I recently read one of the best Buddhist meditation books I’ve ever come across.
The book is The Mind Illuminated.
The author of this book, John Yates, aka Culadassa, has a Ph.D. in neuroscience and over 50,000 hours of meditation practice in the bank.
It’s the kind of book that exudes expertise on every page.
In the appendix of TMI, Culadassa shares a technique called “The Daily Mindful Review,” which is the best method he has ever discovered for increasing mindfulness in daily life.
I went ahead and adapted this to add Stoic elements, and the result is what I consider to be the most powerful guided reflection I’ve ever created.
Do this daily, and you will be astounded about the changes you make in the next 30 days.
Those changes will include:
- More mindfulness
- Less heaviness
- Better decisions
- Drastically better relationships
- Improved habits
- More compassion
- And the list goes on…
