BEYOND THE MIND explores meditation and mindfulness as therapy for tragedy and recurring negative thought. With a focus on the isolation faced by many during lockdown, the book takes you through the stages of mindfulness therapy and explains the practical uses for everyday life.
Jema Fowler was always really interested in self-improvement and helping people get the most out of life. She notes that she was in a really bad place in her life throughout 2019 and was adamant she wasnt going to resort to mainstream medicine. So she started my journey in learning how the human mind works, studying endless online courses, reading books, practicing meditation, listening to podcasts and she could actually have full control over her thoughts and emotions and begin to learn how to overcome negative situations without it ruining our mental and physical health. Jema was fascinated by what she was learning and how fast it turned her life around. She was desperate to share this information with other people and be able to help other people in the simplest context. As she notes, "I know that when we are suffering, we cant get stuck into a complex book, so I began writing an easy read book to help people through hard times. I love the feedback I've had from Beyond the Mind and I have continued writing through my blogs and online coaching through my website: www.jemalifecoach.com".
"One of the most significant and relatable aspects of Jema Fowlers Beyond the Mind is her assessment of how COVID-19 both ignited the need for change within many of us and lead to feelings of anxiety. Going hand in hand with this idea, Fowler also highlights the impact that social media can have on our mindset, writing that: social media has a positive side and can be beneficial and indeed it has been a lifeline to many during the Coronavirus crisis. Through her discussion, Fowler educates the reader on how our emotions and mental state can be affected by outward influences like the Coronavirus and social media, and informs us that we must try to limit their impact, we do not have to be slaves to social media and all of us need to be mindful of what we allow to influence us and the input that we allow. Through her easy-to-follow format and digestible writing style, Fowler offers a piece of clarity and sense in a time that is so uncertain." -- Sophie Smith
