Twenty-fivehundred years ago, the Buddha discovered that practices of mindfully observing our feelings and emotions can help us gain some distancefrom them. In How to Feel, Maria Heim provides new translations of essential early Buddhist teachings on mindfulness meditation and connects them to recent findings in psychology and neuroscience. A superb meditation manual and insightful exploration of psychology, the book also provides a brief introduction to Buddhism and features the original Pali-language texts on facing pages. Drawing from the Samyutta Nikaya, an early canonical collection, How to Feel introduces Buddhist practices of mindfulness. Using them, we can watch feelings come and go like winds passing through the sky. We can observe what causes our negative emotions and learn to shift our attention to other things. We can see where emotions lead us and learn to redirect them. We will still feel, but, with practice, emotions will have less control over us. Just as they did in ancient India, the teachings inHow to Feel offer today's readers radically new and more enlightened ways to experience emotions."--c| Front jacket flap.;

Abstract	"A new translation of the Buddha's teachings on mindfulness -- and how it can help us to be less controlled by our emotions. To feel is to suffer. But do we have to suffer as much as we do? Twenty-fivehundred years ago, the Buddha discovered that practices of mindfully observing our feelings and emotions can help us gain some distancefrom them. In How to Feel, Maria Heim provides new translations of essential early Buddhist teachings on mindfulness meditation and connects them to recent findings in psychology and neuroscience. A superb meditation manual and insightful exploration of psychology, the book also provides a brief introduction to Buddhism and features the original Pali-language texts on facing pages. Drawing from the Samyutta Nikaya, an early canonical collection, How to Feel introduces Buddhist practices of mindfulness. Using them, we can watch feelings come and go like winds passing through the sky. We can observe what causes our negative emotions and learn to shift our attention to other things. We can see where emotions lead us and learn to redirect them. We will still feel, but, with practice, emotions will have less control over us. Just as they did in ancient India, the teachings inHow to Feel offer today's readers radically new and more enlightened ways to experience emotions."-- Front jacket flap.
