Inward Traveler: 51 Ways to Explore the World Mindfully offers a series of adventures big and small, near and far,designed to make every moment richer and more mindfully experienced. From the smells of the Istanbul spice market, to the stark and wind swept tip of southern Chile, and to the dead-silent mountaintops on the island of Kauai, each stand-alone mini-chapter takes the reader on a journey to explore inner thoughts, feelings and sensations while investigating the surrounding world. Photos of places discussed, and illustrations, accompany the text. Rather than a traditional travel book recommending places and providing advice about packing or where to eat, Inward Traveler provides cues to enrich any experience through the process of heightened attention and immersion in experiences. Through travel stories, anecdotes, and metaphors, readers will explore the process of living fully and in the moment, through journeys of any dimension.Making the most of travel is what this book is all about. It's a tech manual that teaches readers how to bathe in positive experiences encountered, as well as ways to deal with trials and tribulations faced along the way. By conscious reframingreaders will learn how to alleviate some of the problems and stresses in life, while substituting positive feelings.Whether the travels take the reader across an ocean or just across a street, Inward Traveler provides ways to sense the world deeply and in the present moment. Change may require a shift from the busy and somewhat distracted daily patternsthat characterize the 21st century life style. Prompts in each of the 51 chapters guide readers' explorations.
