Η ζωή μας είναι γεμάτη καταιγίδες, ας κρατήσουμε μια ήσυχη γωνιά, το δικό μας χώρο, για μας τους ίδιους, για τον εαυτό μας. Ένα μικρό προσωπικό χώρο για γαλήνη και αυτοσυγκέντρωση, για εσωτερική δύναμη και ανανέωση. Αφήστε έξω από την πόρτα της ήσυχης γωνίας σας όλες τις προσδοκίες και ετοιμαστείτε να μπείτε σ έναν κόσμο όπου όλα μπορούν να συμβούν.
Nancy O’Hara is a meditation teacher, a life coach, and the author of six books on meditation & mindfulness practice + two Zen mystery novels. She lives in the Hudson Valley with her perfectly imperfect husband, a river and mountains outside her windows and wildlife as her neighbors.
This book has been a good reminder for me to take a few minutes of reflective time every day. The first section focuses on making time for stillness on your own each day. This part is best read just a page or two at a time because each topic is no more than a page so it only takes a minute or two. The second section is about bringing that serenity into the rest of your life: at work, anytime things are going wrong, in family situations, and even when watching TV.
I'm happy that I own a copy of this one, because it has become almost like a reference book for me and I come back to it every few days. The cover inspires a peaceful feeling and the contents, even more so. Really nice book to have.
Cada página de este libro es una serena sugerencia. Una invitación deliciosa a desconectarse del estrés, del malestar, del aburrimiento o el mal genio. Es un libro de fluye entre las manos.
I certainly do not need an arm twisting to spend time alone, I love my time alone, and because of this I sometimes feel guilty since I am not extending attention to others and their needs. This book has helped me understand how essential time alone is to my health and spiritual growth. It has also served as a guide to make productive use of my time alone such as meaningful reflection, renewing, healing, accepting but most importantly, I have learned the practice being in the present.
By intertwining various religions, the author not only reaches a vast audience but helps us understand others religions and the fundamental needs of humans.
En enkel guide til pust- og oppmerksomhetstrening som jeg hadde godt av å lese! Viktige påminnere å ta med seg i hverdagen, så det blir nok ikke siste gang jeg leser eller lytter til denne boken.
