Book excerpt: Calligraphy as Art and Meditation presents a new approach to calligraphy, one uniquely suited to our time. In it, the making of calligraphic letter forms becomes a way to integrate mind, body, and feeling, to enrich creativity, and enhance well-being. The exercises in Western alphabetic writing, arranged in a guided progression, provide an opportunity to develop awareness, relax the mind, and open the door to artistic expression. The audience for Calligraphy as Art and Meditation includes: adult learners, meditators, teachers, therapists, artists and art students, graphic designers, and children of all ages. The training alphabets, from "Playball" to "Proteus," introduce you to the elements of calligraphy through a framework called the 3 "D"s: DESIGN, DUCTUS, and DYNAMICS. Tool usage is the foundation for calligraphic development. Here, the participant begins with the familiar pencil and progresses in gradual, developmental steps to the sophisticated edged pen. For a culture so deeply rooted in the written word, we have not, surprisingly, woven calligraphy into the general fabric of public life. Nonetheless, our current milieu is ripe for appreciating the values inherent in this art form. It is the mission of Calligraphy as Art and Meditation to conduct a joyful exploration of calligraphy in an attempt to find its untapped essence, and in this effort, to re-envision its role in our cultural life.

This book offers a rare opportunity to spend time in the presence of his beautiful creations. For Thich Nhat Hanh, creating calligraphy is more than creating art - it is also a meditative practice.

Each calligraphy is made of mindful sitting, breathing, walking, smiling - and love.

This book was released on 2020-12-27 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mindfulness meditation disciplines are deeply rooted in the Far East's cultural past, and yet they are now being widely taught and researched in the modern West. What is more, when these differing perspectives on the same spiritual territory come together from opposite ends of the globe, their ways can interweave harmoniously - allowing for a new greater synthesis, or Way, to manifest. 'Mindfulness and Traditional Chinese Zen Arts' takes you on a journey into and through that broader landscape - into the heart of secular mindfulness and ancient Chinese Zen philosophy - by demystifying four traditional Chinese Zen arts that are more than 1000 years old. The author, Tristan Petts, a qualified British secular mindfulness meditation instructor, has spent two decades painstakingly searching for and practicing traditional mindful arts under authentic masters. Now, after having taught mindfulness and Chinese Zen arts alongside one another in the Far East for many years, he is committed to sharing the insights that he has gathered along that Way. Written in the simple, clear, modern scientific language of western secular mindfulness, this book holds the potential to delight, inspire, and enlighten anyone interested in world arts, mindfulness, Chinese Zen philosophy, or eastern practical spirituality in general.

Book excerpt: Over the years, Thich Nhat Hanh and his monastic community in Plum Village, have developed more and more ways to integrate mindfulness practices into every aspect of their daily life. A few years back Thich Nhat Hanh began to develop gentle exercises based on Yoga and Tai Chi movements. Initially designed as mindful stretching breaks between long periods of sitting meditation, Mindful Movements became a popular tool to complement to sitting meditation extending Thich Nhat Hanh's trademark gentle approach to Buddhist teachings into a series of physical movements. These movements enjoy a growing popularity amongst his students and have become integral part of his retreats. These simple and effective practices are meant to reduce stress and tension to help the practitioner gain the serenity he needs to return to a state of mindfulness. When done as part of a full mediation practice, theses movements can address mental, emotional, and physical stress. Offered to the general public for the first time, the Mindful Movements have been lovingly illustrated by one of Thich Nhat Hanh's long-time practitioner, Wietske Vriezen. Drawn in a whimsical and immediately appealing style the booklet presents 10 routines that can be practiced by people of all ages and body types whether they are already familiar with mindfulness practices or not. The Mindful Movements are designed to be accessible to as many people as possible. Far from being another exercise program, Mindful Movements is for all those wanting to add a gentle but physical element to their meditation practice.They can be practiced before or after sitting meditation, at home, or at work - any time you have a few minutes to refresh your body and quiet your mind. For those new to meditation they are a great, non-threatening way to get acquainted with mindfulness as a complete and multi-faceted practice. For those who already have an established sitting practice Mindful Movements will come as a welcomed addition to their practice. With a foreword by Thich Nhat Hanh and Introduction by Jon Kabat-Zinn [TBC]

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first mainstream book about meditative practice rock balancing—with practical guidance on letting go of limiting beliefs and finding happiness in the present moment Rock balancing is the practice of piling up stones in natural settings, creating everything from simple towers to amazingly elaborate and apparently gravity-defying edifices. People balance rocks for fun, to challenge themselves, and to connect to nature and focus on the present moment. This is the first mainstream book about the meditative art of rock balancing, combining technical advice with spectacular color photographs of the author’s own balances, as well as guidance on approaching rock balancing as a mindfulness meditation practice. As the book guides you through the practical techniques of rock balancing, it also explains how to breathe properly, how to approach the rocks with self-belief, and how to face fear and go beyond what you had previously thought to be your limits. Finally, it discusses how to let go and destroy the balances you have created, leaving nature in a pristine state. The book includes inspirational quotes, tips and step-by-step instructions for beginner and more advanced rock balancers, meditative exercises to do while balancing, and fun challenges. A rock balance is a metaphor for whatever you are trying to achieve in life—and this practice allows you to train yourself to do more than you ever thought possible.
