<p>Maintaining a state of well-being and equanimity in the midst of serious disease is a challenge, but mindfulness can help make it possible. It is a process of bringing a fierce but loving attention to<i> everything</i> that arises in our mind and body. The simple techniques Elana Rosenbaum presents here are the same ones she uses with the people in her practice of mindfulness-based psychotherapy and stress reduction—and that she uses herself as a cancer survivor. These are methods that offer proof positive that it is indeed possible not only to “have a life” while you're seriously ill, but that the life can include satisfaction, ease, and happiness.</p><p>This book includes a downloadable companion 60-minute audio program with seven simple mindfulness practices.</p>
