In the first part of the book we are keen to:

• Introduce you to mindfulness, its origins and uses.
• Explain what mindfulness is and isn’t all about.
• Help you understand why and how mindfulness can be relevant and helpful in these stressful and busy, modern times.
• Show you how you don’t need to change what you do in your life to practise or benefit from mindfulness.
• Show you how to start practising mindfulness.
