Transforming Mindfulness is a compassionate trilogy-based compendium regarding mindfulness-oriented meditation. Book 1: The Sacred River is a person-focused soul-story of a military chaplain, Iraqi veteran, and PTSD/mTBI clinic director/pastoral counselor, an intrepid journey into mindfulness via the converging currents of ancient wisdom, modern contemplative neuroscience and philosophy. The mythos of mindfulness is introduced as is a practical spiritual tapestry exercise, whereby the reader may discover the holistic function of mindfulness grounded in spirituality. Book 2: The Adepts of Kingdom Mindfulness is a studious introduction to the principles and rationale for recontextualizing secular models of mindfulness, (e.g. MBCT, MBSR, KORU Mindfulness, Warriors at Ease, and iRest). Courageous hospitality is offered as a skillful means to overcome cultural barriers and aversions which impede respectful dialogue, inhibit mutual learning, and limit perspectives to myopic stereotypes of meditation, religion, spirituality, and mindfulness. Well-researched, the literature of the classic Judeo-Christian spiritual adepts and numerous historical, biblical, and philosophical precedents for relocating mindfulness are provided to enrich and ground personal practice. The roots of mindfulness within numerous wisdom traditions, including the Judeo-Christian, are revealed. The spiritual component of mindfulness is boldly addressed and unfolds within a core concept called Kingdom mindfulness. Book 3: Entering a Divine Rest, the summit of Transforming Mindfulness, demonstrates a respectful recontextualization of Integrated Restoration (iRest Yoga Nidra) while recognizing and honoring its history and tradition. Practical aids are provided to supplement the skilled teaching and practice of a distinctively Christocentric meditation model called I Rest in Him (aka iRest in Him). Includes: *an introduction and orientation to guided meditation (model script) an annotated iRest in Him script, talking points, and languaging options for teaching, reflection, and discussion, a catch-and-release glossary for Word-fishers, footnotes and a comprehensive bibliography, an appendix of resource materials, an integrated Study Guide (learning objectives, group discussion questions, and chapter-specific recommended readings and music for reflection.) ADDITIONAL AUDIO RESOURCE (available separately): I Rest in Him: A Practice Companion is a two-part supplemental guide to the iRest in Him practice: Artwork: The Messiah https://Rassouli.com
