Synopsis

The simple truth, backed by science to a wide-awake, happy life. What if we could live in a state of mindful, enhanced, aware living every day? Could we? If so, what would be the tangible benefits to ourself? Dr Ligeia Vagharshagian, PsyD, ThD draws on her extensive research and practical experience spanning 40 years to answer your questions on mindfulness. She provides scientific evidence step-by-step to present the case that we all have the innate ability to enter a state of mindfulness without aids such as meditation and posture, a quiet mind or being spiritually minded. Taking the evidence, she then unfolds the amazing story of what it is, why it works and how to tap into its potential to live a wide-awake, happy life. She takes us on a fascinating journey into prehistoric times with our ancestors through to religious practices and forward to the cutting-edge, state-of-the-art present day technological breakthroughs of new science in measuring and understanding mindfulness. She presents a range of proven routes that we can take to apply mindfulness in a way best suited to ourself. The aim of this book is you. What works for you, what resonates with you and how you could apply it to your life in a way that adds value to your living. You may be curious about all the press about mindfulness and want to understand it without the hype. Or you may have questions about the subject. What’s it feel like to be mindful? Is it real? Can it change my life? How hard is it? Or you may be an outright sceptic. The validated science, historical data and verified information presented will give you ways to use what's already inside you to release the benefits into your life. So, you don't need to sit in a cloud of incense, adopt a posture, repeat words, meditate, belong to a belief system or practice in a certain way to live mindfully - these are helpful in their own way, but they’re practices that lead you to tap into something already in you. You just have to read through the book with a sense of adventure at what you’ll discover and apply what resonates with you. So, would you like to enjoy life more, be more aware, relate better, be more compassionate, have a clearer mind, make better decisions, have better focus, break negative emotional habits, sleep better? These are some of the scientifically proven benefits of living mindfully you’ll discover. Dr Ligeia Vagharshagian has been awarded two PhDs, one in Theology and Religion and one in Counselling Psychology and has an authoritative depth and clarity that comes from her breadth of knowledge, understanding and expertise and most importantly, from her practical experience. Always inquisitive and asking quirky questions has lead her into amazing discoveries. Ligeia has investigated many belief systems and rituals and the sciences and written on and instructed in eastern and western belief systems. She draws insights from her explorations of multiple disciplines including Religious and Western and Eastern Spiritual Practices, Theology, Cognitive and Competency Developing, Cognitive Psychological Counselling, Temperament Diagnostics, Anthropology, and History to name a few. She served as a cognitive counsellor and taught pastoral and directive counselling in faith-based organisations. She’s conducted workshops and seminars and lectured internationally and has developed and created courses on the wide scope of living a life of possibility. Ligeia loves educating and inspiring others to succeed and to live the life of their dreams and in her own words, “Making our world a better place and helping people develop is a way of life to me. I passionately believe that each life can make a difference to the world and I put great emphasis on personal development of the whole person. The potential in us excites me. The adventure of giving someone the power of knowledge that flips the switch and watch as they realise all the possibility and power in them is my driving passion.
