Falling Awake describes various ways to cultivate mindfulness as a formal meditation practice and as a way of being. You could think of it as the how of mindfulness, what it takes to cultivate it in your own life in ways that might be deeply satisfying, meaningful, and ultimately, liberating; or put differently, to engage in the practice as a love affair with what might be most important to you. It includes instructions for both literally and metaphorically tapping into your sensory experience in both formal practice and in everyday living. It provides detailed instructions and guidance in the body scan (lying down meditation), sitting meditations, standing meditations, gentle mindful hatha yoga, and walking meditation. It also describes how to utilize all your sense doors to take up residency in awareness, moment by moment by moment, fully embodied, and paradoxically, outside of time – not only during formal meditation practice but in everyday living, which, when all is said and done, is the real meditation practice.
