The Art of Mindful Living

You Can’t Stop The Waves, But You Can Learn To Surf

THE ART OF MINDFUL LIVING is a powerful and user-friendly guide to the life-liberating art of mindfulness meditation.  Each chapter illuminates an inherent aspect of a skillfully applied mindfulness practice and describes how to cultivate these qualities both in sitting meditation and in daily life. It includes a section dedicated to working with difficult emotions, in which Tobin describes a compassionate and deeply authentic way to heal and liberate ourselves from the painful, repetitive waves of feeling that can run so rampant in our lives. The Art of Mindful Living is written both for people very new to the path of mindful awareness and for seasoned meditators ready for a booster-shot of clarity, compassion and inspiration.

TOBIN ZIVON has wholeheartedly dedicated himself to spiritual awakening and serving others in the blossoming of their highest potential for over two decades.  In his mindfulness based work with groups, couples and individuals, he utilizes a variety of potent and creative means to bring about embodied, joyful transformation.  He currently lives in Maui, Hawaii, a base from which he serves people around the globe.
