[+] [-] 084875 - The Heart of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction
"Lovely emerges as an apt description of this MBSR guidebook written by my dear friend and colleague, Elana Rosenbaum. At heart, Elana is a student - infectiously curious, enduringly fscinated and constantly learning. Together, these qualities make her an exceptional teacher. She is soft, warm and openhearted ... and she is fiercely and uncompromisingly alive! Thriving for more than twenty-two years since being diagnosed with cancer and facing multiple reoccurences, Elana is an embodiment of life itself. Dear reader, be prepared: Entering into this book, you'll catch the fragrance of this fierce, warmhearted aliveness, discovering it as none other than you. L'chaim!"
Saki F Santorelli, EdD, MAProfessor of Medicine, Director, MBSR Clinic, Executive Director, Center for Mindfulness in Medicine, Health Care, and Society, University of Massachusetts Medical School

"This definitive workbook does more than just offer readers an opportunity for their own personal experience of MBSR. From her unique vantage point spanning all the way back to the early days of MBSR, Elana provides a precious window into the wisdom and warmth that continues to bring MBSR to life today. Elana's intuitive presence, playfulness, and heartfulness inspired a generation of MBSR teachers, teaching us all the healing power that arises from bringing kind awareness to our present moment experience. By distilling the core concepts of MBSR within this workbook, Elana not only gives us access to the heart of MBSR; she also shows us a path to open our own."
