Product Description

Synopsis

The simple practice of walking with attention and mindfulness can bring a spirit of prayer into everyday life. This book concentrates on this form of meditation, whilst walking and taking in the sights and atmosphere. It instructs in "walking not in order to arrive, walking just for walking".


From the Publisher

"Walking just for walking."
"We walk slowly, in a relaxed way, keeping a light smile on our lips. When we practice this way, we feel deeply at ease, and our steps are those of the most secure person on Earth." —Thich Nhat Hanh

In this beautiful, pocket-sized book, Thich Nhat Hanh teaches his well-known method of "walking just for walking." Learn to enjoy each step, each breath, the blue sky, and the many sights and fragrances along the path. In his inspiring commentary, Thich Nhat Hanh reveals how this simple practice has helped him regain peace and serenity in difficult moments.

Written in the clear, accessible style for which Thich Nhat Hanh’s work has become well-known, The Long Road Turns to Joy offers an important practice that brings a spirit of gentle mindfulness into our everyday lives. Includes photos of walking meditation from around the world.

"Try it, your walking will never be the same!" —Yoga Journal

5.0 out of 5 stars The best self-help book I've read, 30 Sep 1998
By A Customer
This simple and easy to read guide to walking meditation is much deeper than it looks. It is a step-by-step instruction book on the way (and pleasure) of walking meditation.I can tell you first hand that a slow and mindful walk does wonders for lifes daily stress. Hanh is Buddhist monk that writes for the general public. He shares his insites with the reader about the benefits of a quiet meditative walk. He covers breathing and mind-calming techniques for those who wish to explore walking meditation more deeply. I recommend this book to anyone who wishes they could excape from lifes turmoil and slow down a bit. It may end up being the best $7.00 you've ever spent.

5.0 out of 5 stars Small but perfectly formed, 8 Sep 2003
By A Customer
Small enough to fit in your pocket - so you can take it with you on walks.
Full of easy-to-read infomation - pick it up and read just one page easily.
Well written with nice pictures. Would recommend to anyone who wants to make their walking more than just walking.
