"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

Format:Paperback
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.
