Here, Shinzen Young beings his special expertise in vipassana (insight meditation) to help you learn one of its most subtle yet rewarding skills: the ability to observe in "real time" the thoughts that shape your deepest perceptions, feelings, memories, and beliefs.

Publisher's Summary

When mindfulness meditation was introduced as an aid for patients suffering from chronic pain, physicians were skeptical. Today, mindfulness meditation is used in hundreds of hospitals and clinics across the country. On Break Through Difficult Emotions, meditation mentor Shinzen Young adapts the core principles of mindfulness training to the treatment of emotional suffering. You will learn powerful meditations for overcoming anger, grief, anxiety, shame, and the many other painful emotions we all experience.
