Many of us much more aware of our relationship with money these days, and thanks to the likes of Barbara Wilder's Money is Love [200706], we are seeking to transform our perceptions of money, to be free of fear, embracing it as a positive energy. Now, in The Mindfulness Budget, Madonna Gauding offers a way to build on this by guiding you in using mindfulness techniques to improve your financial and emotional 'balance sheet'. Firstly you learn the basics of mindfulness, a method of focused awareness, with its roots in Buddhism, that makes the present moment vividly tangible, heightens the senses and increases your ability to think clearly and make positive life choices. Then you will explore common beliefs about money, to expand your thinking about it. You will also be able to create and follow your mindfulness budget, setting healthy financial priorities, avoiding compulsive spending and excessive personal debt, and finding your abundance.
