I have had PTSD for many years now and this book has been great in opening up new ways to meditate and get myself out of the mindset and focused on something new.

I am not a too experienced maditator. I attribute to my inexperience the difficulties in applying this book to my situation.

This was an interesting introduction to mindfulness, the in thing at the moment.
It approaches healing in five steps: the basics, value daily activities, nurture compassion, cultivate inner peace and find yourself again. In this manner treating you gently and with compassion, which seems to be one of the important ideas behind mindfulness.
I enjoyed the book and even if you only read the FAQs at the end this book has important messages for those who practice mindfulness.

I've struggled with PTSD most of my life. I do meditate when I get very stressed, but it's never seemed to help with my PTSD. This taught me new ways to use meditation, and I have to say it's helped me accept some of my past and reduce the issues my PTSD causes.

Very enjoyable book, with wonderful practical information, to develop mental balance, peace, compassion, suitable for anyone!
This book has made a very good impression on me, it is written very fluently and interweaves the relevant information very clearly and to the point, all balanced and focused manner. It is very well structured, it gives the background and the necessary fundamentals to understand what is Mindfuness, the scientific evidences of its benefits, therapeutic examples of real cases, 4 practice chapters and a valuable FAQs chapter! Throughout the book you can perceive the extensive experience of Louanne Davis, which is a guarantee of the content’s quality of this book.
Many people have experienced traumatic situations of some sort, or experiences that have left a strong emotional impact on our lives and that has upset them to some extent. The wonderful news is that this book is a tangible proof that if this technique works in cases like the PSD, the benefits it can provide to anyone are great, so I invite all people to read it.
Highly recommended for anyone who wants to optimally connect their mind-body and heart, balance their mind, establish a deeper connection with peace and happiness that are natural to the Self, to develop acceptance and self-love, towards all their closer relationships, more impersonal, with nature, life itself! When I have practiced mindfulness in daily life in a task as simple as rinsing dishes or walking, the sensations that invade me are of being very present, of feeling very lively and lucid that causes a generalized sensation of happiness, that everything is well as it is!
My gratitude to the Publisher and NetGalley for allowing me to review the book
