{"product_id":"living-zen-remindfully-retraining-subconscious-awareness","title":"Living Zen Remindfully Retraining Subconscious Awareness","description":"\u003cp\u003ehis is a book for readers who want to probe more deeply into \u003cbr\u003e\nmindfulness. It goes beyond the casual, once-in-awhile meditation in \u003cbr\u003e\npopular culture, grounding mindfulness in daily practice, Zen teachings,\u003cbr\u003e\n and recent research in neuroscience. In  Living Zen Remindfully, James \u003cbr\u003e\nAustin, author of the groundbreaking  Zen and the Brain, describes \u003cbr\u003e\nauthentic Zen training -- the commitment to a process of regular, \u003cbr\u003e\nongoing  daily life practice. This training process enables us to \u003cbr\u003e\nunlearn unfruitful habits, develop more wholesome ones, and lead a more \u003cbr\u003e\ngenuinely creative life.  Austin shows that mindfulness can mean more \u003cbr\u003e\nthan our being conscious of the immediate \"now.\" It can extend into the \u003cbr\u003e\nsubconscious, where most of our brain's activities take place, \u003cbr\u003e\ninvisibly. Austin suggests ways that long-term meditative training helps\u003cbr\u003e\n cultivate the hidden, affirmative resource of our unconscious memory.  \u003cbr\u003e\nRemindfulness, as Austin terms it, can help us to adapt more effectively\u003cbr\u003e\n and to live more authentic lives.  Austin discusses different types of \u003cbr\u003e\nmeditation, meditation and problem-solving, and the meaning of \u003cbr\u003e\nenlightenment. He addresses egocentrism (self-centeredness) and \u003cbr\u003e\nallocentrism (other-centeredness), and the blending of focal and global \u003cbr\u003e\nattention. He explains the remarkable processes that encode, store, and \u003cbr\u003e\nretrieve our memories, focusing on the covert, helpful  remindful \u003cbr\u003e\nprocesses incubating at subconscious levels. And he considers the \u003cbr\u003e\nilluminating confluence of Zen, clinical neurology, and neuroscience. \u003cbr\u003e\nFinally, he describes an everyday life of \"living Zen,\" drawing on the \u003cbr\u003e\npoetry of Basho, the seventeenth-century haiku master.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"James H.
