How to apply mindfulness in daily life Who wouldn’t want to live a calmer, more peaceful existence? Thomas and Beverly Bien teach that if we find the center within through ongoing mindfulness we will have the capacity to live deeply and fully, with boundless peace and happiness, in any external circumstance.
