Connection to self and God

Beschreibung

Does mindfulness improve our wellbeing? Can it be practised within a Christian worldview? Can it be Christ-Centred? Yes. In the award-winning 'Christ-Centred Mindfulness', leading academic and experienced mental health worker Dr Katherine Thompson addresses these questions and draws on the rich Christian tradition to present Christian mindfulness exercises that help us slow down, connect to what is happening inside ourselves and make space to listen for God's guidance in everyday life. Whether you're a Christian who is curious about mindfulness practice and its benefits, or you work in a counselling profession and are trying to sort through your own approach to mindfulness-based therapies, this book is for you.
