This is a short little book about meditation. It is a basic guide to what meditation is and why it‘s important. Something that I thought was interesting was that he talked a lot about how meditation doesn‘t have a purpose. It‘s not supposed to make us more peaceful, happier, better, etc. Those might be side effects, but if you go into it with that expectation, you‘re missing the point. It‘s about accepting what is, not trying to get better.

How to Focus | Thich Nhat Hanh

Added another 'How To' book to my Thich Nhat Hanh collection. As always, this one was a good, bit sized, easy to digest book on mindfulness that I would recommend to anyone interested in slowing down and living a more mindful life. Not pictured are my two favorites from the series 'How to Fight' and 'How to Love' that I immediately gifted to other people who I thought would enjoy them 🤗

A Jon Kabat-Zinn book from 1994. Not that that should be seen as any sign of outdated-ness: I‘ve been meditating for a while now and sometimes you can lose track of the “why” ~> this book, full of tips/tricks for looking at the everyday as anything but mundane, puts the “mindful” back into my mindfulness meditation. Watch “Healing and the Mind,” an old TV series that spotlights his breathing classes for patients w/ chronic pain = really inspiring.

I'm putting this out there for anyone struggling atm. Life is hard at times, mostly mediocre, then truly magnificent, but always utterly amazing. Take a moment to appreciate that and recognise the good things in your day, give thanks for them.

When I'm having a bad day, I go outside and watch the sky, taking deep breaths. Just really watch all the changes of cloud patterns, light, life flitting across the sky. ⬇️

AllDebooks I promise it really works at calming your thoughts. Keep keeping on xxx 7mo

This was such a pleasant surprise. Each short chapter is about a thing or situation from which you can derive pleasure. It is about time spent alone, taking the time to think of the bigger picture, but also about enjoying and appreciating ordinary things you do or buy or eat. Very mindful and a very good one to start a four day weekend with! Thank you Helen for this special gift 🤍

TrishB And a lovely picture ❤️ 10mo
