Hakomi is a way to use mindfulness for self-discovery and emotional healing. It can be used by psychologists, psychotherapists, counselors, social workers and healers of all kinds, as well as teachers, coaches and other aid professionals, as well as anyone who wants to live and relate to other people in a more conscious way.

Hakomi is a gentle but powerful way to apply mindfulness specifically to reveal and transform the underlying beliefs and habits that affect how we experience life. It is effective in managing and transforming stress, exhaustion, health and relationship issues, as well as any other life challenges. Hakomi is a journey to discover how we react unconsciously and regularly with others in our lives and how we organize our experience according to old beliefs and attitudes.

In this book, Donna Martin, Hakomi's pioneer and carrier of Ron Kurtz's legacy, will kindly accompany you to discover the beautiful power of loving presence, a state in which the experience of the present moment, the experience of what Kurtz called "being and being with", is embraced as a blessing and a gift. In Hakomi, mindfulness has become a relational practice, imbued with compassion and love.
