Soon mindfulness breathing becomes second nature like riding a bicycle or swimming
EVERY BREATH YOU TAKE; HOW TO BREATHE YOUR WAY TO A MINDFUL LIFE
WRITTEN BY ROSE ELLIOT
This gentle book repeats Thich Nhat Hanh philosophy about mindful breathing. Being aware of your breathing with sixteen exercises. If you are able to sit quietly and close your eyes and think about your nose as you breath. For instance Breathing in, I know I am breathing in. Breathing out, I know I am breathing out. Doing these exercises of one to two minutes of practice two or three times per day. Soon mindfulness breathing becomes second nature like riding a bicycle or swimming. Then you can take a mindfulness breath any place, or anytime, without closing your eyes.
Since I already have Thich Nhat Hanh's books and some Audio of his teachings this was not new information for me. Every Breath You Take was a repetition to read and enforce what I already knew.
For those who are new to Thich Nhat Hanh's work this is a good place to start. It is short and very reader friendly.
Thank you to Net Galley, Rose Elliot and Watkins publishing for my digital copy in exchange for a fair and honest review.
Breathing Can Be Beautiful
This is a beautiful book to learn from and to work your way through at your own pace. If you've been wishing to bring mindfulness and peace into your life, this is a good starter. The original teachings came from Buddha, but he gave them to everyone regardless of faith or no faith. You don't have to be a Buddhist to breathe or to be mindful.
If you already follow the teachings of Thich Nhat Hanh, then the information contained herein will not be new to you. Having said that, a student learns from whatever they read, so there may be a little gem hiding in here that you didn't quite pick up the first time.
A few reviewers have mentioned that the content is repetitive. Breathing is repetitive too... The reader will also gain an insight into Rose Elliot herself and how she heard the words of Buddha, her life, and the sweet humour that is needed daily in everyone's life.
Give this to a friend as a gift. It's a lovely size and beautifully laid out. I was given a free copy of this book via Goodreads, which I voluntarily read and reviewed. All opinions are honest and my own.
