About the book
The course Jack Kornfield created teaches insight meditation, also called vipassana, a traditional skill for calming the spirit and clearing the mind. Kornfield lays out a plain, step-by-step method for starting a daily practice and sticking with it. The meditations in the course use the breath, physical sensations and even difficult emotions to cultivate tranquility and lovingkindness in ordinary life. Four classic mindfulness exercises also work with posture, attention and forgiveness. He presents the practices as easy to learn and as groundwork for long-term inner discovery. The course is intended for beginners.
Executive coach Catherine Plano, who meditates for half an hour every morning, named it in an interview about why routine matters.

Catherine Plano (Executive Coach)
Every morning I get up at 5am to meditate for half an hour - I like to listen to binaural beats to allow my brain to go into Theta because when you go into a deep meditation, your brain releases the good feel hormones like serotonin, dopamine and endorphins that make you feel happy. I started meditating a very long time ago, over 20 years ago through my studies in Metaphysics. I also invested many years of my life studying and practicing Buddhism where I invested a lot of time in Ashrams where we practiced meditation daily. Gosh... I could go on about meditation. I wrote a whole section in my book - Getting to the Heart of the Matter. A meditation book that I would recommend is - Meditation for Beginners by Jack Kornfield.
