Connecting with your mind and body are the first steps to greater insight. In order to access universal wisdom and a more alert state of mind - you must first master yourself. This meditation is all about helping you become more mindful and aware of your own existence and the world around you. It is designed to deepen your understanding and your appreciation of the present moment, allowing you to transcend the physical realm as you reach more insightful perspectives.

This book shows how we can move beyond secular mindfulness and compassion techniques to the cultivation of insight - seeing into and thereby becoming free of the repetitive thinking that keeps us trapped in cycles of suffering. Most books in the secular mindfulness tradition stop with mindfulness and self-compassion but do little to uncover the root causes of our suffering. Drawing on both Buddhist analyses of mind and current findings in psychology and neuroscience, the book explains how our thinking becomes fixed through our engaging with unconscious preferences and reactions.
