Description
What does it mean to actually inhabit our lives? When we choose to be present in these very lives that we have, we truly are acting courageously. Developing an ongoing willingness to embrace self-acceptance is a profound place of practice. When we cultivate both mindfulness and stillness in our lives, we can discover a place of peace--a light in the mind.

Praise for A Light in the Mind: Living Your Life Just as It Is…
A Light in the Mind is wonderful. Its clear, down-to-earth approach makes the book easy to read and understandable. Chapter 12 says it all. It speaks of home, of coming home to the essence of practice, to turning on a light in the mind. Carolyn Atkinson writes beautifully about the essence of practice. --Sue Dirksen
This book is clear, simple, kind, and tough-minded--all at once. In each of the twelve chapters, Carolyn Atkinson shows us how to find the courage to face our lives, just as they are. This beautifully written book is a wonderful tool for self-acceptance, something which, as her teacher Kobun Chino Otogawa said, "is the hardest thing to do." An outstanding book in every respect! --Ryuchi Daicixin
