Jon Kabat-Zinn helps you get started with meditation

If you're looking to get started with meditation — or help someone you care about to do the same — you'll want to check this out. Mindfulness meditation pioneer Jon Kabat-Zinn has released a new book, Mindfulness for Beginners: Reclaiming the Present Moment — And Your Life, and you can now read an exclusive excerpt called "Meditation: Getting Started" over at Mindful.org.

There you'll find incredibly clear guidance on the very basics: how to sit in a correct meditation posture, what to do with your eyes during the practice, how to work with sleepiness, and how to "protect" your meditation time. Check out "Meditation: Getting Started" here. (And then, to start up with the practice, check out Mindfulness for Beginners as well as Mindful.org's collection of articles, "Mindfulness: The Basics.")
