(Shows you how to use Aerobic Exercise as a form of Medita...)
Shows you how to use Aerobic Exercise as a form of Meditation. Written especially for runners, it applies to all rhythmic sports. Meditators who believe that sitting still on a pillow is necessary to develop the mind will enjoy this new approach. People who haven't done much of either will find this an engaging introduction to both activities. A way to "cross train your brain." Green's language is clear and simple, demonstrating directly what awareness is and how it differs from "thinking." She shows how to train your mind to stick to the moment - much as you train your muscles. You will discover how doing it in motion enhances awareness and adds a deeper sense of purpose to your workouts. You'll enjoy this engaging little book whether you are a seasoned athlete or an ex-couch potato just beginning to get fit. Having a better physique, faster times, and better muscles just aren't enough any more. A runner, a biker, or someone who works out at a health club, it is likely that you are also interested in understanding more about how your mind works, and in the spiritual question: "Is this all there is?"
