As someone who is more or less in the field and uses the mindfulness technique in their work, I was super interested in this book.
I found the ebook copy to not be the best for me at least but I still tried my best to go through the book. The exercises were good, but personally I think this written exercise/practice method isn’t for me. I would rather have a video or an audiotape to go through whilst going through the steps.
If we forget about my personal preferences, I think the book was good and very thoroughly research and as someone working in the academic field I was super happy to see the references used in the book.

While Mindfulness in Motion isn’t a joy to read, it sure saved me money on therapy bills. The author of this book employees something used in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy: mindfulness. In my lifetime of therapy it’s never seemed as appealing as it does now; I get to move. I’ve always had issues sitting down and meditating but Mindfulness in Motion gets you going.

Much like Tai Chi and QiGong, Mindfulness in motion employees breathwork and movement, but this is more specialized to your emotions and your mind as well as your body. The former two practices don’t cover emotions, just breathwork and awareness. In fact, Mindfulness in Motion also tackles attention, something that I, as an ADDer, have a huge problem with. I want so desperately to be able to focus, keep my attention on my work, and regulate my mood. I’ve been told both to meditate and to be mindful of everything that I do, I just haven’t been doing that.

Mindfulness in Motion gave me a way to practice mindfulness, while engaging my mind, body, and bringing awareness to my breath. Would I buy this book for a friend? Absolutely, and, in fact, I think I will

Mindfulness is one of those new buzzwords that seems to be everywhere at the moment. Whether it's mindfulness is the workplace, NHS-recommended mindfulness or Ruby Wax getting her Masters in the subject, this is the trend of the moment. However, we often associate things like mindfulness and meditation with sitting cross-legged on the floor for hours chanting mantras.

Mindfulness in Motion introduces the interesting concept of using the still widely misunderstood concept in wider areas of our daily lives, such as when walking. On a personal note, this was particularly useful for me as my mind often goes off in various directions when I'm walking or running.

A well-structured book, broken down into bite-sized chunks with plenty of practical applications, Mindfulness in Motion skillfully balances theory with practice. If you want mindfulness to become a part of everyday life, instead of just a practice for ten minutes a day, then this book will set you on the right track and help you discover the world around you.
