Description

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.
Sample Book Insights:
#1 The breath is a good anchor to bring you back into the present moment because you are only breathing now. It is not about the breath, but about the relationship between what seems like the perceiver and the perceived.
#2 We often say that we are breathing, but in reality, it is not up to us to keep the breath going. The brain stem takes care of that very nicely. We might have some influence on the expression of our core aspects of biology, but we are not allowed to say that we are really doing the breathing.
#3 The work of cultivating mindfulness is both difficult and enjoyable. It is a lifelong challenge for each of us to grow into the fullness of who we are, and it is a way for our very being to express itself authentically.
#4 When it comes to mindfulness, each of us brings our own genius to the table. We cannot help but make use of and build on everything that has come before us, even if much of it was and is painful.
