      Many mental health clinicians--even those well acquainted with mindfulness--still view physical, body-oriented techniques as outside their scope of practice. In this accessible book, clinical psychologist, exercise physiologist, and yoga and mindfulness teacher Paul Salmon gives therapists of any orientation the tools to use mindful movement with clients. Salmon shows how simple practices like breathing, walking, and yoga-like stretches can help clients center their attention in the present moment with curiosity and self-acceptance. He summarizes research on the benefits of movement for specific mental and physical health conditions and provides vivid case examples and scripts. Purchasers get access to a companion website where they can download audio recordings of 29 guided practices.

Nothing could go wrong, could it? You couldn't make things worse, could you? You could just use it for sightseeing maybe. See first-hand history being made. You would be a bystander having no effect on history so no danger there then. Oh but wait, do all plans turn out right? What if it all goes wrong? What do you do? Go back again to put it right? This could get complicated and very messy. What if the device becomes smart, very smart and decides that it wants to go its own way? It would have no use for you anymore, would it? This could become sinister. It could pose real danger to your health and welfare. It could even start a war...
