How do we find more purpose in our lives as we navigate the uncertainty of daily living? You’ve probably heard meditation is ‘good for you’ or perhaps you’ve tried it but didn’t feel you were good at it or doing it quite right. If so, this book is for you. You can cultivate more clarity, confidence and purpose in your life by learning how to meditate. Within these pages, Dr. Dent Gitchel shares his Wholesome Mindfulness approach to meditation, including downloadable practices, developed over decades of practicing meditation and assisting others in mindfulness and compassion-based contemplative practices.
In his debut book, you’ll learn how to:
●Begin simple mindfulness and compassion-based meditation practices to deepen your relationship with yourself and others
●Come home to your inner core values and live your life with meaning and purpose
●Develop your courageous self to meet life’s challenges with resilience and strength
●Integrate mindfulness into your daily activities to stay calm, moment to moment
●Engage practical skills promoting wholeness and well-being to carry with you throughout your life
“This is a well-crafted, gentle, and honest sharing of Dent Gitchel’s spiritual journey to discovering his core values and what is most life giving for him. He invites us to follow our own heart’s deepest longings and to embark on our personal spiritual journey. His hope is that we too can find that space within that is home to our true selves. Dent does not sugarcoat the doubts or other obstacles to be found on this path. But, like the Buddha, he wants to alleviate suffering where it exists, invites us to come and see, and try for ourselves what he has found to be true. This first book for author Dent Gitchel garners well-deserved kudos.”
—Sharon Salzberg, Author of Lovingkindness and Real Change
“Dent Gitchel has written a heartfelt, personal and extremely useful guide to meditation which helps to bridge the gap between ancient wisdom and modern experience.”
—Ethan Nichtern, Author, Buddhist Teacher
"I love the power and clarity of this book. Based on 30 years as a practitioner, professional and expert, Dent distinguishes Wholesome Mindfulness as a powerful new path that you can trust. With precision and wisdom Dent walks with you step by step through 'coming home to your place in the world and taking the lead in your life'. Along the way Dent generously shares from his heart and to yours. The result is the curiosity, courage and confidence to engage in the messiness of life and the word in new, wiser and more resilient ways. This book is recommended for anyone enduring the crises of modern life and looking for lasting relief."
—Monica Hanson, Founding Faculty of Stanford’s Compassion Cultivation Training and Co-Founder and Director of the Applied Compassion Training (ACT) and Academy hosted by the Center for Compassion at Stanford University
"The warm and gentle wisdom of Wholesome Mindfulness reminds me not only why to live a life of purpose, but it gives hands-on approaches for how to get there. Through story-telling, journaling exercises, meditation, and real-world practices, this book helps me tap into my inner goodness and be a more courageous, conscious, compassionate, and values-driven human. This is a perfect book for seekers, whether experienced in meditation or not."
—Sara Schairer, Founder of Compassion It©
