When we asked William Bloom to choose a favourite book to accompany this month's 'Space', in which he shares his thoughts on developing and maintaining a Spiritual Practice, he didn't hesitate in recommending The Miracle of Mindfulness. In this beautifully written book, Buddhist monk, poet and Zen teacher Thich Nhat Hanh explains how to acquire the skills of mindfulness, keeping your consciousness alive to the reality that is with you here and now. These gentle anecdotes and practical exercises will help you to arrive at greater self-understanding and peacefulness. Once you learn these skills, you can slow your life down and discover how to live in the present moment, when even the simplest acts - like washing the dishes or drinking a cup of tea - may be transformed into times of meditation, concentration and relaxation. 140pp, 136mm x 212mm, softback, 1991
