Way of Now: Nowflow for Meditation, Peak Performance, and Daily Life

Angebote / Angebote:

For millennia and into modern times, being "in the now" and "in the flow" have held out promising solutions for human suffering and performance. In Way of Now, tai chi master and physicist Dr. Wonchull Park lays out the rational foundation for why and how this is so: Now as nowflow (but not nowshape) is the practical whole.With this rational understanding that applies to all situations, we can guide ourselves-safely and effectively-as we practice and benefit from various traditions and modalities. With explanations that bridge the seemingly mundane to the seemingly mysterious, Way of Now connects the "here and now" of meditation to the "flow state" of peak performance-and everything in between-because nowflow includes all that is practical in action.Table of Contents: IntroductionTwo conundrums, one explanation: nowflow as practical whole1.
