Mindfulness in Motion is a major new approach to managing stress, anxiety and depression and gaining unprecedented self-awareness through body-centred mindfulness. Drawing on the techniques used in Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction and Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy, the latest research in neuroanatomy and Eastern martial arts traditions, Dr Tamara Russell has created a unique practice to help you cope more effectively with the most challenging emotions and feelings. Dr Russell has used these techniques effectively in a clinical setting with sufferers of manic depression as well as in corporate settings with managers experiencing a high degree of stress and with elite athletes looking to integrate seamlessly body and mind. Because her approach is grounded in the body Dr Russell has found it effective for people who find a traditional ?sitting still? meditation approach very difficult.
Chapter by chapter, the book explores how we can slow down, engage in the present moment, train our attention, understand ourselves and be truly at ease. Each chapter is full of diagrams, thought-provoking and informative illustrations (such as time-lapse photography and brain neuroimaging) and simple exercises and breathing techniques that anyone can perform. Many of the exercises (such as ?mindful walking? or the ?day of pausing?) can be fitted into your daily routine; others, such as ?mindful backward swimming?, offer a fresh and intriguing approach to the concept of exercise. For the first time, brain neuroimaging is used to prove the beneficial effects of physical and mental exercise. This ground-breaking book makes accessible to everyone the healing power of meditative practices supported by the latest scientific evidence.
Dr. Russell works with individuals and organizations advising on how to use mindfulness techniques to optimize performance and improve mental and physical well-being. She is the Director of the (currently virtual) Mindfulness Centre of Excellence in London, which has as its aim the evoluation of creative yet authentic mindfulness applications for all spheres of life. Combining her clinical, neuroscience and martial arts training, Dr. Russell's approach engages both body and mind, for a total solution to manage the stressors of our modern working environment. The training is delivered via workshops and longer periods of training and can be conducted in groups or for individuals. Dr. Russell specializes in delivering mindfulness training in the health sector, running introductory workshops for mental health workers and other health professionals and more specialized courses for those working with eating disorders, learning difficulties and severe and enduring mental illness. The author lives in UK.
