Attention Strategies is a unique work even within the expansive field of mind-body self-development. It does not demand years of sitting and waiting, storytelling and processing; this book will guide you to the inner landmarks you can use to move forward now. As you deepen into awareness you will encounter a world of sensations that you feel inside yourself in the same way you can feel the bottom of your feet when you bring your attention to them. Attention Strategies shows you how to use these sensations as an inner map for directly managing your inner states. Whether you want to quiet and focus your mind, connect more authentically with others, live more deeply in yourself, or cultivate your personal presence, learning to use this different kind of knowing will lead you toward a more peaceful and flexible mind.
