review 1: This little book is full of wisdom, energy, and love, and one of the most precious books that I have ever read because of the following reasons:First, Thich Nhat mentioned that "when you think you are sitting alone, your ancestors are sitting with you." So, breathing in, I can say, "Mother, I invite you to breathe in and out with me." The following quote reminds me of my decreased mother:"When they were alive, they might not have had a chance to sit mindfully and breathe peacefully. But now, in you, they have that chance. There is no separate self. We are a current. We are a stream. We are a continuation."Second, he introduced that "guided meditation is a chance to talk with your inner child, to invite her to come out and greet life in the present moment." I can let her kn... moreow that she doesn't have to hold fear or anger any longer. I can tell her that I can protect her so everything will be okay.
review 2: 3.5 starsA delightful little book full of wonderful short chapters and quaint illustrations, offering quick, but powerful reminders on the power of mindfulness meditation. I give it 3.5 stars not because it isn't helpful, but because I don't think its a great place to start for beginner's to the philosophy or practice. It's a supplemental book for those who'd like some pick me ups and/or inspiration when it comes to their own practice. I recommend "Peace is Every Step" first; and this as a companion. less
