Transform everyday routines into moments of mindfulness with this beautifully illustrated collection of 70+ poetic meditations for daily inspiration!

Even ordinary daily activities offer an opportunity to return to a state of mindfulness. These gathas, or daily mindfulness verses, can be recited while washing the dishes, driving the car, or even standing in line—helping you to slow down and enjoy every part of your day, both big and small.

When we focus our mind on a gatha, we return to ourselves and become more aware of each action. When the gatha ends, we continue our activity with heightened awareness. As exercises in both mediation and poetry, gathas are very much in keeping with the Zen tradition.

Featuring beautiful illustrations, this collection of inspirational verses will help you practice daily mindfulness—so you can connect to the joy of the present moment.
