The Mindfulness-Based Emotional Balance Workbook
Experiencing emotions is a part of the richness of life. But sometimes emotions can get in the way of our health and happiness. Suppressing strong feelings like fear, anger, and resentment isn’t the answer—in fact, doing so can lead to a host of physical problems, from a weakened immune system to heart disease. On the other hand, overreacting in the heat of the moment can be detrimental to relationships. So, how can you ride even the strongest waves of emotion without causing harm to yourself or others? This workbook offers a breakthrough, eight-week program using emotion theory and mindfulness-based techniques to help you manage the overwhelming thoughts and feelings that cause you pain. You’ll learn to approach your emotions without judgment, understand their source, and foster forgiveness and kindness toward both yourself and others. Instead of trying to bury feelings or lashing out and hurting relationships, you'll learn how to cultivate emotional balance using this powerful program.
Compassionate Communities
Compassionate communities are communities that provide assistance for those in need of end of life care, separate from any official heath service provision that may already be available within the community. This idea was developed in 2005 in Allan Kellehear’s seminal volume- Compassionate Cities: Public Health and End of Life Care. In the ensuing ten years the theoretical aspects of the idea have been continually explored, primarily rehearsing academic concerns rather than practical ones. Compassionate Communities: Case Studies from Britain and Europe provides the first major volume describing and examining compassionate community experiments in end of life care from a highly practical pe...
The Power of Compassion
Compassion is associated with feelings, emotions, expressions of care and comfort, derived from a place of love and relationship. However, as The Power of Compassion demonstrates, compassion is indeed based out of a position of power; a personal resource and strength to sustain people in complex and difficult times in their lives but also a concept which is meaningful at an organisational level and to society at large. Compassion has a growing scientific basis, notably within psychology and neuroscience but its application is increasingly evident across a range of health and social care systems. This book brings together the wisdom of compassionate science through the exposition of work by i...
Compassion Focused Therapy
Research into the beneficial effect of developing compassion has advanced enormously in the last ten years, with the development of inner compassion being an important therapeutic focus and goal. This book explains how Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) – a process of developing compassion for the self and others to increase well-being and aid recovery – varies from other forms of Cognitive Behaviour Therapy. Comprising 30 key points this book explores the founding principles of CFT and outlines the detailed aspects of compassion in the CFT approach. Divided into two parts – Theory and Compassion Practice – this concise book provides a clear guide to the distinctive characteristics of CFT. Compassion Focused Therapy will be a valuable source for students and professionals in training as well as practising therapists who want to learn more about the distinctive features of CFT.
Resilience
Whether it’s a critical comment from the boss or a full-blown catastrophe, life continually dishes out challenges. Resilience is the learned capacity to cope with any level of adversity, from the small annoyances of daily life to the struggles and sorrows that break our hearts. Resilience is essential for surviving and thriving in a world full of troubles and tragedies, and it is completely trainable and recoverable — when we know how. In Resilience, Linda Graham offers clear guidance to help you develop somatic, emotional, relational, and reflective intelligence — the skills you need to confidently and effectively cope with life’s inevitable challenges and crises.
Raising Good Humans

In Raising Good Humans, you’ll find powerful and practical strategies to break free from “reactive parenting” habits and raise kind, cooperative, and confident kids. Whether you’re running late for school, trying to get your child to eat their vegetables, or dealing with an epic meltdown in the checkout line at a grocery store—being a parent is hard work! And, as parents, many of us react in times of stress without thinking—often by yelling. But what if, instead of always reacting on autopilot, you could resp...
Mindfulness Meditation in Psychotherapy
Embodying mindfulness allows both therapists and clients to make the most of treatment sessions. More than just a guide to techniques and benefits, this book provides a comprehensive understanding of mindfulness meditation, and shows how to effectively incorporate mindfulness into every aspect of the therapeutic process. Mindfulness isn’t simply a therapeutic tool that can be used at a specific time. If you’re a psychotherapist interested in implementing mindfulness practices into your therapy sessions, you must first embody a mindful presence yourself. In Mindfulness Meditation in Psychotherapy, psychotherapist Steven Alper presents the mindfulness pyramid model, an easy-to-use referenc...
Politics of Being
"A profound, insightful, extensively researched, sensitive and much needed essay which provides a precious roadmap for traveling together towards a better world" – Mathieu Ricard What would a wisdom-based or “spiritual” approach to politics look like? How can we tap into science to support our collective conscious evolution? In this groundbreaking work, Thomas Legrand Ph.D. proposes to fundamentally reframe our model of development from its current emphasis on “having” to one focused on “being”. Mobilizing a wealth of scientific research from many different fields, the core teachings of wisdom traditions, and his own personal experience, Legrand articulates how politics can sup...
Mindfulness y compasión en la relación de ayuda
El libro que tiene entre sus manos nace de la formación desarrollada en la Universidad de Lleida en los cursos de Postgrado sobre mindfulness. El lector podrá encontrar las aportaciones teóricas que sustentan y demuestran el valor del mindfulness y la compasión desde diferentes perspectivas. Podrá además encontrar los fundamentos de las diferentes prácticas. Unas prácticas que son sencillas pero exigen constancia, apertura y una mirada renovada, capaz de redescubrir la verdadera dimensión de lo cotidiano, de uno mismo, de las personas que nos rodean, de la naturaleza, etc. Además, ofrecemos un recorrido por las posibles aplicaciones del mindfulness y la compasión en algunos ámbitos de la relación de ayuda: educación, trabajo social, psicología y ámbito sanitario. Este no es un libro de autoayuda ni un tratado sobre mindfulness, quiere ser una tarjeta de presentación del mindfulness para aquellas personas que no lo conocen en profundidad y que se preguntan por su utilidad personal o profesional.
CORAZÓN CÁLIDO, MENTE SERENA
Partiendo de un esbozo general sobre mindfulness —incluyendo los desafíos y obstáculos a una vida plena— y sobre los fundamentos centrales de las enseñanzas de Buda (las cuatro nobles verdades y el noble óctuple sendero), Corazón cálido, mente serena profundiza en cada uno de los cuatro inconmensurables estados de la mente, los cuales constituyen una de las principales aportaciones del budismo a la psicología.
Estos son: la ecuanimidad, entendida como la habilidad de tomar perspectiva, desde la serenidad y desarrollando una actitud de no discriminación; el amor —hacia los demás y hacia nosotros mismos—, como una disposición de aprecio y valoración fundamen...
