Find Your Light: Practicing Mindfulness To Recover From Anything

This slim little book packs a punch. Barbara Conyers takes you on the journey of self discovery of what it means to practice mindfulness in your life. She saddles up the 12-steps along side going through what mindfulness is and isn’t. Ms. Conyers gives helpful exercises throughout the book to help you explore what being actively mindful is like. She also, shows how addiction plays a role in our lives and how being mindful of what addictions we have and how to confront them is vital.

Having read other books on mindfulness it’s great to see the exercise of deep breathing suggested. When I was sick a year or so ago, I would get anxious, but focusing on breathing deep helped calm me down. One exercise I need to incorporate into my life more is just sitting with my thoughts and emotions; knowing they will flow accordingly. They aren’t permanent, though my body thinks so because it goes into flight or fight mode. If you need a short book on my mindfulness then I do recommend this book.

I received my complimentary copy of Find Your Light: Practicing Mindfulness to Recover from Anything by Barbara Conyers from Hazelden Publishing, care of Smith Publicity. The views are of my own will and are mine.
