This book describes many of the ways to seek mindfulness in daily life. (  )ovistine | Nov 9, 2008 |    It teaches the valuable art of not only how to live well but how to live with acute perception. Simple lessons, huge benefits. (  )frank_oconnor | Sep 14, 2008 | This book is of the utmost interest to everyone in psychology. Mindfulness is the newest wave, causing a paradigm shift in much of therapy, causing an avalanche of text books. Save yourselves the trouble: It's all in this little book. Marsha Linehan et al. helped create the new craze in psychology, and this is one of her sources as well. It was recommended to me by a professor of religion, Patricia O'Connell Killen, many years ago, who foresaw the paradigm shift. I recommend Killen's books, she is one of the greatest minds of our times. ( )Godot73 | Jul 6, 2008 | 1  Miracle of Mindfulness is about how to take hold of your consciousness and keep it alive to the present reality, whether eating a tangerine, playing with your children, or washing the dishes. A world-renowned Zen master, Nhat Hanh weaves practical instruction with anecdotes and other stories to show how the meditative mind can be achieved at all times and how it can help us all "reveal and heal." Nhat Hanh is a master at helping us find a calm refuge within ourselves and teaching us how to reach out from there to the rest of the world. --from Amazon.com TunstallSummerReads | May 15, 2008 | 1 |  from back cover: "This lucid and beautifully written guide to Eastern meditation provides Westerners with a method of learning the skills of mindfulness--of being awake and fully aware. Modern medical developments have shown the positive effects of meditation for psychological and physical health, and the reader will need no particular religious orientation to benefit from the wisdom of this manual. Thich Nhat Hanh's gentle anecdotes and practical exercises focus the reader's attention on breathing and show that the contexts for being mindful are numerous and close at hand--washing the dishes, answering the telephone, drinking tea."

Amazon.com (ISBN 0807012394, Paperback)Miracle of Mindfulness is a sly commentary on the Anapanasati Sutra, the Sutra on Breath to Maintain Mindfulness. "Sly" because it doesn't read like a dry commentary at all. One of Thich Nhat Hanh's most popular books, Miracle of Mindfulness is about how to take hold of your consciousness and keep it alive to the present reality, whether eating a tangerine, playing with your children, or washing the dishes. A world-renowned Zen master, Nhat Hanh weaves practical instruction with anecdotes and other stories to show how the meditative mind can be achieved at all times and how it can help us all "reveal and heal." Nhat Hanh is a master at helping us find a calm refuge within ourselves and teaching us how to reach out from there to the rest of the world. --Brian Bruya(retrieved from Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:58:24 -0400) The first test round has been closed.
