Alkuperäisteos Mindfulness for Health on valittu vuoden 2014 parhaaksi kirjaksi British Medical Association -kirjakilpailussa. Mindfulness ja terveys -kirja esittelee yksinkertaisia harjoituksia, joita voi tehdä päivittäin helpottaakseen kroonista kipua, stressiä tai sairauden oireita. Kliiniset testit todistavat, että mindfulness toimii yhtä tehokkaasti kuin kipulääkkeet ja edistää samalla kehon luonnollisia tervehtymismekanismeja. Mindfulness voi vähentää ahdistusta, masennusta, ärtyneisyyttä, uupumusta ja unettomuutta, jotka johtuvat kroonisista sairauksista. Kirja perustuu meditaatio-ohjelmaan, jonka Vidyamala Burch kehitti etsiessään helpotusta vakavaan selkävammaansa. Ohjelma on auttanut kymmeniä tuhansia kivusta, sairauksista ja stressistä kärsiviä ihmisiä Iso-Britanniassa ja muualla maailmassa. Ohjelma on kerännyt ylistäviä lausuntoja Professori Mark Williamsilta Oxford Universitystä, mindfulness-pioneeri Jon Kabat-Zinniltä ja professori Lance McCrac- keniltä Lontoon Kings Collegesta. Kahdeksan viikon ohjelma vie päivittäin vain 10-20 minuuttia. Se on todettu auttavan suurimipien kipuja aiheuttavien sairauksien, kuten selkäongelmien, niveltuleh- dusten, migreenin ja diabeteksen oireita. Menetelmä voi auttaa myös muun muassa syöpähoidoista aiheutuviin kipuihin, sydänsairauksiin, krooniseen väsymykseen ja jopa tinnitukseen. Menetelmän tarkoituksena on kannustaa oireista kärsiviä rakastamaan elämäänsä ja nauttimaan siitä jälleen. Danny Penmanilta on ilmestynyt yhdessä Mark Williamsin kanssa Tietoinen läsnäolo -löydä rauha kiireen keskellä (Basam Books 5. painos 2015). Burchilta on aikaisemmin ilmestynyt Mielekkäästi irti kivusta ja sairaudesta (Basam Books 2012).

Developed by two authors, Vidyamala Burch and Danny Penman who themselves have struggled with severe pain after sustaining serious injuries, You Are Not Your Pain reveals a simple eight-week program of mindfulness-based practices that will melt away your suffering. The eight meditations in this book take just ten to twenty minutes per day and have been shown to be as effective as prescription painkillers to soothe some of the most common causes of pain. These mindfulness-based practices soothe the brain's pain networks, while also significantly reducing the anxiety, stress, exhaustion, irritability, and depression that often accompanies chronic pain and illness. Whether you experience back pain, arthritis, or migraines, are suffering from fibromyalgia, celiac disease, or undergoing chemotherapy, you will quickly learn to manage your pain and live life fully once again.

After suffering a severe spinal cord injury, author Vidyamala Burch had to face a daily life of chronic illness on her own. Instead of letting her life slowly unravel, she decided to address her physical challenges with acceptance, compassion, and love. In Vivir bien con el dolor y la enfermedad, Burch gives us the benefits of her courage, showing that the practice of mindfulness can help us face all kinds of health challenges. Based on her experience teaching meditation, she offers instruction and wisdom needed to achieve the five-step model of mindfulness and how to use it to foster healing. This book is both a practical handbook and an inspiring story for those suffering from chronic pain or illness.

WINNER OF BEST BOOK (POPULAR MEDICINE) AT THE BRITISH MEDICAL ASSOCIATION'S BOOK AWARDS 2014Pain, suffering and stress can be intolerable - but it doesn't have to be this way. Mindfulness for Health reveals a series of simple practices that you can incorporate into your daily life to relieve chronic pain and the suffering and stress of illness. Clinical trials show that mindfulness meditation can be as effective as prescription painkillers and also enhances the body's natural healing systems. Mindfulness can also reduce the anxiety, depression, irritability, exhaustion and insomnia that can arise from chronic pain and illness. Mindfulness for Health is based on a unique meditation programme developed by Vidyamala Burch to help her cope with the severe pain of spinal injury. Taught at Breathworks in the UK - and its affiliates around the world - this programme has helped tens of thousands of people cope with pain, illness and stress. Breathworks' pioneering approach is praised by Professor Mark Williams of Oxford University, Jon Kabat-Zinn and Professor Lance McCracken of King's College London. The eight-week programme at the heart of this book takes just 10-20 minutes per day. It is particularly effective for the biggest causes of pain - back problems, arthritis, migraine and diabetes but works equally well for cancer (and its associated chemotherapy), heart disease, fibromyalgia, celiac disease, lupus, chronic fatigue syndrome, IBS, labour pain and even tinnitus. You will be surprised by how quickly your suffering melts away, leaving you able to live life to the full again.

Et godt liv med smerte, sygdom og stress – hvordan det? Bogen her er en inspirerende og praktisk vejledning i, hvordan vi kan lære at acceptere og imødegå både fysiske og psykiske problemer. Ved hjælp af opmærksomt nærvær, forskellige former for meditationspraksis samt mindfulness i dagligdagen kan vi lære at få styr på vores krop, følelser og lidelser – frem for at lade smerter, stress og angst styre rundt med os i en negativ spiral. At det er gavnligt at praktisere mindfulness og meditation i forbindelse med sygdom og stress er i dag et anerkendt faktum – takket være Jon Kabat-Zinn og andre pionerer inden for det felt, hvor disse traditionelle metoder tages i anvendelse. Vidyamala Burch videreudvikler deres metoder og tilpasser dem, så de kan anvendes af alle, også mennesker, der lever med smerter og andre udfordringer. Hun trækker på sine egne erfaringer, både de dyrekøbte og smertefulde, og de lindrende og livsbekræftende. Breathworks-programmet og øvelsesskemaerne fører os skridt for skridt frem mod det mål at kunne rumme vores livssituation på en måde, så tilværelsen ikke indskrænkes unødigt, og livsglæden ikke udtørres. Ved at planlægge, prioritere og dosere kan vi forenkle vores liv og mindske hverdagspresset. Bogen indeholder en cd med guidede mindfulness- og meditationsøvelser, brug den til at understøtte din praksis.
