Christ Centred Mindfulness
In the award-winning Christ Centred Mindfulness, leading academic and experienced mental health worker Dr Katherine Thompson addresses these questions and draws on the rich Christian tradition to present Christian mindfulness exercises that help us slow down, connect to what is happening inside ourselves, and make space to listen for God’s guidance in everyday life.
Whether you’re a Christian who is curious about mindfulness practice and its benefits, or you work in a counselling profession and are trying to sort through your own approach to mindfulness-based therapies, this book is for you.
Katherine Thompson has done the church and the followers of Jesus a great service in writing this book … A must read for those committed to Christian meditation and taking our faith into the marketplace where such spiritual disciplines abound.

From the Introduction: The Mindfulness Maze
“
I have come to understand mindfulness as a way of using all our senses, and the quiet part of our mind, to connect well to both our internal and external world. Such mindfulness ... can be based in Christian practices such as silence, rest and prayer. These things help us slow down, connect to what is happening inside ourselves and make space to listen for God’s guiding in everyday life. This can produce a practice that is deeply embedded in faith values, bringing greater transformation, Christlikeness and a sense of fulfilment. We can become less stressed and anxious, and more able to respond to what is happening ‘now’ in a healthier way.
