Maintaining a meditation practice can seem like a daunting task, but Kindness Now will introduce you to the basics of mindfulness meditation and guide you into a deeper practice intended to promote personal growth and connection to your authentic self. Meditation teacher Amanda Gilbert introduces the traditional Buddhist heart practices known as the Brahma-Viharas Loving-Kindness, Compassion, Appreciative Joy, and Equanimityas the foundation for a successful meditation practice. Gilbert will instruct you on how to bring these heart practices into your life through her 28-day guided meditation program aimed at helping you become a kinder, more compassionate, and radically loving person. With each daily practice, you will learn how to be more resilient in the face of common stressors, including anxiety, feelings of depression, imposter syndrome, and social media comparison effects, and ultimately make meditation an essential part of your life and self-care practice.

Ive come to understand there are two places where we meet our full unfiltered humanity. One is in the journey between heartbreak and healing. And the other is where we deal with this inevitable processon the meditation cushion. The latter is a place where humans have gone to metabolize our most unearthing and life-affirming experiences while being in the uncharted terrain of discovering what it means to feel whole, complete, and at ease in our own skin.
Ive also come to learn that the very same qualities that make us human, from our ability to love someone thoroughly to spontaneously smiling at someone as they walk by on the street, also enable us to make it from the rumbles of setbacks, breakups, and great losses to rebuilding ourselves in the aftermath. This is the quality of kindness. Kindness is what the human heart is made of. It gives us the wisdom, strength, and perseverance to face our most vulnerable and difficult life moments. And it guides us in uncovering the bottomless depths of our love, our compassion, and our most genuine dreams and intentions. Through kindness we realize healing is possible, feeling good is possible, and meeting our full authentic selves is possible. And it is the very quality that enables us to make it through one meditation session, one messy human moment at a time.
Kindness is now about to get the spotlight it deserves in your life, and Im so happy we get to walk down this path of understanding and discovering together. The very fact that you are holding this book in your hands means you are ready to find out what the teachings of kindness have in store for you. Let me tell you, I am confident that these pages and twenty-eight days of practice will rock your world. More so, I am confident that learning how to meet yourself and the world with kindness now will be the exact inner resource you have been looking for. To put it simply, kindness heals. And I bow to your hearts wisdom for guiding you here to train your heart and mind in becoming an even more loving, understanding, and compassionate human being.
