Publisher's summary

Let’s be honest, mindfulness is everywhere these days. From first grade classrooms to executive suites it seems like everyone in the West is finally starting to reach for the power of a practice that has been a part of the Eastern world for centuries. But, in case you haven’t noticed, mindfulness, what I call shutting up and sitting, doesn’t come all that naturally to our fast paced, big spending, high achieving Western world. In fact, for many of us, the idea of sitting still in the long, dark quiet of our minds seems downright terrifying. But mindfulness doesn’t have to be scary. And no, you don’t have to stare silently at a lotus flower for hours on end in order to reach enlightenment, although, if that’s your jam, more power to you.

In Shut Up and Sit: Finding Silence and All the Life Changing Magic That Comes With It, Consciousness Coach and Consultant Yedda takes her personal and professional years of study into the science and psychology of mindfulness and distills those teachings down to their clearest and yeah, their sassiest essence, making the practice of meditation accessible to anyone. Through a collection of stories, the latest research, exercises, and tools, Yedda brings the power of mindfulness down from the monk’s mountaintop and shares it in a way that speaks directly to Western listeners. Yedda grew up surrounded by alcoholism and drug addiction, depravation and limiting beliefs. She carried those young lessons with her into her own adult life, always believing there had to be another way to live, but unsure exactly how to walk that path herself. But through years of heart crushing family loss, followed by a series of once in a lifetime encounters with teachers like Ken Blanchard and Deepak Chopra, Yedda learned how to overcome her lifelong limiting beliefs, find trust in the universe, discover her deepest self, most importantly to shut up and sit, and how to bring the most successful part of herself, her soul, into the room in all she does personally and professionally, and you can too.
