do more meditation. I find it very difficult but when I did do it I found it helpful and relaxing.
I never really had a negative experience while trying to meditate. Only that sometimes I could not get into the grove. Other times I could and it was very good. I’ve also tried walking meditations and guided meditations on cd. When I had bad back pain they were very helpful.
